Višegradse is located in the extreme east of Republika Srpska, 16 km from the border with Serbia. With the recent renovation of the tourist railway, as well as the construction of the Andrićgrad complex, Višegrad is becoming an attractive tourist destination. On the way to Višegrad, there is also the oldest Orthodox monastery in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Dobrun monastery from the 14th century.
Andrićgradje was created as an idea of prof. Kusturice about the medieval stone town inspired by the works and characters of the Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić. It is actually a vision of what Visegrad could have looked like if the Renaissance and other historical periods had not bypassed it. The famous bridge over the Drina in Višegrad is the endowment of Grand Vizier Mehmed Pasha Sokolović. The bridge was built in the period from 1571 to 1577.
