Motivating reasons to travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina

Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Ghasemi - Forget about the conflict that took place here in the 1990s, this country has become one of the most exciting tourist destinations in Europe, and it has become one of the places that attract the heart of the Arab traveler above all else.

This is a group of reasons that motivate travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina .

Its vibrant capital is Sarajevo

Almost three-quarters of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina was destroyed by shells and bombs during the war, but it has returned to become a vibrant city in the past years, a city that blends east and west, its Ottoman streets are filled with cobblestones around Bascarsija, and at the same time it has traces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire covering Streets of Farhadi.

Incredible nature

It's impossible not to fall in love with the scenery here, dramatic rocky mountains, crossroads with gushing rivers and waterfalls, just 25 kilometers from the Adriatic coast, but the fjords and valleys make up for it.

Historic cities

You could spend days exploring Sarajevo but it is better to venture out to other cities. Mostar is one of the most interesting cities with its masterpieces of Ottoman architecture, and Jajce in northwest Bosnia is a stunning hill town topped with a medieval fortress and dramatic waterfalls at its base.

People and hospitality

Despite the scourge of the conflict, Bosnians still go out to the road to receive guests and strangers, and guests staying with Bosnian families have the opportunity to drink a lot of coffee and eat.

do you like coffee ?

Coffee is the backbone of social life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnian coffee is similar to its Turkish sister, but the locals insist that it is completely different. Sarajevo has endless cafes where you can sit, relax and watch the world go by.

Cheap tourist destination

Sarajevo is one of the cheapest capitals in Europe, but outside the city, prices can be obtained even lower. You can eat out for less than $ 3, and compared to neighboring Croatia, you will feel that it is ridiculous.

Great shopping opportunity

There are some amazing shopping opportunities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, both in terms of the lower prices compared to the rest of Europe, as well as in terms of the level of craftsmanship in the goods, especially handicrafts such as copper, lace, traditional carpets and jewellery.
