Bosnia Tours & Trips
Our Best Bosnia & Herzegovina Tours
Top 5 Experiences in Bosnia & Herzegovina
1. Walk the Via Dinarica: The most scenic way to travel through Bosnia & Herzegovina, the Via Dinarica is a 1,245mi (2,000km) megatrail linking all six republics of the former Yugoslavia. Our Walking in Bosnia & Herzegovina adventure includes sections of it, including a hike up Maglić, the highest mountain in the country, with a picnic lunch at the summit.
2. Discover Mostar: There’s a reason most Bosnia tours include a visit to Mostar. The city is undeniably pretty with a spot on the Neretva River and an iconic Old Bridge stretching across the waters (you may even see daring divers jumping off). There’s also 15th-century architecture to discover, while the scars of war are still on display.
3. Sip coffee like a local: Café culture is strong in Bosnia & Herzegovina, much like the coffee itself. Typically served in a copper-plated pot called a džezva, and accompanied by sugar cubes and glasses of water, coffee is drunk slowly, methodically and over good conversation. Take your time and enjoy the simplicity of the occasion.
4. Hike in Sutjeska National Park: The oldest national park in the country is a paradise for walkers with a network of hiking trails and the last primaeval forest in Europe, Perucica. It’s also crossed by the Via Dinarica and offers plenty of mountainous peaks to test yourself against –ideal for an adventure led by someone who knows the remote wilderness well.
5. Discover Sarajevo: Wonderfully diverse, deeply historic, the capital city is one of the most interesting in Europe. Key sites include: the old town, home to a multicultural collection of temples; the site of Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination, a moment that hastened the start of the First World War; and the Sarajevo war tunnels, built during a 1,425-day siege in the 1990s.
Anthony Stephenson Bosnia & BeyondAs an Exodus Staff member i thought this was a fantastic tour that perfectly balanced nature, history, and culture. One of the highlights was the variety of experiences, from exploring fascinating cities and learning about the region’s complex past to enjoying breathtaking landscapes across the Balkans.
A particularly memorable aspect was the opportunity to enjoy home-cooked meals with local families, which provided a genuine insight into daily life. These experiences felt incredibly authentic.

Lee Brooks Walking in Bosnia & HerzegovinaA wonderful weeks hiking in the most beautiful surroundings. Sarajevo was an interesting base for some of the walks and the time spent in Mostar was lovely …despite the heavy rain!! It was a pleasure to meet all the other group members, good conversation and fun the whole week. Two of the accommmodation could be described as interesting (run down and dated) ….however, some of the other hotels exceeded expectations and were really of a very good standard.
