- In this Bosnia Travel Vlog, we take a bus from the town of Jajce to the city of Banja Luka. Banja Luka is the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the largest city of Republika Srpska.
The city of Banja Luka is a great value for money in Europe in 2022 because we were able to walk everywhere around the city and the food was affordable! These are good reasons you should go to Banja Luka in 2022! The monument and enjoying the hot springs was entirely free. This makes Banja Luka a great value for money in Europe in 2022! After watching, do you think you should go to Banja Luka in 2022?

Thank you for watching our Bosnia Travel Vlog!
Banja Luka felt like it was a different country compared to the previous cities we visited. What did you think?
@A. O. Ozbiljan krindz 😆
How so? Compared to the other cities in bosnia
You are the first to advise someone to bypass Banja Luka. Well done, experts.🤣
We are definitely not experts! We encourage everyone to go and form their own opinions. We prefered Sarajevo to Banja Luka🤷♂️
@@HaleyandZach Watch out, smart guy. Because of this video, we can ban you from Bosnia and Sarajevo. Mainly because in this video you are insinuating some inter-ethnic relations in BiH. And you are causing unrest among the population.
Banjaluka is a cool city, never had problem there. You should have hired a guide to take you around. The food is fantastic (pork and lamb meat on a spit, chevapi, pyeskavica) and people are friendly. It is not unusual that police asked you questions. You were walking around Muslim cemetery and taking photos. They are protecting all citizens and making sure there is no vandalism. Some extremists used to damage Muslim object after the war but this has subsided. I always found police friendly and helping me with information or directions.
We actually tried to hire a guide but only one we could find was over $200 so we couldn't do it :(
I stayed in Banja Luka three days and loved it. Some of the friendliest people at the Maciyntyre pub. The city market was wonderful and friendly and the cops were helpful and spoke English. I feel like you went here with prejudice against the place. Serbs are a friendly people but are different in mannerism than westerners and the Muslim’s and Croats of Bosnia.
Sadly you came to Banja Luka with prejudments, I was born and raised in Banja Luka. Banja Luka is a beautiful city, full of life, hospitallity and also friendly.
You should visit museum, learn something about our history, culture and not just looking for the mosques. Wishing you all the best and next time you came call me so we can arrange tourguide, free of charge.
Not just look for mosques ? They are free. Let them explore what they want to see you serb Fascist.
Banja Luka is the center of "republic of srpska" guilty for worst crimes since ww2, which has been improved by the internationall court. I understand that you have completley other view of evrything for what happen at 90s exactly as you have about russia and terrorist Putin today, but it will be interesting to se what USA and european union comming to do against you in the future for all those horrible things you done and the things you still doing today against us. Regards from UN soldier at 1994-1995....
I am coming on 24 March! Really want to visit one of the monuments Kozara National Park
Please can you advice a black lady to come there for studies?
@@clarawinner7437You are very welcome to Banja Luka. Most young people know English so you shouldn't have a problem navigating. Public transport is not that developed, so that may create some difficulties, but nothing major. Stuff is usually cheaper than EU, and night life is great in BL... I don't know what faculty you're in, usually older staff there struggles with English, but there should always be someone who'll help you... Feel free to ask anything else
Nije ruski alfabet vec srpski.Cirilica.Imamo dva alfabeta latinicu i cirilicu.Podjednako ih koristimo.Dolazite sa predrasudama??Pa nemojte onda.

