Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country in South
Eastern Europe steeped in history, with everything from Roman annexation and Slav invasion, to its inclusion in the Ottoman empire and World War II, playing a major role in its past. More recently, in the 1990s, this little heart-shaped state gained its independence from socialist
Yugoslavia. Its tumultuous background has furnished Bosnia and Herzegovina with a culturally diverse and surprisingly hospitable population.
Travelers can enjoy the warm and sunny Mediterranean climate of Neum, a resort town on the Adriatic coast, or venture out to the
fascinating Vetrenjica Caves. Other features include Medugorje, the Catholic pilgrimage site where visions of the
Virgin Mary were reported in the 1980s, and the Kravica Waterfalls near Ljubuski. Bosnia and Herzegovina also offers great city breaks, winter sports and eco-adventures.
As it proudly establishes itself as a new and exciting tourist destination, visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina will prove to be a remarkable and fulfilling vacation experience.
