Bosnia and Herzegovina

Visoko

A historic royal town in the heart of Bosnia, set among green hills just outside Sarajevo.

Destination story

A place with its own rhythm.

Visoko lies in the Bosna river valley and was once one of the most important towns of the medieval Bosnian kingdom. Visočica hill above the town holds the remains of the old royal fortress, and Visoko is still known for its long tradition of leather craftsmanship and its relaxed, friendly town centre.

For WOFA participants, Visoko offers an authentic small-town festival atmosphere with Sarajevo close by. Groups can perform for a welcoming local audience and combine the festival with discoveries of Bosnian history, cuisine and culture.
