Where to stay in Hiseti
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
A bed in Hiseti puts the Museum of Republika Srpska, the Museum of Modern Art of Republika Srpska and the Republika Srpska Puppet Museum inside one short walk, which is the whole argument for the district. Banja Luka surrounds it. If you are here for the Saint Basil of Ostrog church or the Petar Kočić statue, transport barely enters the plan. Rooms sit among working streets.

About Hiseti
What are the main landmarks in Hiseti?
Three collections anchor Hiseti. Hiseti carries the Museum of Republika Srpska and the Museum of Modern Art of Republika Srpska, with the Republika Srpska Puppet Museum a third collection inside the same part of Banja Luka. Two churches join them, the Saint Basil of Ostrog church and the Храм Успења пресвете Богородице.
The Petar Kočić statue stands among them, and the district answers to Kočićev vijenac because of it.
What is the history of Hiseti?
Banja Luka kept no founding date for this quarter. Hiseti reaches the present as one of the named parts of Banja Luka in Bosnia and Herzegovina, carrying a second name, Kočićev vijenac, that it shares with the Petar Kočić statue. Institutions accumulated rather than industry, which is why three museums of Republika Srpska sit within a few blocks of one another.
Churches came too.
Where is Hiseti?
Hiseti covers a built-up stretch of Banja Luka in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a district of streets and institutions rather than open ground.
