This one-of-a-kind comprehensive guide to Bosnia and Herzegovina covers the natural wonders of the area, history and culture, Sarajevo festivals and nightlife, and practical information for travelers.
Tim Clancy is an American who has lived in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 1992. He was an aid worker throughout the war, leading social projects and running humanitarian convoys across the country. He works as a consultant for the Tourism Office of BiH and many other eco-tourism development projects and writes on themes of war, ecology, and heritage. He spends his free time hiking and trekking Bosnia's magical mountains.
Bosnia and Herzegovina lies at the cultural crossroads of east and west. It was here that Byzantine and Ottoman civilizations meet Roman and Austro-Hungarian ones, molding one of Europe's most diverse nations. Where else would you find Orthodox and Catholic churches, a mosque and a synagogue side by side in the same square?
This comprehensive and practical guidebook – the first in English – leads you to the Mediterranean south and the Alpine north, through fields of fig trees and green mountains. Almost a decade after the war, you'll be pleasantly surprised by a mosaic of landscapes and a warm welcome.
This is the first single-country guide to BiH in English. It covers Sarajevo and the Herzegovina/Mostar region. You will find details on all the national parks, hiking and mountain walks and it includes practical information about red tape, accommodation, food and transport.
