i'm Italian but my wife is from Banja Luka. It's one of the most beautiful and relaxing place in the world. I really love this city! I come back whenever I can!!!
AAHH! How great that you guys visited this amazing city! it's my home for two years now and I love it here. I am glad you put Bosnia & Herzegovina on your list! Enjoy your trip!
Thank you so much for watching!!! We couldn't believe how much we loved Banja Luka. It's got so much personality & everyone was so kind. The entire country of Bosnia & Herzegovina FAR exceeded our expectations & we can't wait to come back at some point!!!!
Even if I was born in Banja Luka I watched this video because I love when someone from another country or continet come here and say how it is a stunning city.I hope that you come back to Banja Luka.And how we say: "Puno pozdrava iz Banja Luke❤️"
We really did love our time in Banja Luka. We stayed for a week & really tried to find restaurants/grocery stores/neighborhoods we enjoyed & we were able to find all of them. It's amazing to us that more people don't venture more into that part of the Balkans, & it's a city that we'll never speak badly about. Everyone was just incredibly kind to us the whole time. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video Miky!!!
I'm so proud of my city after watchin this video and hearing all those compliments that you said. You can literally come again here just to eat and drink, and then catch a flight back to Brussels for just 18 euros.
Thank you so much for the kind words!!!!! Banja Luka's such a cool town. It's not huge like some of the other cities we've visited, which is something we loved about it. The people were so kind & friendly to us. Just about everywhere we went, people were striking up conversation with us & what brought us to BL. We were like "cheap flights with Ryanair!!"🤣 Hopefully this video inspires more people to find & book that flight because it's such a fun place. Thanks so much for watching!!!
I almost cried when you passed on Serbian food in favor of "Pizza". There are so many fantastic Serbian foods that will blow your mind that I hope the next time you have a chance to eat these foods - do it.
Ya know, Hannah & I have talked a ton about getting pizza rather than something more traditional & DEFINITELY regret it. We actually got a lot more traditional dishes while we were there but we just didn't get it on camera. We absolutely loved our week in BL though. It's got so much to see & enjoy, & the countryside is the next thing we're hoping to explore! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video!!
@@metabalcanico I don't want to get political but from my several visits there and being with my relatives, virtually no one thinks of themselves Bosnian or Bosniak. They identify as Republika Srbska from a state perspective and Serbian as an ethnic group. The link to the other federated part of Bosnia is very loose.
@@metabalcanico you know that everybody see everything as serbian in banja luka, it is in the serb republik in bh. if you think that this is bosnian for you it is ok, for me ne problem.
Hi Olja!!! We absolutely LOVED your city!! We literally talked last night about how much we missed Master Craft Brewery & walking through the market. I feel like it's a little hidden gem that people are no doubt going to love once they find it. Thank you so much for watching our vlog!!❤️
So glad to see you guys hopping around like before, Hannah is already doing much better. This is another place I have never visited and it looks beautiful! Now after seeing all that delicious food, I am hungry, what is so nice is that while sitting comfortably in my recliner, I can travel along and visit all these fantastic places!
We love to hear it Eddy!!! We went to Sarajevo & Mostar after this and you're going to quickly see why we loved Bosnia so much. THE. FOOD. MANNNN is it good!!!!
Oh wow, as you said earlier, this video did not disappoint! Beautiful.... and so clean! The food looked wonderful and the architecture is amazing! Happy to see that Hannah is getting around much better. Love your blooper reels! 😊
I know right???? I had no idea Bosnia would be this nice but it's blow our minds!! We're so glad we booked that flight to Banja Luka. Thank you so much for tuning in!!!❤️
Great choice!!!! You'll love Banja Luka, and just Bosnia in particular!! We just booked our listing on Airbnb. I've put the link to the listing in the description of the video so you can check it out!!! Thanks so much for watching!!!
You're going to love it Eric!! Bosnia's such a beautiful country. We're so thrilled we got to spend some time here and get to know it a little more in depth than most places we've visited. Thank you so much for watching!!!
Glad u guys liked it.My home town BUT unfortunately when the war started we came to London.My home is 3 min from the bridge There is sooo much to do there.Splav is a no no for famous CEVAPI but as tourist it's hard to know.Enjoy ur travels and be safe. Banja Luka Bosnia and Herzegovina
Thank you so much for watching our vlog!!! We wanted to try and do Banja Luka as much service as we could. We honestly really enjoyed our time there! Everyone was very nice to us & the food we had just about everywhere was delicious. We definitely want to come back and explore more!!!
