City holidays are hugely popular in the UK due to our proximity to many different countries with vastly different cultures.
But if classic destinations like Paris and Rome are already on your bucket list, you might be craving some new inspiration.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, located on the Balkan Peninsula in south-eastern Europe, has long been a little-known holiday destination for Brits.
But that may soon change as a video showcasing the country’s serene beauty goes viral.
Travel influencer Nessa recently shared a video on TikTok of the iconic Kravice Waterfalls, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most famous tourist attractions.
Visitors can take a dip in the emerald waters, surrounded by waterfalls cascading from lush trees, but be sure to arrive early to avoid the crowds, advises the Mirror.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is also home to the sacred Mount Križevac, where legend has it that the Virgin Mary appeared to six children and gave them a message of peace and prayer.
Regardless of your faith, the four-hour hike through the rocky terrain will take you to breathtaking scenery, and for the more adventurous, the four-mile-long Vjetrenica Cave is a must-see.
This underground wonder features a 15th-century gravestone at the entrance and is adorned with unique rock formations.
Many travel enthusiasts have praised the destination in the comments section, with many calling it “the most beautiful place on earth.” One enthusiast commented: “I’ve been here before and it’s truly magical. I want to go back to Bosnia.”
A second said: “Bosnia is a special place,” while a third traveller called the place a “paradise on earth.”
Luton and Stansted airports have direct flights to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and if you’ve got the time, you’ll likely be able to get a cheap flight in October, with fares starting from £18.
Upon arrival, tourists can choose to stay in Sarajevo, which makes a great base for those wanting to rent a car and travel, or opt to travel to Mostar, a charming city boasting a legendary bridge and beautiful mountain scenery.
