10 reasons to visit Bosnia and Herzegovina
Many people are aware of the conflict that took place here back in the 1990s, but 20 years on, the country is one of Europe's most exciting destinations.
Historic Towns
While it's easy to spend days, if not weeks, exploring Sarajevo, it's worth getting out of the capital to explore other towns.
Mostar is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most spectacular cities, with prime Ottoman-era architecture and its famous Stari Most (Old Bridge).
The bridge was bombed in the Croat-Bosniak War in 1993, but has since been reconstructed.
Today, the bridge is 24 meters high at its apex and it is a rite of passage for young dudes to dive off into the River Neretva below.
Also worth a visit is southern Herzegovina's Ottoman-era Pocitelj, near Croatia.
Jajce in northwest Bosnia is a stunning hilltop town crowned by a medieval fortress with a dramatic waterfall cascading at its base.
