- Stari Grad (Old Town / Bihac Fortress) — Ruined medieval walls and towers above the Una; the views down into the river canyon are worth the climb, and the stones tell the city’s layered frontier history better than any plaque.
- Fethija Mosque — A striking Ottoman-era building that started life as a Gothic church; the mix of architectural styles and the quiet courtyard give a direct feel for Bihać’s multi-faith past.
- Museum of Una-Sana Canton (Muzej Unsko-Sanskog Kantona) — Compact, well-curated displays of archaeology, ethnography and local wartime history; good for getting the region’s story in a couple of hours without travel-bus crowds.
- Una riverfront promenade and bridges — The riverside is the city’s living room: cafes, fishermen, kids jumping into the water in summer and easy riverside

- Una riverfront promenade and bridges — The riverside is the city’s living room: cafes, fishermen, kids jumping into the water in summer and easy riverside walks that show how the Una shapes daily life here.
- Trg Krajine (City Square) and the local market — Central square energy, small bakeries and a weekday market where you can sample local cheese, smoked fish and talk to farmers — excellent people-watching and cheap eating.
- Catholic church in the old town (local parish church) — A focal point of town life and local ceremonies; even if you’re not religious, the iconography and choir-era music on Sundays give a sense of community continuity.
- Gradska galerija Bihać (City Art Gallery) — Small but lively gallery highlighting Bosnian and local Krajina artists; rotating shows are a quick way to connect with contemporary cultural voices from the city.
- Historic Jewish cemetery and heritage traces — Modest, respectfully preserved sites that point to the town’s once-diverse communities; a quiet place to reflect on the region’s multicultural layers.
- War memorials and remembrance sites — Several accessible memorials and cemeteries around town commemorate the 1990s conflict; they’re essential for understanding recent history and local memory.
- Ribarska / riverside neighborhoods and fish eateries — Narrow lanes, small family restaurants and riverside tables where locals eat fresh-caught fish; a sensory, everyday side of Bihać that feels more authentic than any guidebook photo.
