Jajce tours and things to do

Spray hangs in the air where the Pliva meets the Vrbas, wooden mills turn above clear channels, and blue lakes sit in a green valley a few minutes from town.

Top things to do in Jajce

Top story from Jajce
Start at the viewpoint where the town waterfall drops into the Vrbas and watch the light catch the spray. Walk cobbled lanes to the city walls, then drive a few minutes to the lakes where footbridges reach the wooden mills and trout hold in the channels.

Pause for grilled trout and fresh bread under trees. If you have time, add Travnik for a hilltop castle and Plava Voda, or loop to Ramsko Lake for quiet bays and chapel viewpoints. Read more in our Pliva Waterfall guide, our Travnik destination page and our Ramsko Lake page. A Jajce day moves from town energy to lake calm with short, easy transfers.
