"While Bosnia was once known for its horrifying wars and endured a terrible past, the country is healing and today it radiates harmony and tranquility. I love introducing our guests to the friendly locals at the traditional markets and restaurants, and watching people connect over good food and laughter."

Travel Director

Admire the Stari Most Ottoman-style bridge

The Stari Most bridge is one of the most incredible places to visit in Bosnia, and we’ll take you there with a Local Specialist to admire the fairytale views and learn the tragic story behind the medieval bridge that was destroyed during the Bosnian War. It has since been rebuilt using old traditions and today it’s a beautiful symbol of reconciliation.

Learn about the religious & multicultural heritage of Sarajevo

Our Sarajevo tours take you to the heart of the ‘Jerusalem of Europe’ and its multicultural history with a Local Specialist. You’ll get an insider’s look on a walking tour where you’ll discover Bosnia’s centuries of religious history in the stunning mosques, synagogues, and Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Walk through the colorful cobbled streets of Mostar

If you’re looking for the best places in Bosnia, you can’t go past Mostar, a gorgeous riverside town filled with Ottoman architecture, UNESCO sites, mosques, churches and traditional markets and restaurants. You’ll join your Bosnia travel guide for a stroll through the vibrant streets and get an insight into the real Bosnian way of life in the Old Town čaršija (market).

Visit the War Tunnel in Sarajevo

The War Tunnel is one of the most moving of all Bosnia’s attractions. We’ll take you there with a Local Specialist who will share his special personal insight on a tour of this underground tunnel of hope. Built during the Siege of Sarajevo, the tunnel allowed food, supplies and humanitarian aid to reach the city for four years during the Bosnian War.

Visit the Sarajevo Old Town and trace the Sarajevo Roses

Our Bosnia holidays will have you meeting a Local Specialist and strolling through the beautiful Sarajevo Old Town. You’ll set eyes on the largest mosque in Bosnia, visit the Eternal Flame and see the Sarajevo Roses dotted across the city. The roses are a stirring reminder of the turmoil the city endured decades ago.

Our top 5 things to do in Bosnia & Herzegovina

Our Bosnia tours will show you all the best things to do in Bosnia & Herzegovina, from seeing the famous Stari Most bridge to wandering the historic Sarajevo Old Town.

Museum Of War And Genocide Victims

This Mostar museum is the best place in Bosnia to learn about the country’s dark past. It’s dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Bosnian genocide and the Srebrenica massacre from 1992-1995. You’ll see photos, documents, and personal belongings, and learn about the brutal concentration camps and mass graves of the genocide.

Museum of the Old Bridge

Set within the Tara Tower, one of the defensive towers guarding the Old Bridge (Stari Most), this museum tells the famous story of the reconstruction of the bridge. You’ll get to see archaeological remains, learn the fascinating history of the bridge, wander the gallery, and admire the stunning views from five-stories high.

If you want to learn about Bosnian culture and history in one place, Bosnaseum is the place to go. You’ll learn about the country’s history from the Ottoman Empire era to the end of the Bosnian War including the destruction of Stari Most. Plus discover Bosnian culture including traditional costumes and a model of a Herzegovina village.

Best museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina

You can’t visit the incredible country without checking out some of the top Bosnia museums, from the Stari Most museum to the museum of Bosnian history and culture.

These grilled meat sausages are a beloved dish all over the Balkans, but they hold a special place in the hearts of Bosnians. Every region has their own unique recipe, and they’re traditionally made with a spiced mix of beef, pork and lamb. Grab a pita bread and stuff it with onions and Ćevapi and you’ve got the ultimate Bosnian food.

Bosanski lonac (The Bosnian pot)

Looking for some Bosnian comfort food? Look no further than the Bosnian Pot. The ingredients vary from family to region, but this hearty stew is always overflowing with rich chunks of meat and vegetables. The local saying goes “you should eat something with a spoon each day”... So grab your spoons and tuck into the Bosnian Pot.

This is another beloved Balkan dish and you’ll find delicious variations of these doughnut-like balls of fried dough all over the region. In Bosnia, uštipci is traditionally served up as a crispy, delicious snack, dipped in all kinds of cheeses like kajmak, a creamy, dairy spread. But be warned - you can't stop at just one!

