SARAJEVO
 Sarajevo is a city in which even strangers can feel at home. Neither geographically expansive nor characterised by large buildings, the city retains a particular, arresting charm with its abundance of busy café's and abiding tradition of hospitality. TUZLA
 Situated on the southeast slopes of the Majevica Mountain, the city of Tuzla occupies the central area of northeast Bosnia. MOSTAR
 When the Stari most, or Old Bridge, collapsed from tank shelling in 1993 it was like the heart was ripped out of most Mostar natives. Even mentioning the bridge for years after it fell to the bottom of the Neretva River could invoke tears as it symbolized both the city and the country as a whole. BANJA LUKA
This beautiful town is surrounded by rolling green hills. It is split in two by the Vrbas, a very rough river that, just a short distance from Banja Luka, suddenly loses its waterfalls and cascades, and flows gently into town.
TRAVNIK
An old, beautiful town in central Bosnia, Travnik is the birthplace of Ivo Andric, a Bosnian Nobel Prize winning author. His home is now a little museum with a restaurant, where visitors can enjoy a lovely lunch in the garden. This photo was shot from an old Ottoman fortress, that overlooks the city.

About Bosnia & HerzegovinaBosnia and Herzegovina is a beautiful mountainous country with many scenic vistas. Most of the towns and cities show evidence of years of war with shell torn buildings and burned out cars and trucks on the sides of the road. It would be in bad taste to ask questions about the war, but otherwise you will find the people friendly and helpful. It is emerging from the ruins of war and everywhere you look you can see the toll it has taken on the country. GeographySituated at the heart of the Balkan Peninsula, Bosnia and Herzegovina encompasses both Mediterranean and Alpine climates, landscapes and henceforth some of the richest flora and fauna found in Europe. LanguageThe main language is Bosnian, but there are also English and German speaking people here. Since the peacekeepers are mainly from English speaking countries, these are the people you should look to for help if you run into difficulty. ClimateDue to its unique geographic positioning, Bosnia and Herzegovina is ideal for multi-season visits. Our climate suites every type of tourist, from sun seekers on the Adriatic Coast to white powder skiers we've got the best of both worlds. Attractions
