Tuzla Walking Tour
Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Why Walk Tuzla
Tuzla is built on underground salt deposits that have been mined for at least a thousand years. The Pannonica salt lakes — Europe's only urban saltwater lakes — were created from mining cavities and are a popular summer destination. The old town has Ottoman-era houses on steep lanes, while the central square hosts one of the largest open-air cafes in the Balkans.
