Bosnia-Herzegovina

While few travelers experience it for themselves, Bosnia-Herzegovina has long been — and remains — a remarkable place, with a unique mix of cultures and faiths, kind and welcoming people who pride themselves on their hospitality, and some of the most captivating sightseeing in southeastern Europe. A visit here offers a fascinating opportunity to sample the cultures of three major faiths within a relatively small area. In the same day, you can inhale incense in a Serbian Orthodox church, hear the subtle clicking of rosary beads in a Roman Catholic church, and listen to the Muslim call to prayer echo across a skyline of prickly minarets.
