Quality of life
A city of culture, plane trees and sun — with a new hospital, universities and the lifestyle people aspire to.
A pleasant place to live and work
A city centre built in Mediterranean style, sixteen century-old plane trees on the square, the Old Town — Kastel, the Arslanagić Bridge and the Herzegovinian Gračanica create an atmosphere that attracts visitors from around the world.
Trebinje is a “city of culture” — the legacy of poet Jovan Dučić — with the Trebinje Summer Festival, museums, galleries, legacies and many events from April to October.
