The Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Višegrad, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is freely accessible year-round as a public thoroughfare, though spring through early autumn offers the most pleasant weather for a visit. Visitors can easily explore this historic Ottoman-era stone bridge independently, with no entrance fee required, and typically spend 30 minutes to an hour walking its length and enjoying the scenic views of the Drina River. While a solo visit is fulfilling, a local guide can enrich the experience with historical context, particularly regarding its significance from Ivo Andrić's famous novel, "The Bridge on the Drina." The bridge is generally walkable for most, but its ancient stone surface might present minor accessibility challenges for those with mobility issues. It's conveniently located to be combined with a visit to the nearby Andrićgrad cultural complex.
