Goražde, Administrative town in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Goražde is a town that stretches along both sides of the Drina and sits in a valley in eastern Bosnia. The settlement pattern follows the river, with houses and buildings spread across both banks.
The town is first documented in 1379 as a trading settlement in medieval Bosnia. Later, under Ottoman rule, it became an important junction for trade routes connecting the region.
The town became a center of printing and learning from the 16th century onward in the region. This role shaped how locals saw their community as a place of knowledge and exchange.
The town is well connected to surrounding areas by road, and there are regular bus services to larger cities nearby. Visitors should expect some hilly terrain along the river paths and should wear proper footwear.
The town was a center for early book production, with one of the region's first printing operations starting in the early 16th century. This legacy makes it a noteworthy place in the history of publishing in southeastern Europe.
