Bosnia & Herzegovina is one of Europe’s most underrated backpacking destinations. Sarajevo and Mostar offer deep history, Ottoman architecture, and striking landscapes. Travellers often find the local culture extremely welcoming.

​

The country is more rugged and less developed than nearby regions, meaning slower travel times — but also more authentic experiences. Outdoor activities like rafting, hiking, and canyoning are popular in summer.

 

This destination is ideal for backpackers seeking off-the-beaten-path travel, affordability, and a mix of nature, culture, and history.