Best food in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s food is sure to be one of the highlights of your trip. We can’t wait to introduce you to all the favorites, from grilled sausages to fried dough balls.

What to pack for Bosnia & Herzegovina

With all kinds of beaches, waterfalls and rivers, you never know when you might want to take a dip in the water on your Bosnia holiday. Pack a swimsuit and be ready for anything.

Insect repellent

The Balkan Peninsula is known for its mosquitoes - including Bosnia & Herzegovina. Pack some good insect repellent and itch cream to soothe any mosquito bites.

Sun protection

Whether you’re traveling in the hot summer or the chilly winter, you’ll need a hat, sunglasses and high SPF sunscreen to protect your skin on your Bosnia trip.

Walking shoes

From the cobbled streets of Mostar to the historic tunnels of Sarajevo, you’re sure to be doing a lot of walking on your Bosnia tours. Bring your most comfortable pair of shoes.

Bosnian phrasebook

It’s handy to learn a few common words and phrases in the Bosnian language, especially if you plan on visiting more rural areas - and the locals are sure to appreciate your efforts.

Less known facts about bosnia.

You already know that we hosted the Winter Olympics and that the most famous film festival in Southeastern Europe takes place here every year. But did you know that the name Bosnia comes from the Indo-European word ‘bossana,’ meaning water? So, it’s no wonder that Bosnia has more waterfalls than Italy, France, and Germany combined.

The first regularly used tram was in Sarajevo, the last primeval forest in Europe is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and what makes this country unique is the Bosnian pyramids, among the oldest in the world. As the tenth country in the world in terms of coffee consumption, over a cup of Bosnian coffee in your desired locations, we’ll talk more about everything hidden here, so you can understand why this country is called the gem in the heart of Europe.

Our team will dedicate themselves to each individual, using their knowledge to make you feel at home at all times. Experience the spirituality that this small country holds within.

Verified review.

This was a perfect mother-daughter trip at the right time of year to avoid crowds. All of our drivers and tour guides were awesome! The accommodations were likewise wonderful. Communication with our tour company was great and any last-minute changes were taken care of, so we had no worries. We had nearly daily contact from the company, whose staff checked in with us before and during our trip. Our itinerary had a good balance of planned activities and free time, with lots of good suggestions from our tour guides. The company worked cooperatively with us in planning and replanning our itinerary over the course of nearly nine months! So flexible! Thank you, Zicasso and company, for another perfect mother-daughter trip!

 Based on  342  reviews

This is the fourth trip we've booked with a Zicasso travel agent and it was another success. We worked with our travel team and could not be happier with the experience. We had originally planned a Croatia-only trip, but expanded it to include Slovenia and day trips to Bosnia Herzegovina (BH) and Montenegro. These were areas we had no experience with and relied on our travel team's recommendations. There are several aspects to a successful trip: locations, hotels, activities, and organization, and all were well planned. First, we are so glad we added the three countries, especially Slovenia, which was spectacular. Every hotel was great and in line with what we like. In addition, the room choices were good, with upgrades to suites and rooms with views and great balconies. Ours was a two-week trip with activities scheduled for almost every day, including guides and five wine tastings. Every guide was fantastic and the wine visits amazing. We were especially surprised and delighted by the high-end and modern winery in Mostar, BH. The area’s wines are very good. Every aspect of the trip was organized. Our agent sent me 37 different vouchers for each of our hotels, drivers, guides, and activities. I can't recommend her enough.

Tomaz's Travel Agency

 Based on  235  reviews

Zicasso’s tour operator did an excellent job planning our trip! We planned a vacation to Italy and Switzerland and wanted to see as much as we could with our limited time off. Our tour company worked in nearly all of our requests, planning an itinerary involving five cities in 10 days. Each of the hotels was great and all activities and train transfers went smoothly. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and would work with this company again on a future European vacation.

Meet Bosnia Travel

• Excellent - 15 reviews for Bosnia tours

I have been on this tour with Meet Bosnia Travel and I don't regret it at all even though I was traveling alone. This trip was just amazing thanks to the great guides and great stuff. I definitely recommend this trip and this agency.

We are a family of five, that traveled on this beautiful tour with Meet Bosnia Travel. We had really amazing time on this Balkan tour, even though it was a bit cold we had a blast. Our guides were really smart and helpful. Balkan is amazing to visit with family and definitely recommended it.

