Tuzla tours and things to do

Morning slips across Freedom Square, cafés set out early, and warm saltwater laps pale edges at the Pannonian Lakes in the centre of town. A short drive reaches a hilltop fortress and a calm countryside lake, so you can mix city time, views and water in one easy day.

Top things to do in Tuzla

Top story from Tuzla
Start with coffee on the square, then walk to the Pannonian Lakes where boardwalks cross clear shallows and families settle under shade.

Late morning, head towards Srebrenik for a steady climb to the gate and a wide look across the valley, then roll back towards Modrac Lake for a quiet hour by the shore.
