Going off the beaten track for your next travel to Europe? Looking for untouched nature and thrilling adventures? Wondering what it looks like when East meets West? Craving succulent new dishes? Wishing to meet friendly locals instead of floods of tourists? Discover Bosnia & Herzegovina – Europe's last undiscovered gem.
Compared to other areas of Europe and neighbouring Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina remains calm on the tourist front. It is relatively untouristy, guaranteeing a unique experience in one of Europe’s most exciting destinations.
This heart-shaped country will leave you speechless and amazed by its stunning landscapes - soaring mountains, centuries-old forests, lush valleys, crystal-clear rivers, deep green lakes and gushing waterfalls. It will invite you to go for rafting and canoeing, hiking and taking long walks.
Bosnia & Herzegovina is in the heart of one of Europe’s most unexplored and wildest mountain ranges – the central Dinaric Alps. No wonder it is a lure for adventures, those who want to feel the adrenaline but also enjoy the areas that leave no one indifferent.
A melting pot of many different cultures, a bridge between the East and the West – this is a brief cultural and historical background. A traveller’s experience is like none other: from Roman times to the Ottoman period, to the Austro-Hungarian empire and the Yugoslavian era.
Perhaps the country's greatest asset is the wonderful hospitality of the Bosnian people, along with traditional Bosnian coffee and the irresistible ćevapi (grilled minced meat).
Travelling across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe's last undiscovered gem, it is impossible not to fall in love with landscapes, tastes and people. And when you leave, they will remain in your heart forever.
