Bosnia 14 Days Tour Package

Overview

The Bosnia 14 Days Tour Package is the longest of Haqqi Tours' Sarajevo-based itineraries, giving families two full weeks to cover Bosnia and Herzegovina at an unhurried pace and add day trips into Montenegro and Croatia. Alongside the familiar stops in Sarajevo, Mostar, Blagaj, Konjic and Kravice, the extra days reach Travnik, Jajce and Sutjeska National Park, then cross briefly into Montenegro for Kotor Bay and into Croatia for Dubrovnik's old walls. A private vehicle, an Arabic-speaking driver and a Sarajevo hotel booked with breakfast run throughout, with the full plan confirmed in writing before departure. It suits groups who want more than one country covered from a single Bosnia base.

Highlights

  • Fourteen days reaching Bosnia, Montenegro and Croatia from one base
  • Kotor Bay day trip across the border into Montenegro
  • Old city walls of Dubrovnik on the Croatian coast
  • Sutjeska National Park and its old-growth forest
  • Waterfalls and pools at Kravice with time to relax
  • Fortress towns of Travnik and Jajce in central Bosnia
  • Private vehicle and Arabic-speaking driver for all fourteen days
  • Sarajevo hotel with breakfast and airport transfers included

Full Description

Two Weeks Across Three Countries

The Bosnia 14 Days Tour Package is built for groups who want more time in the region than a standard week allows, using Sarajevo as a fixed base for the whole trip while day excursions reach into Montenegro and Croatia. Compared with a shorter itinerary, the schedule here moves deliberately slowly, with a genuine rest day built in between the two longer drives out to Kotor and Dubrovnik. Guests still see the core Bosnian route through Mostar, Blagaj and the central hill towns, but with more breathing room between stops. Haqqi Tours plans the sequence of days and books the hotel and vehicle before the trip begins.

Settling into Sarajevo

With fourteen days to work with, the opening stretch in Sarajevo is unhurried, covering the Ottoman quarter of Bashcharsija, the Austro-Hungarian streets nearby and the sites connected to the city's more recent history, spread across several mornings rather than a single packed day. Afternoons are left freer than in a shorter itinerary, useful for a nap after a long flight or an unplanned return to a market stall the group liked. The guide uses the extra time to answer questions rather than rushing to the next stop on a fixed schedule.

South to Mostar, Blagaj and Konjic

The route south follows the Neretva valley to Mostar, where the rebuilt Stari Most bridge anchors the old town, then continues to the dervish house at Blagaj and the bridge town of Konjic nearby. With extra days available, this stretch can be spread over more than one day rather than compressed into a single long outing, letting the group linger at whichever stop they find most interesting. A private vehicle makes this flexibility possible in a way a fixed coach tour cannot. The guide can also suggest a quieter café by the river in Mostar for guests who would rather sit and watch the water than keep moving between sights.

Kravice Waterfalls and Sutjeska National Park

Two of Bosnia's natural sights feature in the longer package: the waterfalls and swimming pools at Kravice, and the old-growth forest and river canyon of Sutjeska National Park further south, one of the last of its kind in Europe. Both stops reward unhurried time outdoors rather than a quick photo stop, which fits naturally into a fourteen-day pace. The guide can suggest a longer walk at either site for guests who prefer time in nature over another town centre. Sturdy shoes make a real difference on both of these outdoor stops, since the ground underfoot is often uneven away from the main paths.

Crossing into Montenegro for Kotor Bay

A day trip crosses the border into Montenegro to reach Kotor, where a walled old town sits at the base of steep mountains around a deep coastal bay. The drive along the bay itself is part of the appeal, with the road curving beside the water for long stretches before reaching the town. This excursion is only practical with the extra days a fourteen-day trip allows, since the border crossing and drive add real time to what would otherwise be a Bosnia-only itinerary. Guests usually have some free time within Kotor's old town itself before the drive back, enough for a slow walk or a coffee near the harbour.

A Day Trip to Dubrovnik

Croatia's walled city of Dubrovnik is reached on a separate day trip, with time to walk the ramparts above the old town and the marble streets below. Like the Montenegro excursion, this stop depends on the longer timeframe of the fourteen-day package, and the private vehicle handles the border crossing without the group needing to arrange anything themselves. The two international day trips are usually kept on separate days rather than combined, so neither feels rushed. The walk along the city walls in particular rewards a slower pace, with views out over the old town's rooftops and the sea beyond.

Who Books the Longer Package

Groups choosing fourteen days over a shorter Bosnia package are usually looking for more than one country in a single trip, or want a genuinely relaxed pace with built-in rest days rather than sightseeing every morning. It suits larger extended families where a slower schedule matters, and travellers who have already visited Bosnia briefly and want to add Montenegro and Croatia this time without organising a separate trip to each. It also works well for a honeymoon or an anniversary trip where the pace of the days matters as much as the list of places seen.

