About
クイックファクト: Perched on a sun-warmed hill, visitors pause at low stone parapets to watch paragliders drift over terracotta roofs and hear the city settle beneath them. A nightly cannon salute still rolls across the valley, a surprisingly vivid echo that recalls the fortress’s long history of defense.
ハイライト: Climb the steep path at noon and listen for the single brassy boom that has been fired from the old cannon to mark midday for generations, the blast rattling windowpanes below and making café cups jump on their saucers. At sunset locals unroll woven rugs, share jars of plum rakija and slices of warm pita, and watch as the last light sets dozens of red-tiled roofs and the dark spine of Trebević on fire while someone starts a soft sevdalinka that drifts down into the streets.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes, paths are uneven and some stone steps are steep and slippery after rain.
- Arrive 45 minutes before sunset for the best light and fewer tour groups, then use the eastern battlement for skyline photos.
- Bring water and a light jacket, hilltop breezes can be much cooler than the city below.
- Skip the busiest lower viewing platform on weekends, follow the narrow uphill path for quieter vantage points.
