  • Visit Mostar’s Stari Most, the historic Ottoman-style bridge.
  • Learn Sarajevo’s wartime history at the Tunnel of Hope and Trebevic.
  • Discover Kotor’s medieval lanes and Venetian fortifications by the bay.
  • Walk Dubrovnik’s medieval city walls overlooking the Adriatic.

On this trip you can expect to stay in small family-run hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. You can expect to find clean, safe, simple accommodation in convenient locations.



Note that most accommodation in Europe does not have air conditioning units in rooms. Air conditioning is not routinely installed in European homes and workplaces. However, nearly all hotels will provide a standing or desk fan for your room on hot nights. If you do not already have one in your room, please ask your Expedition Leader to organize one for you with reception.
