FAQs

Is this suitable for families?

Yes. Park loops, calm bays, and thermal pools suit many ages. Keep paths short and bring water.

What should I wear and bring?

Swimwear for pools or marked bays, comfortable shoes for paths, a light layer for evening, and sun protection in summer.

Can I combine spa and culture?

Yes. Pair Ilidža with the Tunnel of Hope, Fojnica thermal time with a friary visit, or a Neum swim with Počitelj at sunset.

Do I need a car?
