Mostar
Visit Mostar to see the elegant Ottoman bridge that links the two sides of the town across the Neretva River. The original 16th-century bridge was destroyed in the war but it has since been reconstructed with Turkish help. In addition, the town also has 16th- and 17th-century mosques, medieval buildings and cobbled streets that survived the war completely.

Bihac
See the most western Muslim settlement in Europe in the Bihac pocket in northwestern Bosnia & Herzegovina, close to the Croatian border. As well as being home to the Fathija Mosque, formerly a church, the town is also a superb base for rafting on the Una River.

Beach
For Bosnia & Herzegovina's only beach head to Neum at the short stretch of coast that divides Croatia's Dalmatian seashore.

Sutjeska National Park
Witness the wildlife and the unspoilt beauty of Sutjeska National Park. It contains Maglic Mountain - at 2,368m (7,769ft), the highest point in Bosnia and Herzegovina - and Perucica Forest, one of the last remaining primeval forests in Europe.

Medjugorje
The world's second most visited Catholic shrine, Medjugorje, south of Mostar, is where many claim to have seen apparitions of the Virgin Mary. Despite hundreds of thousands of annual visitors, it is yet to be recognised as an official pilgrimage site by the Vatican.

Banja Luka
The country's second largest city and administrative capital of the Republika Srpska, Banja Luka is home to the well-preserved Tvrdjava Fortress. In the countryside nearby are several Orthodox monasteries to visit.

Sarajevo
See how 500 years of Turkish rule have left their trace on Bosnia & Herzegovina's capital, Sarajevo. The Turkish quarter (Bascarsija) and the town centre have been largely rebuilt and the city, although scarred by war, is coming back to life. The colourful bazaars are testament to the city's Ottoman heritage and present-day energy.
