The monastery was constructed in 2000 and is an exact copy of the Gracanica Monastery in Kosovo. This religious complex includes an impressive bell, icon gallery, parish’s home, amphitheatre, fountain, church bookshop, museum and summer garden. The views of the city from the monastery are quite picturesque and can be seen from any point in Trebinje. Free. If you want to linger a bit more on the hill with the view, have a drink on the terrace of the restaurant next to the icon gallery.

Built in the 16th century, this Ottoman bridge used to connect the road between Dubrovnik and Istanbul. In the 1960s it was moved 5 km brick-by-brick to Trebinje to prevent being demolished for the building of a dam. Bring some beers from the shop and enjoy the sun setting over the hills.
Whereas the old towns in many other nearby cities, such as Dubrovnik and Kotor, have become tourist traps, between the old city walls of Trebinje, people still go about their daily lives as normal. It is home to two beautiful old mosques, small alleyways, a museum, and tons of cafes that really get pumping on summer nights. Small, but very charming indeed.
Every day, women from the surrounding villages come to Trebinje to sell fruit & vegetables from their own garden at the market. Always fresh, cheap and by definition organic. Other items you can buy include homemade rakija, wine, cheese and clothing.
