The hub of the Republika Srpska region of Bosnia and Herzegovina is an intriguing place that's often overlooked by travellers who focus more on the enthralling histories of Sarajevo. Ravaged by war but rising from the ashes, it's a place that's now hurtling full force into the new Europe, having been named the continent's City of Sport in 2018 and gained two shiny monument reconstructions in the last 20 years.

The sights all cluster around a bend in the Vrbas River. They speak of the multicultural past of the town. One, the Ferhadija Mosque, soars overhead with gloriously restored minarets that hearken back to the 1500s. Another, the Christ the Saviour Cathedral, recalls the glory of Sofia with its zebra-stripe travertine frontage and gleaming Orthodox domes.

Around those swirls a town garnering a bit of a reputation for wild nightlife and gastronomy. Events are even held in the ancient Kastel Fortress during the summer – think open-air theatre and poetry readings. Elsewhere, you'll find underground shot bars where young folk and armchair philosophers argue politics and the rest over homebrew rakija.

Private charter flights to Banja Luka aren't just about seeing the city itself, though. They're also a gateway to the hardly-visited Bosanska Krajina, a vast land of forested hills and woods. It's emerging as an adventure mecca, with rafting on the rivers and hiking in the highlands aplenty.