Muslims in Banja Luka don't wear hijabs. You can see some girls who are going to school in mosque Ferhadija. They wear hijabs and the others don't.
maybe only 80+ wear it
thanks for showing us banja luka, i'd like to visit this summer.
Bro spent money just to drive to the city and hate on it lmao.
It seems like you wanted not to like the place ! Also spending $50 a day doesn’t get you much in Bali let alone in Banja Luka. You missed all the great places, things to do and food to eat.
It is one of my favourite places to visit
I saw this video for the first time and i just want to say that,if you ever visit again Banja Luka,feel free to message me.I will tell/show you the best places in the city...where you can try our tradition food and drinks,to feel our energy in this city.Especially on the weekend (summer time is the best for this ). :D I hope you guys enjoyed in our city ! Good luck !
Thank you! We love Bosnia and we want to come back!
Hi there.. I'm planning on a trip to Bosnia in the summer and a stop in Banja luka.. I'm wondering if there are any smaller towns and villages nearby the city worth to check out??? and where is THE place or restaurant to eat authentic food???? Thank you
Hey! I'm going to Banja Luka for a weekend on 21th, what can you recommend me for visiting/partying? Thanks for the help!
Hi. :) You should visit Krupa na Vrbasu or even better National park Kozara (30-40 min from the city).Also you can enjoy on our river with canoe/dajak during the summer.
Best places to eat authentic food:
1."Kod Muje" here you can try our most popular food "cevapi".
2."Mala Skadarlija" in this restaurant you can taste our authentic food.
3..Restaurant "Kazamat" - This is one of the oldest restaurants in our city and here you can taste different types of food.
If you need more infos for something else,just ask me.. ;)
@@victorretamalvera9054 Hello :) if you are going to just feel nights in our city,you should go to "Jova bar" and after that in night club "Cristal".
That cemetery was not there because of the war, they were always there. In Banja Luka we didn't have war but the rest of Bosnia yes. So don't thing that those people were killed, they died because they were old or sick
Countless Serbs, whole families and villages were mercilessly thrown into the pits and ravines of Bosnia by the Catholic Croatian fascists called the Ustasha during WWII. Such a beautiful place full of layers of bones that many never know about ....
Zivio jasenovac ! Za dom! opet če biti ne brini. 😉
Zdravo Daster
Policija vrsi redovnu kontrolu, kao sto su mene zaustavili u Kelnu dok sam bio na biciklu, to im je posao.
Republica Srpska is a Police state so no wonder that you got stopped by them,and most waiters and other people with similar jobs are "not frendly" because they do shity jobs they don't want to do..
Try getting stopped in the US 😂
Evo nas zaustavljaju i legitimisz,uveli policijski cas,provaljuju u stanove,haraju okolo..Policijska koliko i USA.
Police state lmao I live there and am a foreigner and never once had a problem with the police. Total bull shit
What nonsense, show respect and no one will touch you at all, and you will get respect. What if you come from a foreign country, you are a god?
@@zm5856 How were they shown respect as tourists? No respect at all. Even the waiters were rude to them, that sucks. You guys need to learn more about hospitality from your Bosniak neighbors. The ones you didn't throw into mass graves, that is.
Sta su vam napricali u Mostaru i Sarajevu pa ste tako neopusteni😄?!
They told them lays, muslims (bosniaks) portrayed themselfs as a victims, like allways do! Truth is not black and white, you can see that only in Hollywood movies! Thanks for visiting Banja Luka, hope you enjoyed it, see you again.
@@gtaprodukcija3593 They don't portray themselves as victims, they were literally the most affected by the war, unfortunately for you.
Otisli u gradove I rekli sta I'm se naj vise svida. Jesil ti dobro mala?
@@gtaprodukcija3593 Victim syndrom. 😄
@@gtaprodukcija3593 jealous too much of Sarajevo and Mostar, butthurt Chetnik? They are not dumb people, they can read about your genocidal nation and see your war criminals in Hague on YT crying like pussies.
I stayed with friends in Banja Luka for 3 days, it was really beautifull especially the churches, the hiking trails and the big monument were really nice. We had a negative encounter with someone who thought we were Americans. BUT the rest of the people we met were really nice and very curious about the fact that we chose Banja Luka as a destination to travel to.
Banjaluka is the capital of the Independent State of Croatia
Okay, I saw this video prior to coming to Banja Luka. 10 minutes since I arrived and I got stopped by the cops. They asked me for my ID and passport and I was like NO. They left afterwards. I've traveled 6 cities in Bosnia for the past 3 weeks, surreal that happened.
Don't let it get you down! It's still a nice place!
@@HaleyandZach Yea ive been treated really well by practically everyone and already made friends. It was just a 1 time thing. Still was so bizarre especially in the balkans where I hadn't experienced anything remotely close to that in my 3 months traveling
@@joser1853 They doing this because of president Dodikh who is on USA black list of huge economical crimes, waepon and drugs busines around the europe, russia and asia, and those officers are there to protect him and follow evreyone from "outside" who is not speaking "serbian". Officers diddn´t came/stop you because they knew that you were americans etc, they stop you because they got information from for exampel, busdrivers, taxidrivers, booking-places/hotells, restaurants and so on, they already had your pictures hours before they chose to stop you just to show that "here we are", this is how serbian old-school of terror works still today, and that is the reason why they are scared of USA/NATO and like russia where the things are to 99% the same.... Be aware my friends..
I am so sorry but they did nothing to you. It is normal because the city is not that big so they are just checking , nothing else. They asked this guy if he speaks our language and that was a bad experience? What they did to them? Nothing. They will do nothing, just curious. Let's not talk what police is doing in USA, ours are little lambs.
@@thanlater
The citizens in the usa are target 🎯 practice for police, thats a big difference.
Do not understeng they go to visit another countries than I have to wach howe they eat .Discasting?for sure is better then hot dog or hamburger?
The cop doesn’t even speak Serbian himself and he’s asking you 😂😂😂
Ordering Mexican food in Bosnia ???
We had to try it
Yeah I would be curious too.
Man u go to Bosnia with one of the best food of europe and u eat pizza and fish??? Wtf u should eat true Burek Cevapi Baklava
We spent over a month in Bosnia, we ate tons of burek cevap and baklava
Wellcome to western Serbia !

