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.
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.
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.
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.
Bosnia is particularly irresistible during the warmer months of spring, summer and autumn, with sunny days for swimming, hiking and city sightseeing.
You'll love exploring the natural springs and historical monuments of Blagaj any time from May to September when the weather is at its best.
Bosnia’s cities like Mostar and Sarajevo absolutely shine in summer, although spring and autumn are just as gorgeous.
Take a journey through Bosnia’s spectacular landscapes in autumn for wine and fruit harvests and spring and summer for long, warm days.
