Take a breath in Bosnia and Herzegovina



Buna Springs

Dervish House in Buna Springs is one of the most visited places in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a beautiful mixture of natural beauty and architecture.



Bjelašnica Mountain

Bjelasnica, a mountain in Central Bosnia to south-west of the capital Sarajevo, has a popular ski resort. During the Winter Olympics in 1984, the mountain hosted the men’s alpine skiing. Some areas are still at risk of unexploded mines, but it’s safe if you stick to the tourist trails.



River Una

Hidden inside a natural border between Croatia and Bosnia is a National Park named after the River Una, another spectacular waterfall. If you’re brave enough, you can go river rafting here, too.



Drina River

Visegrad’s UNESCO-listed Ottoman bridge over the Drina River was designed by one of the greatest architects of the time and is a major tourist attraction in Bosnia.



Mostar

Known for the emerald green River Neretva and the iconic Stari Most, Mostar is one of the most picturesque UNESCO-listed old towns in the world. You won’t want to miss a perfect photograph like this, especially during the summer. You’ll also get to see brave men diving off this bridge into the cool water below.

Kupres

Kupres is an ideal place to enjoy winter sports and to go paragliding in the summer. A range of trails makes hiking in this picturesque landscape a must.




Brcko

Brcko District is somewhat unique with the title of Europe’s only self-governing free city. Sitting on the banks of the River Sava with Croatia to the north, Brcko hasn’t become a victim of segregation. Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats live side by side in this little-explored destination. Walking along Trg Mladih, the main street is lined with colourful Hapsburg architecture and cafes; you’ll get a feeling for Brcko’s soul. Other highlights include the orange and yellow Gradska Vijecnic, which is a government building on Bulevar Mira 1.