Nature Trips

• Excellent - 112 reviews for Bosnia tours

My daughter and I really enjoyed the Dubrovnik-to-Dubrovnik self driving tour that took us for 9 days and 8 nights through Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia. The history and beauty of these countries was amazing and we would definitely plan to return some day, especially to Croatia. The hotels that TourRadar selected for us were very good, especially Hotel Neptune in Dubrovnik, where we spent three nights. If there is one area that I think TourRadar needs to improve on is the timeliness in delivery of travel vouchers. It said in their literature that I would be receiving these documents 2-3 weeks before the trip, but I had to call them several times -- finally speaking to a manager -- before they were able to get their partner company Nature Trips to send the documents. I only got them one week before the start of the trip and only three days before I had to leave for Europe. So this made me a bit nervous, since I had never used TourRadar before. Also, on their portal there is a section for me to view my Tour Itinerary. This information was never updated when we added an extra day in the city of Split in the middle of the trip (several months before our trip). So I wanted to share this itinerary with my family before I left, but it was not correctly listed on the portal. Marko from Tour Radar was especially helpful by providing some recommended restaurants along the way. We were able to eat at some of them and enjoyed our meals there. Overall, a very enjoyable trip.

The tour in Sarajevo wasn’t as good as I expected, mostly because the poor communication of the team members in the other tour group they work with, but the staff of Nature Trips had a good attitude and very responsive and responsible. So this rating is for the service of Nature trips ONLY.

Bosnia was an amazing place to visit. All yours were professionally ran and the guides were super knowledgeable. Elvis the tour manager was in touch daily to check all was ok and kept me up to date with pick up times. Hotel in Sarajevo was also excellent.

Monterrasol Travel

• Excellent - 10 reviews for Bosnia tours

Ana and Serge were awesome, Ana is very knowledgeable in the areas that we visited and Serge is an excellent driver and an all around nice guy. I would not hesitate to book with again with them as I now have some great pictures and memories!

Our driver and guide, Sergie and Anna did an outstanding job. We had some extreme heat to deal with, otherwise all went well.

Intrepid Travel

• Excellent - 11,698 reviews for Bosnia tours

Sadly Traveling with Intrepid was just plain disappointing. We were booked a double room on our Croatia Sailing Trip in 2018 for 2020 as the last part of our Honeymoon and was unfortunately like so many due to Covid, couldn't travel. The trip was pushed back to 2023 and we were excited to finally go. Booked 5 years in advance and the first book on our boat. Keep this in mind as we go . . . When we arrived, we found our boat was unavailable due to engine problems, understandable and a newer boat had been arranged, Great :-) We were driven to another wharf and led to our boat by our skipper. The room on board that we were given was not a double. . . Not even close but the other two couples on board were given large double rooms - how is this fair?? We paid the same and booked first!! (one of these couples only booked a few weeks before we departed). Why would you sell a single space as a double????? I was told "this is just how boats are". So we slept very little and woke up sore and stiff every day. Our skipper then proceed to advise us he had never had more than 5 guests plus himself on a vessel such small size - WE HAD 8 GUESTS PLUS HIM! My husband and i were expected to share a room the same size that the skipper had to himself, half the size of the actual double. One of the other guests had to sleep on the couch in the galley due to the configuration ( meaning we couldn't use it all trip), another guest was saturated in the night because his window seals leaked. We also got wet in the night as our window also leaked. We were then advised there would be NO SNORKLING GEAR as was promised on the Intrepid website - I was particularly upset by this as it was one of the reasons we even booked a sailing trip in Croatia. I adore snorkeling and was heartbroken. We were told to buy some gear ourselves when we stopped on one of the Island but couldn't find any at the places we stopped. The skipper then left us, we didn't see him until the next day - this happened every night and a couple of times, skippers from other boats had to come helps us secure mast lines etc because he had left us.. NO SAFELY BREIEFINGS ( i still don't know where the life jackets were), given vague directions to the supermarket and told we could no use the showers on the boat, only on land at the wharfs we stopped at overnight - some of which were truly gross. The skipper then proceeded to shower onboard EVERYDAY. He advised us we would be skipping 2 of the islands on the plan as we would need to conclude our trip one day early Including Vis and the Blue cave. When i mentioned this was something important to me to visit, he advised we would visit a better cave, much less busy. We didn't, we just skipped that whole part. We skipped 2 islands, TWO?! Completed our sailing a day early with NO COMPENSATION due to the boat needing to be returned to Split for the next group and have been ignored by Intrepid since, In fact they have lied repeatedly to my Travel agent about being in touch with us when we asked to discuss a partial refund due to the above reasons. We have been waiting almost 2 months and no contact at all from them. Croatia is beautiful and i highly recommend visiting, doing a sailing trip but 150% absolutely DO NOT DO IT WITH INTREPID. Just a S**T company with very little care for customers. "Pack as many as you can in" should be their Catch phrase. You ruined my Honeymoon Intrepid and you should be ashamed.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the wonderful experience I had during my recent tour with your company. Our exceptional tour leader Ivana Vidovic created personal connections with each of us. She took the time to understand our interests and made sure everyone felt included. She was extremely professional, passionate & knowledgeable of all countries & cities visited. I wholeheartedly recommend Ivana Vidovic and Intrepid travel to anyone seeking an incredible travel experience. Angela Miethke

