Experience Islamic Bosnia and Hercegovina

Craggily beautiful Bosnia and Hercegovina is most intriguing for its East-meets-West atmosphere born of blended Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian histories filtered through a Southern Slavic lens. Many still associate the country with the heartbreaking civil war of the 1990s, and the scars from that time are all too visible. But today’s visitors are likely to remember the country for its deep, unassuming human warmth, its beautiful mountains, numerous medieval castle ruins, raftable rivers, impressive waterfalls and bargain-value skiing.

Sarajevo

With its stunning natural setting, culturally diverse – and, at times, turbulent – history, and modern vibrancy, Sarajevo is a busy city which now actively welcomes visitors to its eclectic streets.

Due to its long history of religious and cultural diversity, Sarajevo is sometimes called the “Jerusalem of Europe” or “Jerusalem of the Balkans”. It is one of only a few major European cities to have a mosque, Catholic church, Orthodox church and synagogue within the same neighborhood.

The Islamic, Orthodox, Catholic and Judaic influences and religious traditions live on side by side here, in the formerly contested capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina set against the misty backdrop of the Dinaric Alps.

 

Travnik

Travnik’s 15th-century fortress surveys the city from a shoulder of hillside above Plava Voda. The stone walls gleam so brightly in the sunshine that they appear to have been scrubbed. The restored multisided keep houses a modest museum of local history and folk costumes. Travnik is much more historically important than it appears at first glance. Travnik, in fact, was long the seat of Bosnia’s Ottoman viziers.

Mostar

Welcome to Mostar: A Journey Through Time and Culture

Nestled in the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mostar is a destination that transcends the boundaries of history and captivates the soul with its rich tapestry of heritage. With a legacy that spans centuries, Mostar stands as a living testament to the fusion of cultures, a place where East meets West in harmonious unity. From its iconic bridge that elegantly spans the emerald Neretva River to its cobblestone streets that wind through ancient alleys, Mostar is a mosaic of stories waiting to be explored. Join us on a remarkable journey as we uncover the enchanting allure and timeless beauty that define Mostar.

Blagaj

Blagaj is a village in the south-eastern region of the Mostar basin, in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Blagaj Tekija is a Dervish monastery that’s nearly 600 years old. Situated at the base of a cliff, next to the source of the river Buna, it’s a unique and picturesque series of buildings that looks even better in person than it does in pictures.

The Tekija (or Tekke) was first founded during the height of the Ottoman empire. Time and rock slides have led to extensive repairs and reconstruction to the buildings. Today, thanks largely to a Turkish travel agency, the Tekke looks mostly as it did in the past.

Jajce

Jajce’s impressive 21m-high waterfall forms where the Pliva River tumbles abruptly into the Vrbas. A viewing platform (adult/child 4/2KM) has been built opposite the waterfall’s base, accessed from stairs that start between the bus station and petrol station. If you don’t want to get sprayed (nor pay), you can look down on it from either lip.

For the classic tourist-brochure photo, cross the big Vrbas bridge and turn left on the Banja Luka road. Walk 500m, then descend 150m through pinewoods from the roadside lay-by to a great but less-frequented alternative viewpoint.

In the first week in August, daredevils leap from the waterfall in an annual competition featuring around 30 professional divers.
