Tajda

Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in Southeastern Europe on the Balkan Peninsula, is a captivating destination known for its rich historical tapestry and unrivaled natural beauty. Featured prominently in the country’s backdrop are the Dinaric Alps, providing a spectacular landscape of towering peaks, pristine lakes, and lush, verdant forests that promise endless opportunities for outdoor adventure. Traces of many civilizations from the Greeks, Romans, Ottomans to the Austro-Hungarians are evident in its diverse architecture, with highlights including the iconic Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Mostar, and the vibrant culture and war-honored history in the capital, Sarajevo. Bosnia and Herzegovina’s blend of Eastern and Western cultures is palpable in its enticing cuisine, colorful festivals, and an enthralling mixture of Orthodox and Islamic influences.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

I stayed in Sarajevo for 3 days and always felt safe, even at night. The people are welcoming and the city has a calm and relaxed atmosphere. I stayed in an apartment in the center, a perfect location to get around on foot: almost everything is within walking distance.

I recommend visiting Baščaršija (the old town), the Tunnel of Hope, the cable car that goes up Mount Trebević (amazing views), and simply getting lost among the streets full of history. The War Museum disappointed me a bit because of how it is maintained, so I would skip it. For food, I absolutely recommend Ćevabdžinica Željo and trying local desserts like baklava.

In general, it's a low-cost trip, perfect if you want to see a different city, full of culture and with a touching past. The itinerary was flexible, so no rushing, just relaxed exploration.
