Višegrad is located in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), on the banks of the Drina River, near the Serbian border. The city is famous for the novel "The Bridge on the Drina" by Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić.
Visegrad's most famous landmark is the Mehmet Pasha Sokolović Bridge, built in the 16th century. The bridge, designed by the famous Ottoman architect Heenan, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2007 and is an outstanding example of Ottoman architectural engineering.
In addition to the ancient bridge, Višegrad is also home to the cultural neighborhood of Andrićgrad - a stone city built by director Emir Kusturica that combines Ottoman, Byzantine and Serbian architectural styles. The city is surrounded by beautiful mountains, ideal for hiking and nature adventures.
Visegrad is located on the main transportation route connecting Sarajevo and Belgrade, about 100 kilometers from Sarajevo. Its unique historical background and natural beauty make it an important cultural and tourist destination in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
