Bosnia and Herzegovina in 7 Days
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Overview
A week split between Sarajevo's dense old town and war history, and the warmer, Mediterranean-influenced south around Mostar, Blagaj and Kravice. Buses connect all main stops, though a rental car for the Mostar-based days gives easier access to Kravice and Trebinje.
