Bosnia and Herzegovina Vacation Guide
A country that has been long troubled by wars and bloodshed, Bosnia and Herzegovina is often overlooked by the uninitiated traveler because of its checkered past. This is perhaps the greatest tragedy to befall the country given the fact that there is a wealth of cultural, historical, and geographical wonders to behold within its borders. From the coastal regions along the Adriatic Sea, to the heights of the Sutjeska National Park, home to one of the world's last remaining primeval forests, to the Kravica Waterfalls and the Tvrdos Monastery, or the Jajce and Pliva Lakes region, Bosnia and Herzegovina is host to some of the world's most amazing destinations, just waiting for the adventurous soul to stumble along and rediscover its national wonders.
When people think of Bosnia, the first thing that comes to mind is Sarajevo, and the tragedies that befell the city in the 20th century, or more recently, the political unrest regarding Serbia. But despite such a troubled past, the area is nevertheless one of the hidden secrets of Eastern Europe, and should absolutely be marked down on any traveler's itinerary.
Transportation within Bosnia and Herzegovina is slowly getting better, and while public transportation is fairly timely and reliable, it can still be a shock to the unwary visitor, as the trains are old, and traffic can be excessively aggressive. It is recommended to either use public transportation such as busses and taxis, or to use trains, rather than drive yourself.
Along with the many beautiful cities, the mountains, the coastline, the castles, and the monasteries, the food and culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina is perhaps the most unique thing that this country has to offer. Bread is considered a staple food, as is roasted lamb, and most dishes here are spicy and hot. And like almost all of the Balkan nations, you will not be able to visit the country without sampling the traditional drink, Rakija, which is generally a brandy made from grapes.
