Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in the west side of the Balkan Peninsula. Surrounded by Croatia from the north, west and south-west, Serbia from the east and Monte Negro from the south-east, the country spreads over the 51,129 square kilometres. Based on the latest information available, total population amounts to approximately 4 million people. Bosnia and Herzegovina can be geographically and historically divided into two regions: north region called “Bosnia” and south region known as “Herzegovina”.
The capital of the country is Sarajevo. Other important cities, in respect of natural and historical heritage, are Mostar, Banja Luka, Bihac, Tuzla and Zenica which are also regional centres.
A rich historical heritage is not the only thing that Bosnia and Herzegovina can offer. A small country such as B&H is well known for its beautiful landscapes. The amazing thing about B&H is that in only three hours drive you can ski in the mountains and swim in the Adriatic Sea. That is exactly what makes it a perfect destination for your vacation. The name Bosna comes from the old word “bosana” which means water that is abounded Bosnian resource. Numerous rivers have carved deep canyons in central Dinaric Alps that spread along the country. These mountains have hosted XIV Olympic Games that took place in 1984 in Sarajevo. Therefore, we invite you to come and explore by yourself this yet undiscovered pearl of Europe. We strongly believe that this journey will stay in your best memories forever.
