 This is evident from various tourist packages that prioritize visits to this park and the lookout, placing them high on the list of sites and landmarks that should not be missed.

“I received one such brochure about city tours in Republika Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina, where Banja Luka, of course, stands out as a key destination. Among the attractions listed to visit are the new city park, the lookout, promenades, and more. This is what we dreamed of and aspired to achieve. Our vision in this regard has now been fulfilled,” stated the Mayor of Banja Luka, Draško Stanivuković.

The newly opened city park, featuring a lake, has quickly become a major attraction, significantly enriching Banja Luka’s tourism offer.

“With its vast area, walking paths, and natural beauty, the park provides an ideal spot for relaxation and enjoyment, both for locals and tourists. As the largest park in the city, it offers a new space for recreation, outdoor events, and an excellent opportunity for visitors to experience the natural beauty of Banja Luka in a new way,” said the Banja Luka Tourism Organization, inviting everyone to plan a visit to the city on the Vrbas River and enjoy this unique natural setting.

The best view of the city can now be enjoyed from the new lookout on Banj Hill, which has been open since the end of August this year.

Not only does this new addition offer tourists a picturesque viewpoint, but it also serves as a delightful spot for residents and outdoor enthusiasts who frequently visit Banj Hill.
