Bosnia-Herzegovina Hotels

Bosnia & Herzegovina shares borders with Serbia & Montenegro in the east and southeast, and Croatia to the north and west. It has a short Adriatic coastline of 20km (12 miles) in the south, but no ports. Travel by road is the usual means of transport in Bosnia & Herzegovina. Many of the roads are still in poor condition but the rail service is gradually being restored. There are a few city centre hotels in Sarajevo. In the recent past, it was only foreign journalists who stayed there but that is slowly changing, as the situation stabilises. The cuisine of the region includes Turkish influences. Specialities are bosanski lonac (Bosnian meat and vegetable stew) and lokum (Turkish delight). In past years, the health spas of Jahorina, Bjelasnica and Igman were renowned for good skiing. The Adriatic Coast offers unrestricted fishing, although a special permit may be needed for fishing in rivers and lakes with nets or traps.
