You could spend years exploring every corner of this small but diverse country. However, two weeks in more realistic and still an adequate amount of time to discover some of what this beautiful place has to offer.
If you have the time, head down to Mostar, the capital of Herzegovina. Located in a little valley, the city offers great insight into the country’s complex history as well as close proximity to Blidinje Nature Park and Mt Čvrsnica.
