Bosnia and Herzegovina is a perfect fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations. With its mix of Slavic, Orthodox, Ottoman and Catholic influence, many historical remains have been conserved, despite the war. Thanks to its geographical location, the country enjoys unparalleled natural beauty and a temperate climate all year round. The capital, Sarajevo, is the pearl of the country, but not its only treasure. The city of Mostar, with its Old Bridge, turquoise-coloured river and medieval streets, is one of the largest and most important tourist destinations in the country.
