Bosnia-Herzegovina shares its borders with Croatia to the north and west, Serbia to the east and Montenegro to the south.

For many tourists Bosnia-Herzegovina is a new and unexplored destination.
It is a melting pot of different cultures and a bridge between east and west.
From Roman times to the reign of the Bosnian Kings, from the Ottoman period, the Austro-Hungarian empire and the Yugoslavian era with Marshal Tito as its leader, the country has a colourful past and one that is now welcoming tourists from all over the world to rediscover its magic.

Cities such as Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka, Travnik, Doboj and Tuzla are charming and of great historical interest. If you have time there is a magical journey by car or train from Sarajevo to Mostar through the wild and beautiful canyon of the River Neretva. Dominating the landscape are inspiring mountains, untouched forests and wild rivers. The hospitality of the Bosnian people is also one of the country’s greatest assets, along with the traditional Bosnian coffee, the irresistible Cevapi, local wines and cakes.

Sarajevo

The capital city is often called the ‘European Jerusalem’ due to a centuries-long tradition of integration and tolerance. Defining the very heart of the city and within 500m of each other are a Muslim Mosque, a Catholic Cathedral, an Orthodox Church and a Jewish Synagogue.

Sarajevo lets you sample the past. Artisans in the oriental trade square, Bascarsija, still forge copper and brass and create filigree art. Enjoy the smell of charcoal-grilled cevapcici, taste delicious oriental sweets in Slatko Cose or relax in the outdoor cafés with a coffee prepared the Bosnian way.

The deep multi-layered and multi-faceted history of Sarajevo is best exemplified by the fact that the city is where the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Archduke Ferdinand in 1914 triggered the start of the First World War and yet the same city hosted the 14th Winter Olympics in 1984.

The Sarajevo of today is a far cry from many people’s imagination. Tourism is back and you are sure of a warm welcome from the inhabitants of this beautiful city.

Jahorina & Bjelasnica

Jahorina and Bjelasnica are mountain resorts, just 25 kilometres from Sarajevo, which became famous when they jointly hosted the 14th Winter Olympics in 1984. Today the resorts are busy ski centres in the winter and an outdoor enthusiast’s dream in the summer with hiking and biking popular pastimes.

Mostar

Mostar, whose world-famous Old Bridge, a single arch stone bridge rising some 50 metres above the Neretva River, has now been restored to its former glory. Alongside the bridge is the old part of town with its cobbled streets full of craft shops and boutiques.
