Sarajevo was the first city in Europe to have a full-time electric tram network, installed in 1885.
The Old Bridge (Stari Most) in Mostar was built in 1566 and rebuilt after its destruction in the 1990s war.
Sarajevo's mix of Ottoman bazaars and Austro-Hungarian architecture is captivating.
- A traveler on visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of Europe's most compelling and complex destinations, where Sarajevo's East-meets-West atmosphere blends Ottoman bazaars with Austro-Hungarian cafes, and Mostar's iconic Old Bridge arches dramatically over the emerald Neretva River. The country's turbulent recent history adds emotional depth to any visit, while its stunning natural beauty, including the Una and Kravice waterfalls and verdant mountain landscapes, remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism. Authentic Bosnian coffee culture, incredibly affordable prices, and heartfelt hospitality make this a must-visit Balkan destination.
