Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina carries a complicated history that’s visible everywhere, from Sarajevo’s mix of mosques, churches, and old bullet-scarred buildings to the rebuilt bridge in Mostar. It’s also cheap and dramatically beautiful, with green river canyons and mountains made for hiking or rafting. Locals are known for their hospitality, and the food leans heavily on grilled meat and strong coffee. Few travelers make it here, which is part of the appeal.
