Mindful meoweler tips

Traditional Food and Drink

Cats should try traditional Banja Luka dishes like ‘Ćevapi’ (grilled minced meat in the shape of small fingers) or ‘Sarma’ (rolled minced meat and rice, usually wrapped in pickled cabbage). Don’t forget to drink ‘Rakija’, a strong fruit brandy.

Kastel Fortress

This historic fortress provides excellent panoramic views of the city, on the banks of the Vrbas River. Cats will love exploring its towers and walls that have stood since the Roman times.

Orthodox Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

Visit the largest religious building in Banja Luka, the Orthodox Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Cats can admire the beautiful frescoes and icons inside this 19th-century cathedral.
