Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia’s very name, to the unacquainted, is synonymous with the civil war and sieges from 25 or more years ago. This has meant that much of Bosnia has remained an untouched tourist destination, with very few overseas visitors contemplating seeking out its various delights.

Straddling two vast historic empires to the east and west, the dramatic mountainous landscape and beguiling medieval cities and towns offer an intriguing glimpse into a melting pot of cultures.

Dwarfed by the success of its neighbours as a destination to explore, the two distinct regions of Bosnia to the northwest and Herzegovina to the southwest still have much to reveal to the outside world. They offer the visitor a compelling insight into a land which has seen turbulence, triumph, and transformation during every new embodiment of its compelling character.

Bosnia and Herzegovina are but one of 11 countries in the Balkan peninsula – a geographic area of Southeastern Europe encompassing some of Europe’s most overlooked countries. But, unsuspectingly, they are home to a wealth of fascinating cultural, historical, and ethical heritage that is enough to leave any visitor in awe.
