Take a Tour in Bosnia and Herzegovina Quiz

Answer: Bascarsija

There is so much to see and do and Sarajevo, but the bazaar should be on any tourist list. It was started in 1462 and at one time had over a thousand shops with different crafts. Today the small streets have artisan and souvenir shops as well as many food vendors selling native dishes.

Close by is the Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque and the old Sarajevo Clock Tower. The mosque was damaged in the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War (as was much of Sarajevo), however much has been done to restore it. The Clock Tower doesn't keep local time, but rather lunar time so that locals can time their prayers.

Answer: Jajce

Archaeologist Ćiro Truhelka excavated the skeleton from Kraljev Grob (King's Tomb). There have been no scientific tests to prove these are the remains of Stephen Tomasević, but it is widely believed that they are.

Once in Jajce, the tourist can view a spectacular waterfall where the Pliva and Vrbas Rivers meet. Upstream on the Pliva River there are also a group of watermills located between the two lakes. The watermills date from the Middle Ages and several have been renovated and are again working mills.

In addition, a tourist might visit museums, the city fortress or even go kayaking or fly fishing on the river.

Answer: Tuzla

For years, the salt has been mined, and parts of the city were sinking. In parts of the city that were sinking, heavy rains caused floods that became salty from the earth. In the center of the city where there were many buildings sinking, the salt lakes were built in 2003 and 2006 and include waterfalls. These have attracted many tourists to the city.

One of Tuzla's famous natives is painter Ismet Mujezinović (1907-1984). The International Portrait Gallery of Tuzla features many of his creations. The studio where he lived and worked is part of the Portrait Gallery.

Answer: Medjugorje

Skeptics, including Catholics, have worked to disprove that the sightings, and yet pilgrims continue to visit the site. As of 2015 the Pope of the Catholic Church had not stated the church's official position on the reports of these visitations, so for many there is still a question as to whether they were a hoax or real.

Real or no, the pilgrims have brought a certain level of prosperity to this city "between mountains". The need for lodging and food instigated a growth of tourism in the area.

Answer: Stari Most

All of the bridges listed as answers were built during the time of Ottoman rule.

Answer: Srebrenica

The memorial is named the Srebrenica-Potočari Memorial and Cemetery for the Victims of the 1995 Genocide. This began as a cemetery in 2003 when 600 victims were re-buried. As the mass graves have been found and exhumed throughout the area, many identified remains have also been buried here. It was officially opened on September 20, 2003, by the then former President Bill Clinton.

Two towers were added in 2007 to the memorial area. Here visitors can learn the personal story of some of the victims and view a short film.

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia unanimously ruled that the massacre was a genocide crime in 2004. There have been trials for many of those believed to be perpetrators (still on-going in 2015). DNA analysis was used to identify more than 6000 victims by 2012.

Answer: Neum

Though the coastline is only 9 kilometers (approximately 5 miles), because the coast is uneven, the actual waterfront length is about 24 kilometers (approximately 15 miles). Neum is the only Bosnia and Herzegovina city on the coast. The city has focused on tourism -- building more hotels and offering visitors options of sunbathing, or various water enjoyments such as swimming, scuba diving, or parasailing.

The Adriatic Highway was built in 1965 and connects Neum to other local tourist sites, making possible excursions to Mostar, Dubrovnik and other sites.

Answer: Perucica

In another part of Sutjeska National Park, there is a World War II memorial complex near Tjentiste to honor the Battle of the Sutjeska, or Operation Fall Schwarz from 1943. The memorial includes a futuristic-appearing sculpture by Miodrag Zivkovic and the Sutjeska Battle Memorial House by architect Ranko Radović.

Answer: Hajdučka Republika Mijata Tomića

Vinko Vukoja-Lastvić opened the motel Hajdučke vrleti in 2009. However, he had trouble getting power from the three closest municipalities (Posusje, Tomislavgrad and Jablanica) and resolved the issue by creating his own micronation. A constitution was drawn up, money created, and a national anthem selected. Ministers were appointed such as the Minister of Smiles, a Minister of Vagueness, a Minister of Artificial Blondes, and a Minister of Underachieving Truck Drivers.

The hotel, located in Blidinje Nature Park, has good food and lodging reviews. Tourists can bird watch, hike, or travel to several close locales for sightseeing.
