Banja Luka is the second largest city in the country after the ancient capital, Sarajevo, and is located in northwestern Bosnia on the banks of the Vrbas River. It has become one of the most popular tourist destinations thanks to its beautiful landmarks, springs, resorts, and entertainment venues.

Best time to visit

The city enjoys, like all the lands of Bosnia, a continental climate, where the winters are cold and the summers are mild, in which the average temperature stops at an average of 21 degrees Celsius, and therefore the best seasons to visit Bosnia, including the city of Banjaluka, are during the spring and summer months.

Best places to visit

In addition to the Vras River that embraces the city, Banyaluka promises its visitors that they will enjoy their time a lot, especially on Gospodska Street, which is full of shops, offices, cafes and restaurants, in addition to the Renaissance buildings.

The Ferhat Pasha Mosque is considered one of the important religious and tourist places that you can see in the city, as it is in addition to the Ottoman urban beauty in Bosnia, and one of the greatest achievements of the Ottomans in the 16th century, but it was completely demolished in 1993 by the Serbs, and after things returned to normal, the mosque was rebuilt according to its old design.

As for Castel Castle, it is in turn one of the most important and beautiful landmarks in the city, as it still stands steadfastly to testify to the city's past and its heritage, through its ancient walls and internal buildings such as the armory, towers and garden.
