Are tourists welcome in Banja Luka?

Yes, absolutely. There’s an Banja Luka tradition, the passeggiata—the gentle evening stroll to see and be seen. It’s about enjoying the city’s beauty at a relaxed pace, and it’s a feeling we believe every visitor should experience in Banja Luka.

You’ll find the spirit of the passeggiata from locals when you connect with the city respectfully.

This is the authentic Banja Luka experience.

It’s this connection we create on our Eating Europe tours. We step away from the crowds and take you to the places locals truly love, introducing you to the people behind the food and the stories that make this city one of a kind.
