In Sarajevo you walk between Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav streets in a few minutes, with mosques, synagogues and churches sharing the same skyline. Mostar and the wider Herzegovina region feel warmer and drier, with stone villages, vineyards and rivers like the Neretva cutting through steep valleys.
