Bosnia-Herzegovina tourist information
An important tourist destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina is represented by the elegant arched bridge 450 years old, Stari Most, from the city of Mostar. This is a powerful symbol of the country and it's history. The Neretva River bridge was the link between Muslims and Christians, but it was destroyed during the civil war. After peace one of the country's main concern was rebuilding it.
The Old Town of Sarajevo is a typically Turkish town, with a maze of narrow streets and low houses that have wooden floors. Much of it was destroyed in the civil war, but bit by bit, the city began receiving visitors again. The rest of the country is made of beautiful landscapes, traditional villages and towns that now preserve Islamic and Orthodox Christian architectural elements.
