Exploring The BEST Things To Do In BANJA LUKA!!

Today w'ere exploring the best things to do in BANJA LUKA!!! ► Subscribe - https://bit.ly/ProbablyLostSubscribe ► Instagram - https://bit.ly/ProbablyLostOnInstagram ► Facebook - https://bit.ly/ProbablyLostFB I'll be the first to admit that I knew absolutely nothing about Banja Luka before we arrived. We booked our flight without having any idea what we'd see or do when we arrived, but that's the beautiful thing about travel. You jump into the unknown & come out better for it. Come with us as we explore the things to do in Banja Luka! We kicked off with some Fabricka Coffee and I don’t believe this coffee shop was specifically local, but it was the only one that I could find that was open today and not a cafe LOL. One of the first things you’ll see when you google Banja Luka is a picture of Christ The Savior Orthodox Cathedral. It’s the most famous structure in the city and serves as the center of town. It was originally built in 1929 but was partially destroyed in 1941 by bombings during WW2. The present cathedral is architecturally identical to the original and was completed in 2004. While you’re nearby also be sure to take a peak at the President of the Republic of Srpska’s House. It’s right across from the cathedral and is pretty clearly an important building based on the security presence. Right in the center of town is Gospodska Street. It’s the oldest and busiest street in Banja Luka & has a host of clothing, jewelry, and other various shops. Gospodska translates to Gentleman’s which has been around since 1878, but the actual name of the street is Veselin Maslesa Street. For lunch we picked Banjalučki Splav, or Banja Luka Raft, for lunch because you can’t beat this location. It’s right on the Vrbas River and looks so cool from the City Bridge so we figured we’d come down here to try and get some Ćevapi. Ćevapi is the national dish of both Bosnia & Herzegovina as well as Serbia, and the Bosnian version is made of two different types of minced beef meat. Back across the Vrbas River is a place called Gradska Tržnica, which translates to City Market. This place is MASSIVE and reminds me of what I would imagine a mall would’ve felt like before the modern version of malls existed. You can basically get anything you could ever need here from fruits & veggies, to hand-made trinkets, to full-on wardrobes. Right between the Banja Luka Raft & City Market is the Kastel Fortress. It’s medieval but it’s situated on the site of previous fortifications that go back to Roman and even pre-Roman times, making it the oldest historical monument in the city. The Kastel Fortress is widely considered the most important symbol and the stone heart of the city of Banja Luka. One really interesting detail about Bosnia is it’s a melting pot of cultures. We’ve already seen a Serbian Orthodox cathedral, and now we’re stopping over at the Ferhat Pasha Mosque. This classic Ottoman mosque was built back in 1579 and stood for almost 400 years before being destroyed during the Bosnian War between 1992 and 1995. Dinner was at a restaurant called Kod Brke which translates to At The Mustache. It’s one of the more popular restaurants in town, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to break the bank eating here for a night. The prices for food are very reasonable and they’ve got a great mix of local, as well as Italian dishes to choose from. We’re ended the day at a place called Master Craft Brewery. The menu has a great selection of local beers, which includes IPAs which are our favorites!! We hope you enjoyed our vlog of Banja Luka and hopefully we gave you some ideas for when you visit!!
