Step inside one of the former Yugoslavia's best-kept secrets — with someone who knows every corner of it. Our local guides will take you through the tunnels, along the runways, past the old barracks and right up to the iconic Douglas C-47 aircraft. The tour runs for around 2 hours and works equally well for solo travellers, families, groups and corporate team-building trips.
Most tours run for around 2 hours, though this can vary depending on the size of your group and how much time you want to spend at each location.

Tijekom ture obilaze se najzanimljivije lokacije kompleksa, uključujući piste, ulaze u tunele, ostatke vojne infrastrukture i poznati avion Douglas C-47.
Yes — when you're with a local guide and following their instructions on site. Željava is an abandoned military complex, and venturing into unknown or restricted areas on your own is not recommended.
You can, but you'd be missing out on most of what makes Željava special. A guide brings the place to life — the history, the construction secrets, the Cold War stories, the tunnel layout. Without one, it's just ruins. With one, it's an experience you won't forget.
Comfortable shoes are a must. Dress for the weather and bring a layer — the tunnels stay at around 10°C year-round. Pack some water and, if you like, a torch for the darker sections. Your phone or camera is more than enough for photos — Željava is endlessly photogenic.
The exact meeting point is confirmed when your booking goes through. We typically meet at an easy-to-find spot near the airbase, and you'll get clear directions for getting there by car.
Absolutely. We run tours for individuals, families, small groups, large groups, associations, companies and team-building programmes. If you're bringing a bigger group, we'd recommend booking your slot in advance.
Yes, kids tend to love it — especially if they're into history, aircraft, tunnels or anything a little out of the ordinary. Children need to be accompanied by an adult and should follow the guide's instructions throughout.
Željava is open year-round, but spring through autumn tends to be the most enjoyable time to visit. In summer, early morning or late afternoon slots are a good call to avoid the busiest periods.