RaftingClub TaraSport

• Excellent - 9 reviews for Bosnia tours

I Need weth me some girls to enjoyed and drinking an fake.but if some soon beaches it is good

Wow wow wow! This was fantastic experience! If I had to choose where to spend only 3days in Balkans, this would be 1st choice!!! No hidden costs, and as I said above what you see is what U get! Location is PERFECT, on river bank, at finish of rafting tour. For only 135eur per person we had 3nights, 8 meals (all traditional, huge and AMAZING), day of rafting, day of 4x4 safari and hiking, all costs included. Beer and juices are excluded, but very very low priced.. Everything is really fantastic. Staff is great, so kind people, one manager spent over 2h with us and help us make plan for next days in area, I really appreciate than kind of things. Free wi-fi..free parking, very cozy accommodation in double bed bungalow Be aware if you are coming by navigation, last 20km navi can lead you on opposite side of river and if so-you will lose over 1h driving back Tara river is..............beyond all expectations, I have never experienced such s beautiful nature. Rafting is so much fun, but safe in same time (guides are very professional and equipment very good).

• Excellent - 6 reviews for Bosnia tours

Best Tour Ever!!! That is saying something since we travel by tour annually. We're already planning our next tour with Balkland!!! Mike treated us to an exceptional tour!!! It was the perfect balance of tour with plenty of personal time to steep ourselves in the peaceful serenity of Medjugorje and all the services available for visiting pilgrims. We were so grateful for the local guide Blazenka who Mike introduced us to. She shared the incredible history and spirituality of Medjugorje with heart felt joy and her own personal experiences. She also let Mike know that Ivan would be having an extraordinary apparition at the Blue Cross on our last night in Medjugorje so we were able to attend that incredible event. After saying good bye to Medjugorje, Mike took us to the Unesco heritage site Pocitelj, a 15th century village. Then we had a wonderful tour at the impressive Andrija Winery. On the drive back to Sarajevo we visited the gorgeous Kravica Waterfalls and the lovely Bona Spring recreational park!!! Our tour ended with an evening stroll thru historic downtown Sarajevo and a delicious final dinner together!!! It was perfect!!! We are so looking forward to returning for another memorable tour with Balkland!!!

The tour provided an set itinerary, but not guided by the tour guide in the first 4 days in Medjugorje! The driver called himself as a tour guide, but inexperienced, he didn't give any general information of the tourist attractions, when asked him questions, most answers were 'I don't know'! The tour arrangements liked this, is very strange! Very disappointed!

• Excellent - 13,240 reviews for Bosnia tours

Great itinerary, fantastic guide , the out of way places, clear instructions, great and polite driver, great humor from guide and very friendly. Wonderful tour.

