Sarajevo's Bascarsija (Old Town)

Sarajevo is a city in which even strangers can feel at home.

Indeed, few places on earth feature an Orthodox and a Catholic church, a mosque and a synagogue within easy walking distance of each other.

In Sarajevo, people have time for family and friends.

Bascarsija has been a trading and meeting place since the 15th century as caravans from Asia minor, Dubrovnik and the west met here to trade their wares.

Mostar's Stari Most (Old Bridge)

Old Bridge) is a 16th century Ottoman bridge in the city of Mostar, that crosses the river Neretva and connects two parts of the city.

The Old Bridge stood for 427 years, until it was destroyed 1993 during war

The bridge is Mostar's core and its reconstruction means that life is slowly but surely returning to normal in what is most certainly the most beautiful city in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Neum - the sunny Adriatic

Ideally located between Split and Dubrovnik and just a short distance to Mostar and Medugorje, Neum is an inexpensive holiday spot for fun and the sun.

The Adriatic Sea from Split to Dubrovnik is gorgeous, very clean, and includes 22km of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Blagaj-Buna The source of the Buna is one of the

largest and most beautiful in Europe.

It is the finest example of an underground karst river

This 16th century house/monastery was built for the Dervish cults and is still one of the most mystical places in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It is open to visitors all year round and serves cold drinks, tea and Turkish coffee in a beautiful garden overlooking the source of the River.

Bjelašnica and Igman

These two names are synonymous with the 1984 Winter Olympic Games

The war damage to the Bjelasnica and Igman Mountain ski centers has largely been repaired, and new hotels and apartments are built.
