Banja Luka and a Leap into the New Year

Say goodbye to the old year in a city where festive celebrations blend with warm hospitality, delicious food, and relaxed company. Banja Luka invites you on a four-day New Year getaway combining city sights, local traditions, and pleasant moments over coffee and regional specialities.

We will visit historic Bihać, the Ljubačke Doline ethno village, picturesque Krupa na Vrbasu, and Jajce, discover the story of Banja Luka’s Trappist monks, and enjoy time for festive strolls. The highlight will be welcoming 2027 – either at an optional New Year’s Eve dinner with music in a local restaurant or amid the lively celebrations on the city streets. Invite your partner or friends and start the New Year with wonderful experiences!


Day 1: Slovenia – Bihać – Banja Luka

Historic stories beside the Una and our first festive evening

We will depart in the morning and travel towards Karlovac, continuing to historic Bihać on the River Una. The city played an important role during the Second World War as the centre of the so-called Bihać Republic. It was here, on 26 and 27 November 1942, that the first session of AVNOJ, the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia, took place.

A short stop will allow time for refreshments and sightseeing. We will continue past Una National Park, renowned for its waterfalls, particularly Štrbački Buk and the waterfalls at Martin Brod.

In the afternoon, we will arrive in Banja Luka and check into our hotel. We will spend the evening strolling through the city and enjoying its lively festive atmosphere.

Overnight stay.


Day 2: Ljubačke Doline Ethno Village – Banja Luka

Local traditions, city landmarks, and New Year’s Eve celebrations

We will begin the day with a drive to Ljubačke Doline ethno village. This picturesque complex showcases the area’s traditional life, architecture, and customs, bringing together historic houses and numerous objects from the past. The village includes a school, stable, pharmacy, and shop.

After enjoying local specialities, we will return to Banja Luka in good spirits. A sightseeing tour will introduce us to the city’s landmarks: Kastel Fortress beside the Vrbas, the Museum of Republika Srpska, Gospodska Street, Banski Dvor, the National Theatre, and Holy Trinity Church.

There will then be some free time for shopping, wandering through the city, and refreshments before preparations begin for New Year’s Eve.

At an additional charge, we can welcome 2027 with a delicious dinner, music, and entertainment. Happy New Year! Alternatively, you can spend the evening on the streets of Banja Luka and join the outdoor festive celebrations.

Overnight stay at the hotel.


Day 3: Banja Luka – Krupa na Vrbasu – Jajce – Banja Luka

A New Year’s Day excursion among river rapids and historic landmarks

After a late breakfast, we will travel to Krupa na Vrbasu, a picturesque natural area with river rapids, waterfalls, and green surroundings. Nearby stands the Orthodox Monastery of St Elijah.

Following a short refreshment break, we will continue to Jajce, where the second session of AVNOJ took place in 1943. We will stroll through the town centre and take some time for refreshments.

We will then return to Banja Luka, where there will be further free time.

Overnight stay at the hotel.


Day 4: Banja Luka – Slovenia

Trappist heritage and farewell to Banja Luka

On our final morning, there will be time for a coffee after breakfast. We will then visit the Marija Zvijezda Trappist Monastery, whose monks played an important role in Banja Luka’s economic and industrial development.

The Trappists are also closely associated with the tradition of making the famous Trappist cheese, whose name originates from the French monastery of La Trappe.

Those who wish may visit the church and permanent exhibition, followed by the shop, where cheese, wine, and souvenirs will be available to purchase.

We will then continue towards Slovenia, making stops along the way. Arrival home is expected in the evening.
