Bosnia and Herzegovina is a small state in Europe, located on the Balkan Peninsula. The country borders on Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro. Due to the access to the Adriatic Sea, the mountainous landscape and many natural beauties, tourism is highly developed here.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Information about the country appears for the first time in the X century AD. Thanks to this, such ancient cities of the named state can boast of ancient architecture. Unfortunately, many historical monuments were lost during the hostilities of the 20th century.
The capital of the state is the ancient city of Sarajevo, which was founded in the middle of the XIII century. And before the last war, one could see many sights here: narrow streets, roads paved with stone, many temples and mosques. But during the hostilities, the city was badly damaged, and it needed reconstruction. Sarajevo is now ready to welcome tourists and visitors back to the country.
You should definitely visit one of the magical cities - Yajce, which was the capital of the country until the 15th century, as well as other equally interesting places - Mostar, Blagaj, Trebin. Don't forget about the waterfalls in Kravice.
