Timeline
15:49
Grab a coffee or a quick bite. Since there are no specific food shops listed in the immediate context, find a local café near the bridge entrance and enjoy a drink while the afternoon light is still bright. Check opening hours for your chosen spot.
16:24
Position yourself on the Roman Bridge or the nearby bank. Face west-southwest. The carved stone of the bridge, built between 1530 and 1550, will catch the last warm rays of the day.
16:34
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW at 16:34. The light on the Bosna River and the historic stone structure will be at its peak.
17:04
Stay for the blue hour. The bridge and the river bank remain open 24/7. Take a slow walk along the Bosna half-way between Ilidza and the Bosna spring as the light fades.
Local tip
The bridge is free and open 24/7. If you want to eat or drink, you must find a local establishment near the bridge yourself as none are listed in the immediate data.
