Bosnia & Herzegovina Tours

Join one of our Bosnia & Herzegovina holidays to discover a land at the crossroads of East and West. This Balkans nation is one of the most diverse in Europe, sitting between Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, with a countryside of soaring mountains, rural communities and tranquil pastures – the ideal spot for your next adventure.

Its history is fascinating yet complex. Guided by one of our expert tour leaders, you’ll discover a nation moulded by the meeting of the Byzantine and Ottoman civilisations from the East, and the Romans and Austro-Hungarians from the West.

In March 1992, BiH became an independent nation, an act that led to war between the Bosnian Croats and Muslims (who wanted independence) and the Serbs (who didn’t). Three years of war ravaged the country, but in 1995 a peace agreement was signed, and the rehabilitation process began.

Today, it is a warm and welcoming country, and Bosnia & Herzegovina holidays offer magnificent architecture in thriving cities such as Sarajevo and Mostar, with equally varied cuisine reflecting its past. Step out of the cities and there’s a rugged countryside to explore, home to the famous Via Dinarica hiking trail, which our local team helped bring into existence.

Top 5 Experiences in Bosnia & Herzegovina

1. Walk the Via Dinarica: The most scenic way to travel through Bosnia & Herzegovina, the Via Dinarica is a 1,245mi (2,000km) megatrail linking all six republics of the former Yugoslavia. Our Walking in Bosnia & Herzegovina adventure includes sections of it, including a hike up Maglić, the highest mountain in the country, with a picnic lunch at the summit.

2. Discover Mostar: There’s a reason most Bosnia tours include a visit to Mostar. The city is undeniably pretty with a spot on the Neretva River and an iconic Old Bridge stretching across the waters (you may even see daring divers jumping off). There’s also 15th-century architecture to discover, while the scars of war are still on display.

3. Sip coffee like a local: Café culture is strong in Bosnia & Herzegovina, much like the coffee itself. Typically served in a copper-plated pot called a džezva, and accompanied by sugar cubes and glasses of water, coffee is drunk slowly, methodically and over good conversation. Take your time and enjoy the simplicity of the occasion.

4. Hike in Sutjeska National Park: The oldest national park in the country is a paradise for walkers with a network of hiking trails and the last primaeval forest in Europe, Perucica. It’s also crossed by the Via Dinarica and offers plenty of mountainous peaks to test yourself against –ideal for an adventure led by someone who knows the remote wilderness well.

5. Discover Sarajevo: Wonderfully diverse, deeply historic, the capital city is one of the most interesting in Europe. Key sites include: the old town, home to a multicultural collection of temples; the site of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination, a moment that hastened the start of the First World War; and the Sarajevo war tunnels, built during a 1,425-day siege in the 1990s.

This trip covers so many interesting & beautiful places. Our guide was great & really enthusiastic about showing us so much of both Bosnia & Montenegro and ensuring we had a taste of the history & culture of both countries. The bus rides between destinations were in themselves really interesting passing amazing scenery (with loads of opportunity for pictures) & our guide giving us history along the way. Hotels were nice & in most locations stayed a few nights giving you a chance to get out and see the different towns. It is a varied itinerary with both beautiful & historic towns to explore & mountain walks to enjoy.
