Bosnia and Herzegovina is home to different cultures, religions, beautiful nature, excellent Bosnian cuisine and humorous and kind people. The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina is Sarajevo, a city that you must put on the "to visit" list.
If you are thinking what the best period is to visit it, we just can say that it’s beautiful and diverse in every part of the year. Film lovers should visit BiH during the summer because the Sarajevo Film Festival is held in Sarajevo every summer. It was founded in 1995, during the war in BiH, and it’s the largest and most famous film festival in the Balkans and Southeast Europe.
Except that they are known for amazing traditional meal-Ćevapi (meat meal), Bosnians are big coffee lovers, so they are on the list of the ten largest coffee consumers in the world.
Another reason to visit BiH is the fact that in 2010 Lonely Planets nominated Sarajevo as one of the 10 best cities to visit that year.
Don't miss to visit Medjugorje, a beautiful place of pilgrimage where Catholics from all over the world arrive. It is in the southern part of Herzegovina, near the city of Mostar, which you must also visit.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a member of the European Union, and its currency is the Convertible Mark (BAM).
