Exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina

In 2006, Sarajevo was named by Lonely Planet as one of the top 50 ‘Best Cities in the World’. Sarajevo has been called the ‘Jerusalem of Europe’ because of its religious diversity and coexisting faiths of Islam, Orthodox Christianity, Catholicism and Judaism.

Whilst visiting this dynamic city, it is important to visit the Bascarsija (Old Town) where it is impossible not to notice the influence that 500 years of Turkish rule had on the city, with its colourful bazaars still providing energy and life just as they did during the height of Ottoman rule.

Sutjeska National Park on the border with Montenegro is the famous site where the partisans defeated a massive German army during WWII. This park is also the home to Maglic Mountain, Bosnia’s highest peak, which has become a favourite destination for hikers and people who love nature.

Jajce represented the last stronghold of Bosnian rule before it was overrun by the Ottomans in 1528. This central region is also home to Pliva Lake and is known for its impressive waterfalls.

Weather

The climate in Bosnia-Herzegovina is as diverse as the terrain and the people who make up this country. In general, Southern Bosnia-Herzegovina shares the Southern European mild winters and long, hot summers. Meanwhile, the mountainous region of the north is covered in snow nearly year-round. In the capital city of Sarajevo, the average temperature in August ranges from a maximum of 26ºC to a minimum of 13º C. When travelling here, it is a good idea to pack both sun block and warm clothing.
