Bosnia and Herzegovina : The Bradt Travel Guide (Bradt Travel Guide)

Well researched and impartial guide to a beautiful place with an incredibly turbulent history. Very insightful and honest. BiH's tourism infrastructure may not be the well oiled machine that your find in other European destinations - but that just increases the joys of travelling the paths less travelled and very soon, this too will change. I would have appreciated more information on travel times between towns/cities. For a first time traveller to the region, this book has proven invaluable. Overall: 4.5 stars!

B & H well worth a visit

It's about time someone produced a travel guide dedicated to Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a fascinating and beautiful country steeped in a complex and captivating history. And it is in desperate need of income from any legitimate source, so why not tourism? Like the author, I am particularly fond of Herzegovina, partly due to having lived in Mostar for two years in the 90s. I will attempt a fuller review of the book later, but most wanted to comment on two shortcomings in this mostly wonderful book that leapt out at me. The first is that the Mostar restaurant guide section consists almost entirely of East Mostar locales. While I cannot disagree with the descriptions of the restaurants listed, I can't help but wonder what happened to Hrvoje, Admiral, Stela, and other standout restaurants in the area. The other is the short shrift given to some of the wineries in the area. While some large wineries produce utter mediocrity, near Citluk and Medjurgoje are some rather good wineries, the best of which is Andrija. This winery is known for excellent whites and rose's, and also had a delightful cherry-flavored liquor made from grapes. While the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia is deservedly well known for its reds and rose's, the finer Herzegovinian whites must not be overlooked where available! I might also add that, rather than staying and eating in Neum, it is well worth your while to head to Mali Ston, a few kilometers east in Croatia. The Kapitanova Kuca is one of the best restaurants in either Bosnia and Herzegovina or Croatia.
