Coming to Doboj for the Doboj Open? Here's What You Need to Know

If you're coming to Doboj for the Doboj Open, here's some good news: the tournament takes place right in town. Tennis Club Doboj sits close to the centre, so accommodation, restaurants, cafes, and shops are all within walking distance.

Whether you're a player, a coach, a family member, or just there to watch, you can spend several days in Doboj without needing a car at all.

What Is the Doboj Open?

The Doboj Open is an international tennis tournament organised by Tennis Club Doboj.

The best known event is the senior ITF World Tennis Tour M15 tournament, which counts toward ATP ranking points and draws young professional players from across Europe. Alongside it, the club also runs an international junior ITF J30 tournament, plus other international events throughout the year.

Thanks to these tournaments, Doboj has become one of the more notable stops on the tennis map of Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent years.

Where Is the Tournament Played?

The Doboj Open is played at Tennis Club Doboj, on Nikole Pašića 57A.

The club has a good number of clay courts, including a central court with stands for spectators. It's only a few minutes' walk from the centre, so between matches you can easily head out for lunch, coffee, or a short break.

When Should You Book Accommodation?

If you're planning to come for the Doboj Open, it's worth booking as soon as the tournament dates are announced.

During tournament week, the town fills up with players, coaches, family members, umpires, and organisers, so there's less accommodation to go around than during the rest of the year.

Looking for Accommodation Near the Courts?

If you're coming for the tournament, you probably want somewhere you can walk to.

Cik-Cak Apartments are just 3 to 4 minutes on foot from Tennis Club Doboj, so there's no need to drive or look for parking near the courts every day.

Both apartments have self check-in, which is handy if you arrive late in the evening or after a long trip, and a kitchen comes in useful if you want to make breakfast or a light meal between matches.

If you're travelling as a family or a team, the apartment and studio are at the same address, so you can fit up to six people just steps from the courts.

Where to Eat Between Matches?

The centre of town is a few minutes' walk away, with plenty of options for a quick lunch or a proper meal.

What to Do When You Don't Have a Match?

If you've got a few hours free, it's a good chance to see the town.

The main sight is Gradina Fortress, which has the best view over Doboj. From there, you can walk through the centre, grab a coffee, or have lunch at one of the local restaurants.

A single day is enough to see the town, which is exactly how a lot of tournament visitors spend their free time.

How far are Cik-Cak Apartments from the courts?

About 3 to 4 minutes on foot, making them one of the closest places to stay to Tennis Club Doboj.

Do I need a car?

No. If you're staying in or near the centre, the courts, restaurants, and most of the town's amenities are all within walking distance.

Is it worth staying an extra day after the tournament?

If you have the time, yes. Doboj can be seen in a day, and if you're travelling with family, Naša Maša, a day-trip spot just outside town, is worth a visit.
