Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Most Beautiful Places: Mostar, Blagai, Počitelj + Kravica Waterfall
Meriel Woolf
Quietly tucked away in southeast Europe Bosnia and Herzegovina tends to go under the radar for most travellers heading for a summer by the Mediterranean. Slowly rebuilding after the Bosnian-Serbian war that ended in 1995 the country is full of rich history, stunning scenery and small towns nestled in the untouched green landscape. The country's capital Sarajevo is also well worth a visit but as you head further south you will discover some of Europe's hidden gems.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is the perfect place for those on a budget and who wish to escape the well-walked tourist path of Croatia. You can see all these places within a day either alone or as part of a day tour and it is best to spend the night in Mostar or use it as a base for a two-night stay. The people of Bosnia and Herzegovina are reserved but friendly and it tends to be the younger generations who speak English and are more than willing to educate you on the county's rocky past and how they are working towards a brighter future putting the country back on the map for travel.
