Things to do in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Visit the picturesque city of Mostar
Bask in the Bosnian beach
Mostar is home to one of the most popular attractions of the country that has been listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the Stari Most (Old bridge in English). Situated in the old town of Mostar the original bridge was built 427 years ago and destroyed in November 1993 by Croat forces. The current bridge was rebuilt to its exact specifications and opened in 2004. Built over a stunning turquoise river, the bridge is also the place for bridge diving, an annual event that is very popular. Whether you visit during day or night the only feature that changes of this charming city is its ambience. The entire old town is a good specimen of Islamic architecture that was prevalent during the Ottoman rule. Tour through the city’s cobblestone roads, shop at Turkish-inspired bazaars and climb a minaret to grab the best views in the entire city with nature, mountains and splendid architecture in one frame.
Being the only coastal town in the entire country hasn't made Neum into an expensive beach resort. In fact, everything is rather affordable and its location near the sea makes it one of the best places to eat delicious seafood dishes. The stretch of sea near Neum is the only thing dividing Bosnia and Herzegovina from Croatia. A cruise or boat trip will let you see some of the picturesque islands that dot the coast.
Observe the Yellow fortress at sunset
Trek the countryside and mountainside
Bosnia’s main city, Sarajevo, promises the best sunset scenes in the country. Climb up a hill, the higher the better and find a nice spot to sit down and drink in the beautiful views. A prominent landmark will be the captivating Yellow fortress that is perched on top of a hill. Wait for sunset time and you will see a magnificent view that is worthy of being published in a travel mag.
Undulating landscapes in far flung villages offer some of the best hiking and trekking trips. Make sure to stick to known paths as landmines still pose a risk. The Bjelasnica mountain offers rafting and hiking while the hills in the outskirts of Sarajevo is home to the ruins of the bobsled track that was used in the 1984 Winter Olympics. The countryside is also filled with wild herbs that fill the air with fragrant smells making the hike exciting for herb collectors too.
Chill off at Kravice Falls
A few kilometers south of Mostar is one of Bosnia’s most picturesque waterfalls. Cascading through verdant hills into pools of water surrounded by lush greenery, the air around is cool. Visiting during spring will let you view some spectacular landscapes and visiting it during summer will let you swim to the base of the falls.