As a bosnian great views when driving in the bus. But I know that drive to Banja Luka was Death ha
Why death? It was beautiful!
@@HaleyandZach the ride has a lot of curves and it makes a lot of headache.
Yes very curvy but very good views!
During the war British NATO troops called the monument Yellow Zulu. It was the first time I came under fire 🇬🇧
Really, OMG you are hero .....LOL under fire in the middle of Banja Luka, you are the first one who got under fire in that area, congratulations. Did you survive or you have died..........
You missed a park thats Is next to a school ,,Dositej Obradović",you looked at the mosque ,a River that Is slso next to a park

I spent 2 months this January and February in Mostar in hotet first left from the train station.200 euro month ,or 25 euro night,I paid monthly.Many street dogs in Mostar.Night out area in bosnian side non exixstent,across the brodge in Croatian side different story.I liked croatian side,never relaxed in old town.just boring.I heard Banja Luka is famous with girls boys ration.Many girls here.I liked Serbian side of Sarajevo.Honest people.Last time i visited bosnia in 2009.I realised meat products is on pair with UK,Mostar got expensive,especialy dried sausages.croatian craft beer still £1 for a pint,foreign beer twice expensive.Many dull turkish guys in Sarajevo,didnt like Sarajevo,too muslim for me,like Leicester or Bradford.
25 euro a night? You got scammed! We paid less than that for a full apartment with kitchen balcony and nice view of the city.
@@HaleyandZach I spent 2 months in STUDENT HOTEL MOSTAR maby 20 euro night off season,then i got 1 month for 200 euro all included except food.Canteen downstairs 4-5 euro for a big plate of hot food.Now prices 36-42 euro per night because of July.
Zaustavio ih duster sto posto sto su gledali muslimansko groblje
Ma boli njih za grobljem,da su bila dva tipa umjesto sto je cura.Ispretresali bi oni njih dobro.
Im so glad you enjoyed Mostar my home 🥹🥹 I’m sorry about those cops in Banja Luka, they were so harsh like wow… it’s honestly a shame. I’ve never been to Banja Luka surprisingly as a Bosnian😂😂
So what cops did to them? Arrested them? Punish them in some kind of way?
@@thanlater Keep coping mate, it's not normal. Not even living in China as an obvious foreigner for many years was I ever stopped by the police.
@@generalmartok3990 it is mate! You don't know anything about pur small country or city. China is huuuuuge and our entire country is like a small vičlage in China. We had war here, we had many problems that Chinese people didn't have lately mate so deal with it or not. Nobody treated them bad or said something wrong.
@@thanlater Okay, so it is normal for YOU. Compared to most of the rest of the world, and especially other European countries, it is not normal. I would expect this in Iran or something.
@@generalmartok3990 It is normal for me because we don't have lots of foreigner here. This is not a popular place to visit because people still think that there is war here. Even if there is peace we still have problems between some ethnic groups, so yes it is normal for police to check who are the people who came here. You don't understand and I can't write you certain things here. So think like you want to think, just because you don't know our history
if someone ask you where are you from you must said United States Of America ., not only America looks really bad for some countries .
Cyrillic is actually from Bulgaria
It is indeed!
The Cyrillic script comes from the Greek alphabet, and Cyril and Methodius were Greeks. They introduce script to all Slavic nations, not only Bulgarians. Kind Regards
Лингвиста Вук Стефановић Караџић 1811. је уобличио српску ћирилицу са 30 знакова, веома једноставна: пиши како говориш, читај како је написано 🙂
Cyril and Methodius were not Bulgaria and they based it on what South Slavs of Thessaloniki were speaking.
If you don't like and respect the local people, in this case the Serbs, you shouldn't come to their country! You know that the Serbs and Americans have hostile relations so don't pretend as if someone invited you here or that anyone will miss you!
Don't know about a place until you go
@@HaleyandZach
Oh really? Why don't you visit Iran then? Is it maybe because you know that America and Iran are openly hostile to each other and you would feel like you're surrounded by the enemies there?
Serbian police was suspicious cause you walked through muslim part of city . Maybe they thought you are Serbs trying to do something there, there is big distance between christians (Serbs) and muslims (Bosnians) . We dont hang out with muslims and yours clouth was kinda "serbian" (style, colours) it happened to me few times ( Why you in this part of city? ) and I stoped to enter muslim parts because "safety".
Seljacina
Typical Serb from republika srpska... "We don't hang out with muslims"...
Probably prouldy said... because, in facts, they fight for that...
That's tells a lot about Bosnian war... Who had which objectives...
Who fight for what...
Not even one bomb land on Banjaluka, but every single mosque is leveled to the ground with explosives in one single night, even 600 years old ones, from the UNESCO heritage...
and u have "we don't hang out with muslims"...
On the other hand, Sarajevo was in the siege 1425 days by Serbs, eleven thousand people died, six hundred children are kiled, every day on average 329 mortal shells landed on the city...
And...
Not a single one church is demolished, not even touched...
U cannot hear "we don't hang out with Serbs"...
I have many friends who are Serbs, neighbours, working colleagues, etc...
That's Sarajevo !!!
@@sarajevo83 Literally the most absurd comment I’ve seen. I actually cannot imagine being as stupid as her. People like that are the reason Yugoslavia fell apart, she’s probably from some village surrounding lakstaši 😂😂😂

