Bosnia offers the famous Stari Most in Mostar and Baščaršija (Bash-char-she-uh) or Old Town Sarajevo.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Geography & Demographics

Bosnia-Herzegovina is located in eastern Europe, right across the Adriatic Sea from Italy, nestled between Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro. Bosnia’s capital city is Sarajevo and it has so much to offer! With Old Town on one side, Vrelo Bosna - a gorgeous park situated at the bottom of a mountain with trees and lakes - on the other, you can’t go wrong. Not to mention the Olympic Stadiums from the 1984 Winter Olympics and museums throughout the city. There are nearly four million people living in Bosnia, making cities such as Sarajevo and Mostar not over crowded and easy to maneuver.

Bosnia is split into four very distinct seasons. Spring is sunny and warm, with scattered rainy days, but overall pleasant. Summer is hot and mildly humid, from being situated in the valley of the Dinaric Alps. Once autumn hits around mid-September the leaves change and it begins to get cooler with a bit of rain, until winter hits in late November when the snow begins to fall and the city of Sarajevo is then covered in a sheet of white. The best visiting seasons for Bosnia are late spring, around the beginning of May. The weather is warm and manageable and overall very pleasant.
