Travnik Experience
My experience of Travnik comprised of 2 nights. In my stay, I got to explore the entire village. There isn’t a lot to do in the town, however the authenticity of the village provides a pleasant experience. Smelling the wooden fire in the evening, while walking along the winding concreted roads with the nature as your backdrop, creates a moment of bliss and calm. That is what every holiday should at least have, and for that criteria I give it a pass. The main attraction of the town is the old fortress, like Jacje, provides an amazing view of the town and its scenery. In my opinion, Travnik is a nice stop over to include in your itinerary if you’re going from East Bosnia to West (Vice Versa).
