Trebinje is a sun-drenched town in the far south of Bosnia and Herzegovina, just a short drive from Dubrovnik, yet worlds apart in pace and atmosphere. Known for its stone bridges, Orthodox monasteries and award-winning wines, Trebinje offers a calm but deeply cultural experience for travellers exploring Herzegovina.

Many tours in Trebinje begin in the Old Town, where narrow streets and shady squares lead to artisan shops, markets and riverfront promenades. Walking tours typically highlight local landmarks like the Arslanagića Bridge and 19th-century architecture, with stops for coffee or regional snacks in tucked-away courtyards.

One of the area’s most popular sights is the Hercegovačka Gračanica, a hilltop monastery that mirrors the famous Gračanica in Kosovo. It offers panoramic views of Trebinje and the surrounding vineyards, making it a frequent stop for cultural and photo-oriented tours.

Wine lovers will find Trebinje to be a hidden gem. Several wineries in the region offer tastings of Žilavka, Vranac and other local varietals, often paired with cheese or cured meats. Some day trips combine winery visits with stops at monasteries or nearby villages, giving travellers a rounded impression of Herzegovina’s culinary and spiritual traditions.

Whether you’re on a relaxed stroll through town or sipping wine in the hills above, Trebinje offers a warm welcome and rich cultural layers to explore.