We absolutely loved our time in BL!! It really has so much going for it. We can't wait to go back & visit more of the surrounding area because the countryside looked GORGEOUS!! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our vlog!!!😊
Thank you so much for the suggestion!!! I think that's one of our biggest regrets is that while we hit some of the bigger sites around Bosnia (i.e. Banja Luka, Sarajevo, & Mostar) I feel like we missed some of the really unique smaller towns. Just more incentive to return and spend more time there though!!! Thank you so much for watching!!!
Hey guys 💕. Such a great video. We are waiting for you guys this year to come back and enjoy even more. Super cool video and you guys are perfect couple
Love this town and the rural areas around. I would like to buy a house or even better an Apartment in this beautiful city. Which part of Banja Luka is the best for my project? Any recommend areas?
Hi, im british and dont speak the language in banja luka, im planning on flying there next year but im worried about the language barrier, are there people who speak english there or is learning the language a must?
Hi Brian!! You shouldn't have too much of an issue!! Everyone we spoke to was very kind & spoke at least some English. With our very basic knowledge of the local language & their pretty good basic English, we didn't have problems at all. We hope you enjoy BL because it's definitely got more character & charm than some people give it credit for!
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! We talk daily about how badly we miss the Balkans😂 we can’t wait to get back there! Thank you again so much for watching our video!!!
Great vid. Hope to visit BL someday in the not too distant future. It looks great. I've been to Sarajevo, Travnik, Mostar, Neum, Hutovo, Stolac, and Trebinje (oh...and the Tjentište war memorial), but Banja Luka and Jajce remind on my list! Thanks for posting. Btw, cevapi varies a bit from city to city. Banja Luka has its own style, for example, as does Travnik. Keep trying it wherever you go! :)
Thank you so much!! That whole region of the Balkans has so much history & beauty. We took a bus from Banja Luka to Donji Vakuf & it is without question the most beautiful bus ride we took all year. That whole region is stunning!!!
Great video guys. I'm planning a small Balkan trip to Bosnia as a base and then a quick trip to Dubrovnik in Croatia and then onto Montenegro and maybe Kosovo because it is nearby. I will visit Serbia on a separate trip.
That sounds like an awesome trip!!! The Balkans is such an underrated region of Europe & we had some of our favorite moments down there. You're going to have such a fun time exploring that whole region & we're so glad that our video was able to help you in some way!!!:)
Definitely! You'll be able to see pretty much the whole city in that timeframe, so you should absolutely check it out. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video Max!
In april, BL is propably the prettiest. 48hrs is just about enough to see everything you need to. I suggest walking around the city, going to Kastel fortress, checking out Vrbas river and obviously you need to check out our cuisine. Restaraunt are cheap and I suggest Kazamat, Mala stanica, Integra (14th floor) but any will do. You can also just drink coffiws around the town because thats what we do
I am Croatian, I was born in that city. I and all members of my family were mercilessly expelled by Serbian nationalists. Strangers will often be pleasantly surprised by the kindness. But there is one thing they don't know: Serbs have a folk proverb that reads: "Be nice, the man is a Frenchman." In the last fifty years, the Serbs brutally tortured and killed about fifty Catholic priests there. Banja Luka Bishop Franjo Komarica continued to help them and distribute humanitarian aid. That is why he was even nominated for the Nobel Prize. My family had an old oak forest stolen from my grandfather. There are a lot of crazy people out there. Don't walk alone at night.
I'm not totally sure! I know it gets cold but thankfully it's further south than most of Europe so I'd imagine it's not too terrible. Thanks so much for watching our vlog!!
the ferhat pasha mosque wasnt destroyed in the war.. war never reached banja luka. serbs just blew it up to eradicate even every muslim scent in that area..
Thank you so much for the kind words!! We had such a great visit to Banja Luka & everyone was incredibly kind to us. We look forward to visiting again!😊
I was tricked in Bosnia in Jajce -Autoland Jajce - street Dalmatinskih brigada 1 for 1200 Marks/600€ so you better watch out in Bosnia! I write this becouse Police tok side of these people so I didnt had a chanse. Bosnia doesn't goes forward with a reason. These people have no respect at all.
i'm Italian but my wife is from Banja Luka. It's one of the most beautiful and relaxing place in the world. I really love this city! I come back whenever I can!!!
