Highlights

The cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina is less likely to be experienced in a museum but rather in what they coin as ‘living museums.’ The customs and pastimes are best found in everyday life where you can catch a glimpse of old and new world Europe – preserving their ancient past.

 
Bosnia and Herzegovina are not only blessed with a great abundance of crystal clear mountain rivers but high-quality thermal springs as well. Bosnia is heavily investing in modernizing its thermal spa facilities to offer our guests top quality spas services for only a fraction of the price of our other European neighbours. With full service facilities available in more than 15 locations there is always a relaxing spot for a massage or full range thermal treatment. Terme in Sarajevo is an ideal location, near both the city center and the Bjelasnica/Igman ski center. The spas in Teslic, Fojnica and Banja Luka also offer spas services with modern facilities and are all located in beautiful natural surroundings.