Planning and Confirming a Fourteen-Day Trip

Because the itinerary is longer and includes two international day trips, Haqqi Tours recommends discussing dates with the operations desk well ahead of travel so the hotel, vehicle and cross-border excursions can all be confirmed together in writing. The desk stays available in Arabic and English throughout the fourteen days, and can adjust the order of days if weather affects the Montenegro or Croatia excursions, before the final transfer back to Sarajevo airport. Confirming everything together at the outset also means no surprises appear partway through the trip once the group has already arrived in Sarajevo.

Itinerary

Day 1
Day 1: Touch down at Sarajevo airport and transfer to the hotel, leaving the remainder of the day open to recover from travel or take a brief exploratory walk close by.
Day 2
Day 2: A relaxed first day in Sarajevo's old quarter, walking through Bashcharsija and past its historic mosques with the guide at an easy, unhurried pace throughout the morning.
Day 3
Day 3: A quieter second morning in Sarajevo followed by a free afternoon, useful for resting properly before the longer driving days that lie further ahead in the itinerary.
Day 4
Day 4: Drive south to Mostar through the scenic Neretva valley, checking into the hotel there with the evening left free to explore the old bazaar streets at leisure.
Day 5
Day 5: A full day around Mostar taking in the Stari Most bridge, the riverside promenade and the surrounding old town at a genuinely unhurried and relaxed pace.
Day 6
Day 6: Visit the dervish house at Blagaj and the old bridge town of Konjic, both close enough to Mostar to combine into one relaxed, easy-paced single day.
Day 7
Day 7: A day at the Kravice waterfalls with time to walk down to the pools and, weather allowing, swim before the private vehicle returns the group to Mostar.
Day 8
Day 8: Cross the border into Montenegro for a day at Kotor Bay, driving along the coastline before walking through the walled old town and its narrow lanes.
Day 9
Day 9: A rest day near Mostar to recover from the earlier days of driving, with the option of a shorter, gentler local outing instead of a fixed excursion.

Day 11: Visit Sutjeska National Park to walk among its old-growth forest and river canyon before the private vehicle heads back toward the towns of central Bosnia.
Day 12
Day 12: Drive north to Travnik to see its hilltop fortress and old mosques, continuing on afterwards to Jajce for the overnight stay before the final stretch.
Day 13
Day 13: A morning at the waterfall and fortress in Jajce before the final long drive back to Sarajevo, with the evening of this second-to-last day left free.
Day 14
Day 14: A free morning in Sarajevo for last-minute shopping or a final walk through the old town, then the transfer to the airport for the flight home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the fourteen-day package instead of a shorter Bosnia trip?
The extra days allow two international excursions, to Kotor Bay in Montenegro and Dubrovnik in Croatia, plus a genuine rest day, rather than covering Bosnia alone at a faster pace.
Do we need a separate visa for the day trips into Montenegro and Croatia?
Requirements depend on nationality, so the operations desk checks current entry rules for Montenegro and Croatia for Gulf and Arab travellers before confirming these two excursions.
How long is the drive to Kotor Bay from the Sarajevo base?
The distance is covered as a single day trip, with the private vehicle handling the border crossing, so no overnight stay away from the Sarajevo hotel is needed for this excursion.
Is Sutjeska National Park suitable for a family with young children?
The forest paths are gentle enough for most families, though sturdy shoes help, and the guide can suggest a shorter walk instead of the longer trails if children tire.
What happens if the weather is poor on the Dubrovnik or Kotor day?
The operations desk can reorder the days if the forecast is unfavourable, moving the Sutjeska or waterfall stops earlier so the coastal excursions happen on a clearer day.
Is there a rest day built into the fourteen-day schedule?
Yes, one day near Mostar is left free of a fixed excursion, useful after the earlier driving days, and it can be swapped for a shorter local outing if preferred.
Do the Montenegro and Croatia days add extra cost beyond the package?
Both excursions are part of the fourteen-day plan agreed with the operations desk before booking, and any additional cost is set out in writing at that stage rather than added later.
What is the general approach to changes or cancellations on a longer package?
Because more stages are involved, from hotel nights to two border excursions, the operations desk confirms terms for changes in writing at booking, and any adjustment is discussed directly with them.
Is comfortable footwear important for this package specifically?
With walking at Sutjeska's forest paths, Kotor's old town streets and Dubrovnik's ramparts, sturdy comfortable shoes matter more on this package than on a city-only Bosnia trip.
Can luggage be left at the Sarajevo hotel during the day trips?
Since the hotel is used as a base for the whole fourteen days, luggage generally stays there for the Kotor and Dubrovnik excursions, with only day bags needed for those outings.