An excellent trip to a beautiful country with outstanding local guides.  The itinerary provides a good mix of walking in great scenery with time spent exploring the cities of Bosnia. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? The rafting trip down the Neretva River.  This was my first experience of white water rafting and I found it exhilarating.  The Neretva canyon itself is magnificent - with plenty of rapids punctuated by really peaceful sections between vertical rock walls. The walking in the Sudjeska National Park was a wonderful experience - rocky peaks and grassy hills.  It was so quiet you almost felt that our party had the mountains to ourselves. What did you think of your group leader? Samer was simply outstanding - the best guide I have had on any of my trips.  He is extremely knowledgeable about his country and provides a very balanced view of its recent history.  He has a great love for the mountains of Bosnia and is sure to inspire you.  He ensured that all the trip arrangements went smoothly and is an extremely patient guy - despite us probably asking the same questions several times over. During our visit to Bosnia Samer was ably assisted by Srdjan - a tower of strength, whose "Tardis" like rucksack produced flasks of hot water (tea/coffee), biscuits, fruit and all manner of nibbles to keep us going on the walking days. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Go with an open mind and do not expect gourmet cuisine (especially at the start of the holiday in the first two hotels).  The restaurants in Sarajevo and Mostar are very good, however, and the prices cheap.  Is there anything else you would like to add? Book today!

Excellent! Very well organised, extremely interesting and informative. The most famous ancient sites in Greece mixed with lots of cultural activities and a variety of geographical areas. Our tour director, Nikos Kontogiannis, was superb. Nikos has a great sense of humour, is extremely knowledgable and an excellent organiser. We were very impressed!

We had an excellent experience. Everything was well organized. The tour company was very receptive to any questions. The guide was very knowledgeable. A couple of the hotels were just OK, but in general, they were just up to our standards. I will say that having an electric car was somehow stressful as our guide could not always find a place to recharge the car at night. He had to go back several times and wait for hours. It made his days very long as it had already been our driver and our guide all day.

Your Testimonials

We enjoyed our time with Esmer, who is so experienced in the history of Mostar and the places that he brought us around during the day tour. He is so well-verse in the history that even our driver the next day recognised his name and praised Esmer for his extensive knowledge.

Thank you so much for the amazing day! Our guide Esmer did a fantastic job, he was able to answer all our questions, told a lot of very interesting stories and entertained us with a great music playlist in the car, which I am still listening to.

The tour was fantastic! Suitable for myself in my 20s and my older parents. Esmer was very attentive and shared so much information about Bosnia in terms of geography and history. Esmer shared moving stories that taught us a lot.

Entry, Exit and Visa Requirements

Visit the  Embassy of Bosnia and Herzegovina  website for the most current visa information.

You need a passport valid for at least three months past your planned date of departure.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will deny entry to U.S. passport holders who attempt to enter on expired U.S. passports or U.S. passports which were previously reported as lost or stolen.

U.S. citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days total within a period of six months from the date of first entry.

Bosnia and Herzegovina does not issue visas to U.S. travelers prior to travel for any length of stay or purpose of travel, including diplomatic assignments.

Airlines may deny boarding to travelers on a one-way ticket or a ticket with a return date beyond three months from the date of arrival. Verify with the airline before travel.

If staying in a private residence for three or more days, you or your host must register your stay with the local police or field office of the Department for Foreigners within 24 hours of arrival.

Temporary Residence Permits:

U.S. citizens staying more than 90 days must apply for a temporary residence permit from the local field office of the Department for Foreigners of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Ministry of Security. The process is complex. Visit the  Department for Foreigners of the Ministry of Security website  for detailed information and requirements.

You are required to submit a police report from your local, U.S. police department certifying you have no criminal record. This must be issued within 6 months of the application.

After all application requirements are met, a months-long delay can occur before a residence permit is issued. U.S. citizens who submit complete applications may remain in Bosnia and Herzegovina while awaiting decisions.

The maximum duration of a temporary residence permit is 12 months (renewals are possible).

Your U.S. passport must be valid for at least three months after the end of the requested temporary residence permit period.

Safety and Security

Terrorism :  Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking soft targets and are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack – including knives, firearms, rudimentary explosive devices, and vehicles – to more effectively target crowds. Frequently, their aim is unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.)

• Hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists
• Places of worship
• Shopping malls and markets
• Public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights)

 Violent incidents :

• Local criminals use firearms and explosives to settle disputes, with the majority of incidents involving improvised explosives in Sarajevo occurring after dark. The foreign community is rarely targeted, but collateral damage can occur.
• See LGBTQI+ Travelers, below, for information regarding recent violent incidents targeting members of the LGBTQI+ community.

For more information, see our  Terrorism  page.

