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).
