Bosnia has seen a lot of conflict and turmoil over the years, but it is still a beautiful country filled with a rich history. The many different cultures in this region have blended to create an amazing culture all their own, which you can experience firsthand when you visit some of the most interesting places in Bosnia. Here are reasons why visiting Bosnia will be worth your time!

Sarajevo Sarajevo is a city most people know of as the capital city of Bosnia, but it is also known as an Olympic town. It was host to multiple Winter Olympics events, and the 1984 winter Olympics were here in Sarajevo. The city itself dates back to 1463, though much of what you will see in the city is from the 19th century. The Austro-Hungarian Empire had control of Sarajevo until 1878 when they handed it over to Bosnia and Herzegovina as a part of their colonial rule. The new government worked hard at opening up Sarajevo to the world, allowing many different cultures and religions to come through. This is the reason you can find so many different types of architecture in Sarajevo, as well.
