Active vacation in Bosnia & Herzegovina - things to do, entertainment and nightlife

Cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina have everything you need for intense nightlife. For example, little cozy metropolitan bar Zlatna Ribica ("Goldfish") working from 8:00 AM to 3:00 AM attracts tourists with an interesting design that makes it look like an antique shop. Representatives and ordinary fans of performing arts often gather at Opera Bar, which is open all night. "Bagdad Cafe" fascinates with its authentic oriental interior. Tre Bicchieri Wine Store & Tasting Bar offers a wide selection of first-class Italian wines. However, nightlife is in full swing not only in the capital. Popular Ali-Baba's Cave Bar and Shankley's Pub famous for its broad collection of beers in Mostar, Neum's beach facilities with a relaxed atmosphere, classic Mac Tire Pub with live music in colorful Banja Luka are just a few places in Bosnia where you can spend a good night.

Those thirsting for adventure must explore the Vjetrenica cave system located almost on the border with Croatia. Its depth is 6 kilometers. Many skeletons of wild animals were found here, and on stone walls, one can still see primitive drawings sketched by the hand of a caveman. Archaeologists also discovered hundreds of rare species of animals, including the blind "human fish" - amazing Proteus Anguinus. The cave system is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is a fabulous world of sparkling lakes, underground rivers, limestone galleries, stalagmites and stalactites, and winding tunnels barely visible in the dark. For a tour of the caves, you will need strong shoes with good soles and warm clothes. Due to the proximity of groundwater, the land may be quite slippery, while the temperature in these caves never rises above 12 °C. This can prevent you from enjoying the underground treasures if your tour lasts 1 hour and more.

Travelers looking for a good place to swim should pay special attention to a lake in Mostar. It's not just a lake - Kravica Waterfall pours into it with a great noise, and strong rope bridges are stretched over the river Trebizat that flows into it. There are also sites for long picnics. In the heat, because of the evaporating water over the valley, one can observe an enchanting smoke. Visitors to Bosnia and Herzegovina are offered a variety of excursions for every budget, which include a visit to this magical place. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
