Top things to do in Višegrad

Top story from Višegrad
Begin on the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge and watch green water slip under the arches. Follow the riverside to Andrićgrad for stone streets and small galleries, then take a slow boat run to see the bridge and cliffs from the water.

If you have time, drive the valley to Dobrun Monastery for a quiet courtyard and frescoed walls, or link the day with viewpoints in Drina National Park. Read more in our Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge guide and our Drina National Park page.
