Visit the town that suffered one of the greatest massacres after World War Two with this Srebrenica Day Trip. Discover the important and terrifying history of the northeast Bosnian town.
Srebrenica Day Trip
We'll meet at Zelenih Beretki 30 at 8 am and board a bus to Srebrenica, a town known for its great tragedy.
During the two-and-a-half-hour trip, we'll pass through Vlasenica, Milici and Bratunac, towns that suffered throughout both the Second World War and the Bosnian War.
On arrival in Srebrenica, a village between mountains, we'll find out about one of the bloodiest massacres in the history of Europe after the Second World War. It was here that the Srebrenica Genocide took place, in which more than 8000 ethnic Bosnian Muslims were killed in June 1995.
We'll visit the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial, located in Potočari. This is a memorial that honours the victims and was inaugurated in September 2003 by former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
As we tour the area we'll learn about the important moments during the massacre, such as the UN's ineffective role, the reasons that led the Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladić to order the attack and the consequences that this genocide had at an international level. Furthermore, you'll have the opportunity to meet a survivor of Srebrenica, who will tell us what happened in July 1995.
We'll also see the UN base Dutchbat and the Genocide Museum in Srebrenica. Then you'll have two hours of free time to enjoy a meal at your own leisure.
Before returning to Sarajevo, we'll reveal the secrets relating to Srebrenica's water, which is very beneficial for your health! The tour will end arriving at the starting point of the tour at 4 pm.
