Trebinje

Spend 1 day for the old town, market and river beach; add a second day for wine tasting or a short hike to the surrounding peaks.

Trebinje is a small riverside town in southern Herzegovina, 30 km from Dubrovnik. Its compact centre is walkable, with a historic bridge, market and nearby vineyards. One full day covers the main sights; a second day lets you sample local wines or hike the nearby forts.
