Quick answer

Most first trips combine Sarajevo with Mostar and the waterfalls of Herzegovina; add Jajce for the green north, Una National Park if you have ten days or more, and Jahorina or Bjelašnica for snow in winter or cool air in summer.

Six places, one compact country

Bosnia and Herzegovina covers about 51,000 km², but its mountains make distances feel longer than they look on a map. Each guide below gives the road distance and drive time from Sarajevo, calculated from map data, so you can see what fits in a day.

Questions travellers ask

What is the most beautiful place in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Mostar's Old Bridge is the country's best-known sight, but many visitors remember the waterfalls most: Kravica in Herzegovina, the Pliva falls in Jajce and Štrbački buk in Una National Park.

How many days do I need?

Four days cover Sarajevo and a Mostar day trip; seven days add Herzegovina and Jajce comfortably; ten or more let you reach Una National Park. See our 7-day itinerary.
