Best time to travel to: Bosnia And Herzegovina

Bosnia And Herzegovina has been an independent country since 1992. In the course of the Balkan War, the country was again and again one of the focal points of military action and was consequently affected on a large scale.

The country is not very big and has a comparatively small coastline on the Adriatic Sea. Therefore, the maritime climate plays a rather subordinate role for Bosnia And Herzegovina, but on the coast and near the coast one can certainly speak of a Mediterranean climate.

However, the main focus in Bosnia And Herzegovina is a continental climate that is comparable to other landlocked countries in Eastern Europe. Summers are warm and can get hot, but winters are relatively cold. In the South, on the other hand, you can almost speak of a Mediterranean climate. The summers are very warm there and the winters are rather mild. Since the inland is relatively mountainous and rises up to approx. 2,400 meters, the altitude plays an important role. The higher you go, the cooler it gets. At the top it snows abundantly in winter, the snow can stay there until April.

For winter sports enthusiasts, the period from December to April should be of particular interest.
