The Best Places to Visit in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Travnik
- The charming mid-sized town of Travnik does an excellent job of striking a balance between its exciting past as the capital and stronghold of the former viziers of this old Ottoman sub-region and modern adventure sports and outdoorsy draws.
- The Lasva River, which meanders through the central mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina, bisects Travnik.
- Two Ottoman clock towers, the only ones in the nation, a charming 15th-century old town centre, and an odd assortment of traditional eastern-style buildings and monuments represent the first aspect.
- The second feature is located on the horizon slopes of Vlasic Mountain, which is now a popular skiing, Nordic walking, and hiking destination in Bosnia.
Jahorina
- Jahorina is a popular destination for winter sports enthusiasts and summer hikers alike because it is home to Bosnia's most well-known ski area and was once the site of the Winter Olympics.
- With no less than ten chairs and a planned gondola that will serve 30 kilometres of groomed alpine runs, it is only natural that the lifts and pistes here take centre stage for most visitors.
- The charming town of Pale, which beckons from the valley below, as well as the nearby hunting lodges and ancient wonders of the Orlovaca cave system, prove that Jahorina is not just for when it snows.
Sarajevo
- Sarajevo has lost its former reputation as a devastated war zone and is now a bustling, bubbling, and surprising European capital speeding headlong into the modern era.
- Although the city's districts still have memorials to the dead and missing from the turbulent conflicts of the 1990s, there is undoubtedly a newfound confidence and panache coursing through the central streets that embodies absolute defiance of the atrocities of War.
- Imagine gigantic mosques engulfing outdoor beer gardens; delectable Turkic eateries strewed across fascinating bazaars, lovely city parks, and arching stone bridges, all complemented by cutting-edge art museums, jazz festivals, and more!

Trebinje
- Trebinje, a medley of elegant Ottoman rises and authentic eastern facades built primarily in the 18th century, is one of the true gems of the Republika Srpska side of Bosnia Herzegovina.
- The Trebisnjica River, which meanders through the centre of the city's old district, reflects it magnificently in its waters.
- On the city's outskirts, you can also see the charming Arslanagic bridge with its arched design, and on the ridges above is a stunning Serbian Orthodox cathedral.
- The crumbling ruins of the Klobuk fortress on the hill, which provide panoramic views of the Trebisnjica River valley, should also be scaled by tourists.
Stolac
- Stolac, surrounded by the grass-green and jagged ridges of the Herzegovina Humina, is the most beautiful town in the nation.
- Layer upon layer of distinctive architectural and cultural heritage are fused within the area's charming old heart, ranging from the elegant Austro-Hungarian Baroque style to the crumbling remains of the Roman city of Diluntum that once stood here in the third century.
- Then there are the eerie gravestones of the Radimlja cemetery on the outskirts of the town, as well as the charming riparian sections of the Bregava River with their accompanying clicking wooden watermills and genuine stone bridges.

Bosnia and Herzegovina: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
Bosanski Lonac
#Food
- The phrase "each day one should eat something with a spoon" is the Balkan and Bosnian equivalent of the proverb "an apple a day."
- The widespread consumption of soups and stews, which frequently appear at the beginning of a meal, is supported by this deeply ingrained belief.
- One such cherished stew is called Bosanski lonac, also known as Bosnian pot, after the kind of clay pot it was traditionally prepared in.
- It consists of one or two types of meat (lamb and veal, for instance), as well as many vegetables (carrots, onion, Romano beans, tomatoes, potatoes, and more), all of which are simmered for several hours on low heat.
- The dish, created by miners because Bosnia was a mining nation, is somewhat symbolic of Bosnia's past, present, and future.
Teleća Čorba (Veal Stew)
#Food
- Another well-liked dish is telea orba, a veal stew.
- Generally speaking, orbas are lighter than stews but thicker than soups.
- Most people prefer Telea Orba because it is a hearty stew, and veal is widely consumed in the area.
- It is made of beef chunks, potatoes, and carrots that have all been cooked together for a long time in a big pot.
- These stew dishes are challenging to reproduce in smaller quantities because they are typically prepared for the masses (similar to the food prepared in the army).
- This is why a neighbourhood dive bar is typically where you can find the best veal stew.
Ružice (Little Roses)
#Food
- The region's most well-known dessert is unquestionably baklava.
- But pay attention to a comparable, prettier treat known as ruice (little roses) or ul-pita (rose pie).
- The same ingredients used to make Bosnian baklava, including phyllo dough, walnuts, simple syrup, and lemon, are also used to make ruche.
- Ruice is layered differently because it is rolled up and cut perpendicularly.
Fashion

- Although shopping is not very popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there are some exciting places to find handmade goods like carpets, woodcarvings, ceramics, brass coffee pots, embroidery, tapestries, wool, wines, and leather.
- Towns and cities frequently host markets and fairs where various artisans sell their creations.
- Besides jewellery, clothing, and souvenirs, fresh and cooked food is available everywhere. Visoko, a town in central Bosnia, is well known for its fine leathercraft.
- Although cities have sizable malls and shopping centres, browsing bazaars and boutique stores are more enjoyable.
- Shopping for trinkets and regional goods is enjoyable in Sarajevo's souk neighbourhood.
- In the capital, close to the Emperor's mosque, there is a well-known shoemaker named Andar who sells handmade sandals and shoes.
- A fair trade shop called BHcrafts, which carries handmade goods like accessories, clothing, and home decor, is located next to the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque.
- In most markets, haggling is acceptable, and if you are a foreigner, be prepared for inflated prices. Bringing a Bosnian from the area to assist in negotiating a better deal
VODENA OAZA

- Located in southern Bosnia, one of the best aqua parks is here to welcome you. Natural beauty and rocky terrain surround a 600m2 pool with a distinctive design.