Crime : The overall crime rate for the country is high, and Sarajevo has a high rate of property-related crime.

• The most common criminal activities in Sarajevo are robberies, residential break-ins, vehicle break-ins and theft, and pickpocketing.
• Pickpocketing occurs in areas frequented by tourists in Sarajevo.
• Be alert at all times, especially after dark and in locations frequented by tourists, such as cafés, parking garages, shopping areas, and restaurants.
• Take normal precautions to protect your property from theft and employ personal security measures, such as traveling in groups and staying in well-lit areas after dark.
• Avoid carrying large sums of money.
• People wearing backpacks stand out and attract the attention of pickpockets.

Landmines :

• Landmine explosions have injured over 1,200 and killed over 600 people in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 1995.
• Minefields, active landmines, and unexploded ordnances are a threat throughout the country and deaths from explosions have occurred as recently as March 2023.
• Stay on hard surfaced areas and out of abandoned buildings.  Observe mine warning signs throughout the country.  Consult with the latest landmine maps via the  Bosnia and Herzegovina Mine Action Center . Regardless of an area’s mine status, avoid unmarked trails.
• For more information about landmines and unexploded ordinance, please visit the website of the  Bosnia and Herzegovina Mine Action Center .

Demonstrations  can occur anywhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They may take place in response to political or economic issues, on politically significant holidays, and during international or sporting events. 

• Demonstrations can be unpredictable. Avoid areas around protests and demonstrations. 
• Check local media for updates and traffic advisories.
• Large demonstrations, even if peaceful, can create traffic congestion and lead to closures of public transportation, roadways, and sidewalks.

Soccer matches :

• Rival fans occasionally fight and cause property damage and physical injuries. Plan ahead to avoid the area.
• Physical confrontations surrounding soccer matches have included  right-wing nationalist, racist, or anti-LGBTQI+ violence.
• Large groups of soccer fans can quickly become violent. Avoid crowds and large groups.
• Large crowds before and after matches can create significant traffic congestion, crowding at drinking and eating establishments, and problems for pedestrians. Road and sidewalk closures are common.

Feral dogs :

• Avoid stray dogs. Packs or individual dog attacks occur in urban and rural areas and can be unpredictable.
• Though emergency medical facilities can treat dog bites and rabies vaccines are available, travelers should consider a series of pre-exposure rabies vaccinations prior to arrival.
• For further information, please consult the  CDC’s information on rabies .

International Financial Scams : See the  Department of State  and the  FBI  pages for information.

Victims of Crime : U.S. citizen victims of sexual assault are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for assistance. Report crimes to the local police at 122 and contact the U.S. Embassy at (387) 33 704 000. Remember that local authorities are responsible for investigating and prosecuting crimes.

• Provide an emergency loan for repatriation to the United States and/or limited medical support in cases of destitution
• Help you find accommodation and arrange flights home
• Replace a stolen or lost passport

Domestic Violence : U.S. citizen victims of domestic violence may contact the Embassy for assistance but should also report incidents to the police in the area where the incident occurred.

Tourism : The tourism industry is unevenly regulated, and safety inspections for equipment and facilities are infrequent. Hazardous areas/activities are not always identified with appropriate signage, and staff may not be trained or certified.

Financial Services/Transactions :

• The official currency in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the Convertible Mark (KM or BAM), which is pegged to the euro at approximately 2 KM = 1 euro.

LGBTQI+ Travelers : There are no current legal restrictions on same-sex sexual relations or the organization of LGBTQI+ events in Bosnia and Herzegovina, although elected officials in the Republika Srpska have proposed banning LGBTQI+ rights activists from holding events at, visiting, or working in educational institutions.  Elected officials have also said that they will not permit any LGBTQI+ events in the Republika Srpska entity.

• Discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is widespread in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 
• Acts of violence and harassment targeting LGBTQI+ individuals or organizations supporting LGBTQI+ rights have occurred, and police were sometimes slow to respond or failed to investigate the incidents and prosecute perpetrators.
• Government officials have made derogatory comments about LGBTQI+ persons and about organizations promoting human rights.
• While the laws at the state, entity, and Brcko District levels prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, authorities have not fully enforced them. Some elected officials have proposed laws to restrict the activities of LGBTQI+ rights groups.
• Pride event participants have been threatened in the past and participants should expect a heavy police presence.
• See our  LGBTQI+ Travel Information  page and section six of our  Human Rights report  for further details.

