Travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina


Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country with an amazing name (the origin of which can be read here). It keeps no less amazing things in itself and undoubtedly does not leave anyone indifferent. This is a country of contrasts, and after a little research I realized that the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirms this. The state, which was once under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and under Austria-Hungary, could not but absorb the features of both European and typically eastern. Now Bosnia and Herzegovina is a federal state that is inhabited by as many as three different people. Unfortunately, many, having heard the name of this beautiful country, wonder where is Bosnia and Herzegovina. I answer: this is a state located on the Balkan Peninsula, until 1992 it was part of Yugoslavia. Now it is an independent country, which consists of three parts: the Republika Srpska, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Brcko District. The first is inhabited mainly by Serbs, the second by Bosniaks and Croats, and the third by all three peoples.

Since Bosnia and Herzegovina is a rather big country, first you need to decide exactly which cities and parts you want to visit. This is the deciding factor in how to get to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Every time I think about my trip, I try to understand how it is more convenient to get to a particular city. Mostar is called the capital of southern Herzegovina. It is the second largest city in the country. The city boasts a rich history, reflected in the colorful appearance. The oldest district of the city of Kuyundzhiluk was heavily damaged during the civil war, but it still preserved ancient mosques, medieval structures, and cobbled streets. One of the main architectural monuments of Mostar is the Stari Most (“Old Bridge”), thrown across the Neretva River.

Ski resorts.
Partly Bosnia and Herzegovina is located on the mountain slopes, so there are also ski resorts here. For example, the resort "Jahorina", which is located 30 km from Sarajevo. The resort has a developed infrastructure and can offer lovers of alpine skiing a variety of routes, from easy to professional.
