Located in the heart of the Balkans, Bosnia-Herzegovina is an underexplored destination which offers an intriguing mixture of contrasts – Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture; mosques sharing neighborhoods with Catholic cathedrals, Orthodox churches, and synagogues; the youthful and lively capital Sarajevo and the quaint tradition-bound villages in the countryside.
Did we mention the great outdoors? The Central Dinaric Alps not far from Sarajevo are crisscrossed by hiking and biking trails which often follow ancient trading routes between mountain communities. For watersports lovers, the Tara River canyon ranks among Europe’s best for whitewater rafting and will pleasantly surprise you with its pristine wilderness and idyllic landscape.
