Our Bosnia vacations & tours

Our Bosnia-Herzegovina vacations are not only glistening with natural beauties, like the Durmitor Mountains, but are also packed with cultural highlights. Our trips to Sarajevo take you back to fine ancient civilisations but show off contemporary ones too, whilst in the countryside, our vacations use local hotels and restaurants so that you can try fantastic homemade dishes (washed down with very strong coffee). Bosnia-Herzegovina is starting to shine as brightly as neighbouring Croatia and Montenegro on the tourist map, and our brilliant hiking and cycling vacations showcase it at its best, thanks to local guides who can unveil the very best of the country.

Bosnia-Herzegovina map & highlights

About the same size as Costa Rica, Bosnia-Herzegovina may not offer the same wow factor on species, or indeed ‘costas’, but it does on scenery. And secrecy – because this is one of Europe’s best kept secrets for lovers of rugged wild places. Sarajevo, the capital, is one of Europe’s most fascinating cities for history, from its Ottoman founders to the 1993 siege; medieval Mostar is a must; and – oh! – those mountains. From the Bjelašnicas, famous for 1984 Winter Olympics to the Durmitor range, with the country’s highest peak Maglic, well protected by sublime Sutjeska National Park, this country is quickly climbing its way up the ladder of trekking tourism, summer and winter.
Bjelašnica mountains

1. Bjelašnica mountains

Sarajevo’s 1984 Winter Olympics were thanks to these mountains on its doorstep, making this one of the most perfect winter activity destinations, so close to the capital. Snowshoeing is popular, traveling from peaks such as Visocica and Crveni Kuk, passing remote mountain villages, frozen waterfalls and white powdered canyons. There are myriad walking trails in summer, too.
Blagaj

2. Blagaj

This town has an almost fairytale like quality, set into a rock face with a spring oozing through it to form the Buna River. Also set into the rock is an ancient ‘tekke’ or Dervish monastery which, for a mystical cult, is pretty impressive. Take a walk along the river here, or just hang out in one of the river cafes and watch the world go by.
Lukomir

3. Lukomir

The country’s highest village, at an altitude of 1,495m in the Bjelašnica Mountains, is also home to a semi-nomadic traditional Bosniak community. Wearing traditional dress, and living in ancient stone and wooden houses, this village goes back to medieval times, seen by the ancient 'stecci' or tombstones. The views of, or hiking to the Rakitnica Canyon just to add to this lost in time and beauty experience.
Mostar

4. Mostar

Mostar is all about building bridges, with its famous, single span Stari Most Bridge over Neretva River built during the Ottoman Empire, but destroyed in the war. It has been restored, and is now the greatest symbol of Muslim, Croat and Serb reunification. Travel by train from Sarajevo if you can, cutting through mountains, following the river and taking time to take in this now, thankfully, tranquil terrain.
Pocitelj

5. Pocitelj

Located in a natural karst amphitheatre on the banks of the River Neretva, this stunning ancient town was recently awarded UNESCO status. Going back as far as Ottoman times, this walled town was a fort to protect the Neretva Valley, resulting in this impressive architecture of Sahat Kula fort. Similarly impressive, set into the rocky limestone terrain, is the nearby Kravica Waterfall. Again, pack your swimsuit.
Sarajevo

6. Sarajevo

Notorious for the longest siege of the Yugoslav wars, it now takes siege only of hearts and minds, with culture in every cobbled street, church and café. Don’t miss the Historical Museum or the Tunnel Museum, constructed during the Siege of 1993. Or the Jewish and Orthodox museums, to learn what an ethnically eclectic city this was for generations. If ever there was a city to taking a guided walking tour, this is it.
Sutjeska National Park

7. Sutjeska National Park

Here you will find some of Europe’s most hidden hiking trails through one of its last primeval forests, Perucica, with added bonus of mighty Durmitor Mountains to ooh and aah over. Not just with delight either, with some peaks to push those muscles, such as Maglic (2,386m), the country’s highest, or Ugljesin (1,858m). If you like a wild swim, pack your swimsuit and dip into the waters of Donje Bare Lake.

I had been looking at the Balkans Rail trip for many years, and it turned out to be an excellent experience. I’m so glad we finally went; it was memorable from start to finish. Traveling by rail made the trip especially rewarding. It gave us a unique opportunity to compare and contrast the different countries along the route, with each destination offering its own distinct character.read more

It did what it said on the tin. Amar was a very conscientious and diligent guide. Use of local guides in Kotor, Sarajevo and Mostar was very worthwhile. There were no stand outs, but all interesting. We enjoyed Durmitor, Kravica and Lukomir.read more
