Of its bridges, the most famous is the old bridge in Visegrad, the endowment of Sokollu Mehmed Pasha (Mehmed paša Sokolović), built in 1571. Before you see the Visegrad Bridge, you should read the book "Bridge over Drina" by Ivo Andric. You will fall in love with the bridge, which is the main character of the book. The book is the main reason for many people when deciding to visit  Visegrad.

There is a beautiful summer terrace near the bridge, and this is the main tourist spot in the town. The terrace has a great view over the bridge. The best way to exploring the bridge is to take a ride in one of the tourist boats, so you can enjoy the Drina river at the same time.
