Bosnia and Herzegovina has emerged from the ashes of war to become one of the most exotic destinations of southeast Europe, an ancient crossroads where east meets west. Written by an author who has lived in the country since 1992, this third edition of Bradt's Bosnia & Herzegovina is the only guidebook in English dedicated to the country. It offers the most in-depth coverage on the market to this mountainous land blessed with thick forests and deep river canyons, where medieval highland villages and world-class hiking vie with a cosmopolitan cafe culture for the visitor's attention.


• The only guidebook dedicated to B&H in English, written by an author who has lived in the country since 1992

• Detailed information on wildlife, national parks and walking routes that you'll find in no other book

• More comprehensive coverage of history, culture and sites than other guidebooks offer
