Tour overview
If you would like to discover one of the biggest and best-kept secrets of former Yugoslavia, you should certainly join us for our visit to Tito’s Bunker in Konjic on a day tour from Sarajevo.
Before exploring the Tito’s Bunker itself, we visit the Old Town of charming Konjic. We will talk about the symbol of Konjic – the Old Stone Bridge, which has been connecting the banks of the Neretva River since 1682.
Tito’s Bunker is the biggest nuclear shelter of former Yugoslavia. In case of a nuclear war, Tito, the former president of Yugoslavia and his closest associates were to be sheltered there. We are going to visit all the parts of this amazing bunker, whose size is definitely going to surprise you. From the president’s office, conference rooms, soldiers’ dormitories, up to gas storages and other specialised rooms, you will be amazed by this structure.

Itinerary
Departure from Sarajevo
Tito’s Bunker tour begins with an early-morning departure from Sarajevo toward Konjic, a picturesque town on the Neretva River. During the 1 hour 15 minute drive, the guide introduces you to the Cold War era and explains why Tito’s Bunker (ARK D-0) remained one of Yugoslavia’s most guarded military secrets for decades.
Arrival at Tito’s Bunker (ARK D-0)
Hidden deep beneath the mountains near Konjic, Tito’s Bunker is an extraordinary underground complex covering 6,500 m². Built between 1953 and 1979, it took 26 years to complete and cost $4.6 billion, making it one of the most expensive projects in the former Yugoslavia. Designed to survive a nuclear strike, it was meant to protect President Josip Broz Tito and his closest associates.
Walking through miles of tunnels and 12 connected sections, you’ll see command rooms, living quarters, communication centres, conference rooms, and even a functioning air-filtration system and water cistern that still work today. Your guide will reveal how the bunker operated under complete secrecy — construction workers were vetted, sworn to silence, and the entire project carried the highest security clearance in Yugoslavia.
Secrets of the Yugoslav Era
This part of the Tito’s Bunker tour focuses on its Cold War purpose and its fate after Tito died in 1980. Even during the breakup of Yugoslavia, the bunker was preserved thanks to officers who refused an order to destroy it in 1992. Today, Tito’s Bunker Konjic serves as a unique art and heritage space known as the Contemporary Art Biennial of ARK D-0, bringing together artists from Europe and beyond. You’ll have time to view installations that blend history, symbolism, and memory of the former Yugoslavia.
Exploring Konjic Town & Old Bridge
After leaving Tito’s secret bunker, the tour continues to Konjic city centre, a charming town surrounded by mountains and the Neretva River. The highlight is the Konjic Old Bridge, originally built in 1682 and destroyed during World War II — fully reconstructed in 2009 and now a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Your guide will share stories of Konjic’s rich Ottoman heritage and its connection to the famous wood-carving tradition for which the town is known.
Coffee or Lunch by the Neretva River
Enjoy some free time for coffee or a traditional Bosnian lunch in one of the restaurants along the riverbank. This is a great moment to relax and reflect on the morning experience inside Tito’s Bunker, one of Europe’s most fascinating Cold War sites.
Return to Sarajevo
After approximately six hours of exploration and learning, you’ll head back to Sarajevo. The Tito’s Bunker tour ends around 14:30, leaving you with a unique understanding of how Yugoslavia prepared for the unthinkable — and how its legacy still lives on in Konjic today.

The places we visited were very beautiful and truly reflected the unique characteristics of Bosnia. Ms. Arna was very helpful in assisting us to find good restaurants with reasonable prices, and she also helped us shop for daily necessities. In addition, we gained a lot of interesting historical knowledge from her. Although the tourist sites were very large, with Ms. Arna’s guidance it felt as though we had explored the entire area. She was also very flexible and understanding of our children’s wishes to spend extra time at certain locations. Overall, I confidently give this agency an 11/10.

I would highly recommend anyone reading this review to book their tours and excursions with this company. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
I would like to give a shout out to our tour drivers: Enis, Almeer, Taharek and Harris for keeping us safe on the road – especially on the days where it was extremely foggy in the evenings and visibility was zilch!
A special shout out to the knowledgable tour guides: Enis, Almeer, Vildan and Elma.
