About Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a small European country in the Balkans. Formerly part of Yugoslavia, it shares borders with Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and a small slice of the Adriatic Sea.
Although Bosnia and Herzegovina is primarily secular, you'll see plenty of evidence of its religious heritage in the mosques and cathedrals throughout the country.

Hot summers and cold winters mean travelers get the best of both worlds depending on when they visit the country. Sunbathers can visit the beaches along the Adriatic, while skiers can head up into the mountains to hit the slopes. The capital city, Sarajevo, was home to the 1984 Winter Olympics and many of the competition venues are still open to the public. Rafting, kayaking, canyoning, hiking, and canoeing are also popular activities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
You can't leave Bosnia and Herzegovina without trying the regional specialties, cevapi and burek. Wash them down with a bottle of domestic beer or a glass of local wine.
