Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country in South Eastern Europe
steeped in history, with everything from Roman annexation and Slav
invasion, to its inclusion in the Ottoman empire and World War II,
playing a major role in its past. More recently, in the 1990s, this
little heart-shaped state gained its independence from socialist
Yugoslavia. Its tumultuous background has furnished Bosnia and
Herzegovina with a culturally diverse and surprisingly hospitable
population.Travellers can enjoy the warm and sunny Mediterranean climate of
Neum, a resort town on the Adriatic coast, or venture out to the
fascinating Vetrenjica Caves. Other features include Medugorje, the
Catholic pilgrimage site where visions of the Virgin Mary were
reported in the 1980s, and the Kravica Waterfalls near Ljubuski.
Bosnia and Herzegovina also offers great city breaks, winter sports
and eco-adventures.As it proudly establishes itself as a new and exciting tourist
destination, visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina will prove to be a
remarkable and fulfilling vacation experience.
