    Restoran Brajlovic

    Grab a bite at Restoran Brajlovic before the crowds arrive. The riverside setting is calm this early, and their cevapcici is a reliable local favourite. The 10-minute walk from the thermal area is pleasant in the late afternoon air.

  2. 17:53

    Ilidza Thermal Riviera

    Stroll back toward Ilidza Thermal Riviera. You have time to find a quiet spot near the outdoor pools or walk along the edge of the water as the sky shifts from blue to orange. The sulphur-rich water steams gently in the cooling air.

  3. 18:03

    Ilidza Thermal Riviera

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The light fades quickly here, so keep your eyes on the horizon. The transition from day to evening is sharp and clear.

  4. 18:33

    Restoran Brajlovic

    Head back to Restoran Brajlovic for dinner. The restaurant is open late, making it easy to stay and enjoy a full meal under the lights after the dark has fully fallen.

Local tip

The walk between the thermal area and the restaurant takes about 10 minutes. Keep your pace steady if you want to catch the best light at the water's edge before heading back for food.
