Banja Slatina
Бања Слатина
An established spa resort about 12 km east of the city. Its hot springs were used as far back as Roman times, and it has a sanatorium and public swimming pools.
Banja Slatina lies in a valley northeast of Banja Luka. Its spring water is around 40°C, and the ancient Romans built baths here. Today the resort centers on a sanatorium, offering mineral-water pools, physiotherapy, and massage, with pine forests and walking paths all around. The facilities have an old-fashioned spa feel, making it a good choice for visitors who want to experience local hot spring culture or relax for half a day between city sights. It is about 20 minutes from the city by local bus or taxi.
