The bridge spans the emerald-green Neretva River, providing a picturesque backdrop for photos and a tranquil atmosphere for a leisurely stroll. Note that the time needed to reach this destination from Sarajevo is about 1 hour.

This underground fortress, built to withstand a nuclear attack and shelter over 350 Yugoslav leaders and army generals, is a must-see for history buffs. Please note that it takes approximately 15 minutes to reach Tito's Bunker.
