Bosnia and Herzegovina lies in the western Balkans, bordered by Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro, with a short stretch of coastline on the Adriatic Sea near Neum. The country of around 3.2 million inhabitants is known for its mountainous terrain, rivers suitable for rafting, and winter ski resorts such as Jahorina and Bjelašnica, which hosted the 1984 Olympic Games. Travelers come for Sarajevo with its visible layers of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture, the old bridge in Mostar, and relatively affordable prices compared to western Europe.
