The top tourist attractions in Bosnia and Herzegovina are one and the same since they refer to the European country in the Balkan Peninsula. However, tourists usually just call it Bosnia. Like many parts of Europe, it has many historical treasures. The country also boasts natural wonders tucked in its mountains.
1. Stari Most is a 2004 reconstruction of the 16th century Ottoman bridge that was destroyed in 1993 during the Croat-Bosniak War. It is considered to be one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the Balkan region.
2. Mehmed Pasa Sokolovic Bridge is a historic structure located in Visegrad. It was designed by Mimar Sinan, Ottoman court architect of the Grand Vizier Mehmed Pasa Sokolovic to whom it was named after. It was completed in 1577 AD and enlisted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
3. Sutjeska National Park contains Perucica, one of the last two primeval forests found in Europe. It also happens to be the oldest national park in the country. There are other sights to see within the park such as the highest peak of Maglic and the Sutjeska river canyon.
