essential bosnia & herzegovina bucket list items by us

If you can’t decide where to go and what to do in Bosnia first, we’ll show you the way from the historic cities to the lush valleys and vineyards.

Visit the Old Town in Sarajevo

You'll be walking among some serious history when you take a walking tour of Sarajevo's Old Town with your Local Specialist by your side. We'll see the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, the largest mosque in the country, the Latin Bridge, where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914, and wander through the cobbled streets, colourful bazaars, and ancient squares.

Sarajevo

Learn about Bosnian history

Join your Local Specialist on your Sarajevo trip to learn more about Bosnia's history, including their fight for independence which ended in 1995. We'll explore centuries of religious history in the stunning mosques, synagogues and churches, and see the Eternal Flame and Sarajevo Roses dotted across the city as a reminder of the turmoil the city lived through.

Yellow Fortress Sarajevo

Admire Stari Most in Mostar

This medieval bridge looks like it's been plucked straight from a fairytale and we don’t blame you for spending hours here snapping the perfect picture. But it’s not just a pretty face and your Local Specialist will delve into the tragic story of how the bridge was destroyed during the Bosnian War and since restored to its former glory.

Create your own rules on a tailor made vacation to Bosnia & Herzegovina with our range of Optional Experiences. Choose from adventures like sharing dinner in a Sarajevo local's home and tasting Bosnian coffee at a 17th-century Ottoman House.

Journey to mystical Blagaj

We loved the scenic drive through valleys of fruit trees and Old Tsar vineyards to the gorgeous town of Blagaj - but the wonders didn't stop there. The town has the largest karst spring in Europe, plus it's filled with some of the most incredible historical monuments in Bosnia. We went exploring through a living museum inside a 17th-century Ottoman House and even got a taste of the famous Bosnian coffee.

Lunch with a view in Mostar Old Town

The Old Town is crammed full of traditional restaurants serving local delicacies and the famous Bosnian coffee. Grab one of the coveted terrace tables with gorgeous views of the river and the Stari Most and drink in those views, absolute bliss! On a sunny day you might also be lucky and spot some divers jumping off the bridge in action as you eat. Incredible experience!

Explore the Tunnel of Hope

Go back in time to the 1990s, when Sarajevo was under siege. The Sarajevo Tunnel of Hope was built as a lifeline to the city during its attack in the Bosnian War and our Local Specialist gave us a special personal insight into this dark time in Bosnia's history. Explore the museum and hear stories of how the citizens of Sarajevo survived for four years on the supplies smuggled through the tunnel.

what to eat & drink in bosnia & herzogovina

It’s not hard to get in the mood for some Bosnian food with everything from hot meat dumplings and grilled sausages to thick bean soups on the menu.

Cevapi

They say that Bosnians have been eating cevapi for around 500 years and every region has their own special recipe. These grilled meat sausages are usually made with a mix of beef, lamb or pork, although no matter where you go, it’s practically the rule to eat them with raw onions wrapped in Bosnian pita bread.

Klepe

Almost everyone’s grandmother makes the best klepe in Bosnia, so it shouldn’t be hard to get your hands on these dumpling delights! Klepe is similar to ravioli and filled with anything from ground meat to cheese and spinach. They’re baked in a heavenly blend of garlic, paprika and sour cream and best eaten fresh out of the oven.

Bosnian bean soup

If you’re looking for the ultimate Bosnia comfort food, ask for a warm bowl of Bosnian bean soup. It’s been around for hundreds of years and is made from dried beans, vegetables, and smoked meat like pork ribs stewed in a paprika roux. Pick up a slice of fresh bread before you tuck in so you can mop up every last drop.
