Bosnia and Herzegovina

With history gilded by the remnants of its Roman, Ottoman and Yugoslav past, modern Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the most exciting countries in the Balkans. The country is famous for winter tourism and spas, notwithstanding its breathtaking mountainous landscape. There are few places in the world where you’ll find ancient mosques co-existing with catholic shrines and Bosnia and Herzegovina is surely one of them.

Sarajevo, the capital city, is one of the most famous cities in the Balkans inviting you with its glitzy nightlife and cafe culture. In fact, there’s a bustling cafe in every nook and cranny in the city. Spend your time exploring Sarajevo's old town and picking up souvenirs and keepsakes such as  woodcarvings, handmade carpets, woolen goods, brass coffee-pots and wines.

Visoko and the central Bosnia region are well known for their leather work. The romantic town of Mostar, with its old bridge built on the Neretva River, is popular tourist destination in the country. Other popular places include Neum, one of the famous sea towns nestled on the Adriatic sea coast, the Bosnian Pyramid of The Sun, the city of Medjugorje, which is famous for Christian pilgrimage, and the Muslibegovic House, which showcases decor from the Ottoman period.

For the outdoorsy traveler, there are fantastic opportunities for river rafting, swimming and of course, skiing.
