Trebinje has long been known as one of the most attractive tourist destinations in southern Republika Srpska, but it is also becoming an increasingly popular shopping destination for visitors from neighboring Montenegro and Croatia.
Many Montenegrins took advantage of the extended holiday weekend celebrating Njegoš Days to visit Trebinje. The city's streets, shops, and cafés were filled with visitors from Herceg Novi, Podgorica, Nikšić, and other Montenegrin towns.
Even the rainy weather did not discourage visitors from enjoying shopping, sightseeing, or a relaxing coffee beneath Trebinje's famous plane trees.
AFFORDABLE PRICES AND A WIDE SELECTION ATTRACT SHOPPERS
Supermarkets, grocery stores, and retail chains that are not available in Montenegro were particularly popular among visitors.
Lower prices and a wide range of products are among the main reasons why residents of neighboring countries regularly travel to Trebinje for shopping.
The increased number of visitors also boosted demand for accommodation, with many apartments fully booked during the extended weekend.
A SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Although the crowds occasionally inspire humorous comments among locals, Trebinje's shop owners, restaurant operators, and accommodation providers warmly welcome the growing number of visitors.
Once again, Trebinje proves that, alongside its natural beauty, Mediterranean charm, and rich tourist attractions, it has plenty to offer shopping enthusiasts as well.