You mentioned that there some brand new mosques, you were right,all Banja Luka mosques were demolished 1992 by the Serbian extremists.
1993 u Maju .Srušena je dzamija dok je u isto vrijeme 150.000 Srba protjerano iz Sarajeva .
@@STASHYNSKYI
Lie, lie, lie...
Mosques were used to store weapons and ammunition in other parts of the country, and Bosniaks were sniping at Serbs and Croats from minarets.
Mosques are a symbol of Islamic oppression on the Christians, who were there long before the Ottomans arrived, and many mosques were made with parts from destroyed churches and monasteries in the first place.
@@STASHYNSKYI Uopste nisu protjerani tada i nisu uopste "protjerani" vec im je Krajisnik naredio da napuste Sarajevo 1996. godine i tada se desio egzodus dakle POSLIJE rata.

Very bad

It was before the War mostly muslim town but Serbs destroyed most of Mosque. Banja Luka ist one of most beautiful city in Bosnia,but unfortunatly too much Serbs Radikals(Russia supporters) there.
We did see a lot of pro Russia graffiti in Banja Luka
It was never a "mostly muslim" town, don't lie so blatantely. There were more Muslims and Croats before the war, just like there were more Serbs in Sarajevo or Mostar. War just drew those lines more sharply

@@filippetrovic4891 never mind :) we end a diskussion here :) all the best
Unfortunately, Banja Luka is full of nationalism against Bosnia, mainly because their political leadership has a secessionist agenda. As a city, it is really a nice place, but too bad the people are sorta hostile to non-Serb people who visit. That police experience was just one of the showcases of that soft repression their local government is displaying against non-Serbs. The fact he asks if you speak "Serbian language" as if you're doing something wrong for not speaking "their language" etc is the sort of cultural repression their police/govt are well known for, aside from participating in genocide in the 1990s.
Also, it's the only place outside of Russia and Serbia where you'll find pro-Putin decor and activism supporting war in Ukraine. Truly, they're on the wrong side of history and it definitely shows.
Yeah I know exactly what you’re talking about, when I was in Sarajevo radical Muslims threw stuff at me because I was Jewish and wore a yarmulke. And they told me that I was going to burn in hell. That doesn’t mean that I hate all Bosnians and that I judge them as a nation because of that! I was in Banja Luka and I was treated good by the Serbian people, and of course there’s gonna be people that are stupid everywhere you go but that doesn’t have to do with nationality that has to do with stupidity and ignorance. I loved staying in Sarajevo and I met allot of good muslim Bosnians, but I also loved staying in Banja Luka. Try to see with eyes unclouded by hate and you will have a more positive outlook on things! :)
@@stephan6083 Where did I hate anyone? I was stating facts. Also, what's "positive" about genocide denial and justification of war crimes? You can't put a spin on that my friend. How would you feel if I started denying Holcoaust and the president of my country called for destruction of Israel? I'm sure you'd be looking at me and the area I'm coming from with a "positive" set of eyes.
