Bosnia and Herzegovina
Sarajevo's bazaar, Mostar's bridge and the turquoise Neretva between them.
Bosnia and Herzegovina packs more history into a few hours' drive than almost anywhere in Europe. Sarajevo is a compact city in a valley: an Ottoman bazaar, an Austro-Hungarian main street and the traces of the 1990s siege all within a short walk of each other. Coffee is served in a copper pot, ćevapi come with warm somun bread, and the hills around the city are full of viewpoints.
South of the capital the road follows the Neretva river through a canyon to Herzegovina, where the climate turns Mediterranean and the stone turns pale. Mostar's rebuilt Old Bridge is the reason most people come; Blagaj's dervish house at the source of the Buna and the fortified village of Počitelj are the reason they stay a second day.
We run one five-day tour here and pass through the country on both of our long Balkan tours. Distances are short, but the roads are slow and winding, so we keep driving days to a few hours and leave the afternoons free.
