Here, East meets West: minarets and church spires share the skyline, Ottoman bazaars sit beside Austro-Hungarian fa\u00e7ades, and caf\u00e9s serve rich Bosnian coffee alongside Mediterranean-inspired pastries. The country charms with its variety of landscapes \u2014 rugged mountains, turquoise rivers, deep forests and stone-built villages \u2014 and with the warm welcome of its people.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"842\" data-end=\"1410\">Sarajevo, the capital, is a living history book. Wander from the old town (Ba\u0161\u010dar\u0161ija) to imperial-era buildings and sites marked by the Yugoslav period. Further south, Mostar captivates visitors with the iconic Stari Most \u2014 a UNESCO-listed stone bridge \u2014 and lively lanes lined with artisan workshops. Nature lovers will be spoiled for choice: Sutjeska National Park (home to the Peru\u0107ica primeval forest), Una National Park, the Kravica waterfalls, the Neretva canyon, and the highlands of Jahorina and Bjela\u0161nica offer excellent hiking, rafting and sweeping vistas.<\/p>\r\n<p data-start=\"1412\" data-end=\"1909\">Travelling in Bosnia and Herzegovina also means discovering a hearty cuisine \u2014 \u0107evapi, burek, dolma, mountain cheeses and Herzegovinian wines \u2014 and a relaxed, convivial way of life.
