Banja Luka (Cyrillic: Бања Лука, pronounced [bǎɲa lǔːka]) or Banjaluka (Cyrillic: Бањалука) is the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the capital Sarajevo and is the largest city of the Republika Srpska entity. Traditionally, it has been the center of the Bosanska Krajina region, located in the northwestern part of the country. It is home of the University of Banja Luka, as well as numerous state and entity institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city lies on the River Vrbas and is well known in the countries of the former Yugoslavia for being full of tree-lined avenues, boulevards, gardens, and parks.^[3] According to the 2013 census the Settlement of Banja Luka has 150,997 inhabitants,^[2] while the City of Banja Luka, which represents Banja Luka's wider area (municipality), has 199,191 inhabitants.^[1]

Banja Luka covers some 96.2 km² (37.1 sq mi) of land in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the Vrbas River.

Banja Luka's downtown is at 163 m (534.78 ft) above sea level, surrounded by hills.

The source of the Vrbas River is about 90 km (56 mi) to the south. The tributary rivers Suturlija, Crkvena, and Vrbanja flow into the Vrbas at Banja Luka. Banja Luka has also a number of springs close by.

The area around Banja Luka is mostly woodland, although there are mountains a little further from the city. The city itself is built in the Banja Luka valley, which is located at the transition between high and low mountain areas. The most notable of these mountains are Manjača (1,214 meters), Čemernica (1,338 meters), and Tisovac. These are all part of the Dinaric Alpsmountain range.
