Heart-shaped, Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in the center of Southeast Europe and is literally a meeting place of Eastern and Western civilizations.

Just like many of its neighbors, the country is known for its very open and hospitable population.
The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina is also called "European Jerusalem", because of the connection between East and West that is felt in it, modern and traditional. It is located in a valley surrounded by the Olympic mountains Bjelasnica, Igman, Jahorina and Trebevic, which can be reached by cable car, one of the biggest attractions of the city. Numerous other cities like Mostar, Banja Luka,Tuzla, Jajce, Bihaฤ and many more are treasuring their architectural and natural gems, so don't miss out on some of the unique attractions they offer.
The climate of Bosnia and Herzegovina is as diverse as its landscape. Generally speaking, the southern part of Bosnia enjoys the climate of southern Europe with long, warm summers and mild winters, while the mountains spend most of the year under a thick blanket of snow and ice.
Mountains, rivers, lakes, the sea; this beautiful country in the heart of the Balkans has something to offer for everyone.
