Country

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina is the heart-shaped land of the Balkans, a place where East meets West. Ottoman mosques stand next to Austro-Hungarian buildings. The scars of the 1990s war are still visible, but the country has moved forward with resilience and warmth. The nature—emerald rivers and waterfalls—is stunning.
