The most rewarding countries to visit are the ones that do not often make big travel lists because they are largely untouched, which makes them authentic, traditional and cultural. Bosnia and Herzegovina is one such country to explore when you are vacationing Europe and despite its troubled history, it has plenty of fun things to offer. Some of these are listed as follows:
Enjoy the history in Sarajevo
Even though the city is a small one, Sarajevo has had a turbulent history. At every turn, you will encounter some part of its history, whether it is the ‘Tunnel of Hope’, which linked it to the outside world when it was under siege in the Yugoslav wars, or the mosques dating back to the Ottoman period.
Ski on affordable slopes
Most of the traditional Alpine slopes in Europe are massively over-priced and overcrowded, which makes the ones in Bosnia an affordable alternative. The Dinaric Alps have five main resorts and they offer something to skiers of different levels. You can choose the one that suits your needs and have a fun time.
Go rafting a the Tara Canyon
One of the deepest and longest canyons in the world, Tara Canyon is a must-visit when you are traveling to Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are more than 80 caves, pebble and sand beaches as well as high cliffs. If you are interested in white water rafting, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers great opportunities.
Check out Mostar’s famous bridge
Mostar is the largest city in Herzegovina and quite enchanting for that matter. It is renowned for its stone, arched bridge named Stari Most that had been constructed in the 16th century. Local pane stone has been used for its construction and it is a popular spot for jumping amongst divers who are brave enough.
