Travnik Fortress stands proudly above the city and offers stunning views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. A symbol of the city's rich past, this fortress is just one of many historical treasures that make Travnik a fascinating destination.
The colorful houses that line the streets, the soothing springs of Plava Voda (Blue Water) and the delicious Ćevapi served in local restaurants all add to its charm. Travnik is also a city of literature – the birthplace of Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić, whose legacy is honored in a museum dedicated to his life and work.
The mix of history, culture and natural beauty that characterizes Travnik will enchant you – and that is exactly why I have included this city in my Bosnia attractions map.
Cazin
Cazin is a town that looks like a postcard come to life. It is located in northwestern Bosnia and is surrounded by rolling hills. Its most famous landmark, Ostrožac Castle, sits majestically on a hill and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the green landscape. This historic fortress with its imposing walls reflects the rich history of the region and creates a magical atmosphere for visitors.
Small rivers and streams run through the area, making Cazin a paradise for nature lovers, hikers and anyone looking for a quiet getaway. In spring and summer, the fields around Cazin are ablaze with the bright colors of blooming flowers, which adds to the enchanting beauty of the town - one reason why I included Cazin in my Bosnia attractions map.
Cazin's culinary traditions are as rich as its landscapes. Hearty dishes made from fresh, local ingredients dominate the cuisine. Specialties such as homemade stews, fresh cheeses and savory dumplings offer an authentic taste of Bosnian hospitality. Walking down the cobbled streets and seeing the charming rural houses gives visitors a glimpse into a simpler, more traditional way of life.
Cazin's harmonious combination of history, culture and natural beauty makes the city a destination where every corner tells a story.

Sarajevo
Sarajevo, the heart of Bosnia, is a city that tells the story of a meeting point between East and West. It is an indispensable part of my Bosnia attractions map. A stroll through Baščaršija, the old bazaar, feels like a journey to another time, with its cobbled streets, Ottoman-style architecture and bustling market stalls.
The city's rich history - from the Latin Bridge, where the spark of World War I was lit, to the Tunnel of Hope, which served as a lifeline during the Siege of Sarajevo - gives it a special atmosphere. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, Sarajevo offers breathtaking views and a dynamic energy that captivates every visitor.
The thriving cultural scene, diverse festivals and delicious cuisine make Sarajevo a city you will never forget. National Geographic named Sarajevo the Best of the World 2025 – Reader's Choice Winner, and Lonely Planet recently ranked Bosnia and Herzegovina as one of the best value for money travel destinations. Praising the country's pristine natural beauty, cultural diversity and affordability, the magazine highlighted the picturesque cities of Mostar and Sarajevo, adventure-friendly landscapes and the hospitality of locals as reasons for the growing interest among travellers.

It is the perfect place for picnics, swimming or simply relaxing in the embrace of nature.

The only downside is that this place is only open during the summer.
Konjic has a lot to offer. Its proximity to Sarajevo and Mostar are further reasons why the city deserves its place on my Bosnia attractions map.
Mostar
Mostar is a city that seems like a poem come to life. Its iconic landmark, the Stari Most (Old Bridge), stands as a symbol of unity and resilience. An architectural masterpiece, the bridge stretches gracefully over the emerald waters of the Neretva River, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty - a sight that deserves its place on the Bosnia attractions map.
Mostar's Old Town is a maze of narrow streets filled with bustling bazaars, historic mosques and cozy cafes where visitors can enjoy traditional coffee and soak up the atmosphere. But beyond its rich history, Mostar also has plenty to offer adventurers.
Fortica Sports and Adventure Park is located on Fortica Hill, east of Mostar, at an altitude of about 500 meters. The highlight is a fantastic 570-meter-long zipline that offers breathtaking views of Mostar. The zipline starts right in front of the mountain hut and the viewpoint where the national flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina flies. The ride ends at the steep cliffs of the “Stolac” climbing area, which includes 13 climbing routes. There is a smaller, 20-meter-long zipline for children - ideal if you are traveling with small children.
The park is also a fantastic place for mountain biking, with several trails that even host competitions. When I was there, I saw riders of all abilities having fun. Plus, Velež mountain is very close by, with over 200km of mapped forest trails that are perfect for cycling. It's a great area if you enjoy exploring trails and getting around on two wheels.
A new addition is a glass skywalk that offers great views of Mostar and is perfect for taking beautiful photos. Among the many sights in Mostar, this is a must-see for adventurers - but even if you just want to enjoy a cup of coffee in a small cafe up there, it's worth a visit.

Neum, Bosnia's charming coastal town, is a place where the Adriatic Sea meets Bosnian hospitality. Neum is Bosnia's only coastal town, which is why it has a permanent place on my Bosnia Sights Map deserves.

With its mild climate and stunning coastal scenery, Neum is a destination that shows a different side of Bosnia – a side filled with sunshine, sea breezes and endless charm.