Travelers with Disabilities :  Bosnia and Herzegovina’s laws prohibit discrimination against persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, or mental disabilities, but the law is only partially enforced, and discrimination continues.  

• Social acceptance of persons with disabilities is not as prevalent as in the United States. The most common type of accessibility is wheelchair accessibility to public buildings.
• Accessibility is limited in urban public transportation, lodging, and communication/information and generally unavailable outside urban areas.
• There is limited availability of sign language interpreters, personal assistants, or other related services. Access to special rental, repair, or replacement equipment is very limited.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Off the Grid: Sally breaks down USA TODAY's daily crossword puzzle, Ham Sandwiches

There are spoilers ahead. You might want to solve today's puzzle before reading further! Ham Sandwiches

Constructor: Chandi Deitmer

Editor : Amanda Rafkin

What I Learned from Today’s Puzzle

• UMA (52A: "Gattaca" actor Thurman) Gattaca is a 1997 science fiction movie about a future society where genetic selection is used to make sure children inherit the best traits of their parents. The movie's title is based on the letters G, A, T, and C, representing the four bases of DNA: guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine. In this world, genetic discrimination against those that were not conceived using genetic selection is illegal, but happens anyway. UMA Thurman stars in the movie alongside Ethan Hawke, Jude Law, and Loren Dean.

Random Thoughts & Interesting Things

• SEA (1A: Aegean or Adriatic, e.g.) The Aegean SEA is located off of the Mediterranean SEA, between Europe and Asia. The Aegean SEA borders Greece and Turkey. The Adriatic SEA is also an arm of the Mediterranean SEA. The Adriatic SEA is bordered by Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Albania.
• ORES (8A: Resources earned from mountain territories in Catan) Catan is a board game that involves collecting and trading resources. The hexagonal tiles that form the game board depict terrains that produce different resources. As the clue informs us, ORES are produced by mountain tiles.
• HANNAH STORM (19A: SportsCenter anchor who was the first play-by-play announcer for the WNBA) HANNAH STORM is one of the anchors of  SportsCenter  on ESPN. As the clue informs us, she was the first play-by-play announcer for the WNBA; that was in 1997. In 2018, HANNAH STORM was part of the first female duo, with Andrea Kremer, to call an NFL game. That occurred during Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime.
• SITTERS (24A: Supervisors for kids or cats) As you've probably picked up on, I am a fan of inserting cat-content into a crossword whenever possible, and this clue made me smile. It just so happens that the person who is a SITTER for our cat, Willow, when my husband and I are away used to be a SITTER for our children when they were young. Here's a photo of Willow (looking especially cute, I think!) peeking out from the shower.
• EST (26A: "___ 1892" (line on A&F shirts)) Ambercrombie & Fitch (A&F) is a clothing retailer. The company was founded in 1892, which is why many of their shirts have a line that reads "EST 1892." The abbreviation of the company's name in the clue alerts us that the answer will be an abbreviation.
• MINI-ME (31A: Child who looks just like you) This is a fun answer. Genetics are an interesting thing, which reminds me of the clue for UMA that I discussed above.
• HACKTIVISM (34A: Techie's means of promoting social change) HACKTIVISM is a portmanteau of the words "hack" and "activism." HACTIVISM refers to the use of hacking, or other computer-based techniques, as a form of civil disobedience in an attempt to advocate for social change.
• RBG (45A: "Notorious" former justice) Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020), known as RBG, was a member of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993-2020, and a life-long advocate for gender equality and women's rights. In 2013, Shana Khiznik (who was a law student at New York University), was inspired by a dissent written by Ruth Bader Ginsburg that defended voting rights, and created a Tumblr account as "the Notorious RBG." The nickname was a takeoff on the name of the rapper Notorious B.I.G. The nickname stuck, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg embraced it. In 1988, Shana Khiznik co-authored  Notorious R.B.G.: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg . I will always be happy to see an RBG reference in a puzzle. 
• AVIARY (50A: Enclosure likely to have feathers on its floor) This clue threw me for a bit because I felt like I should know the answer but it was just out of my reach. "Bird cage," and "chicken coop," came to mind, but didn't fit. I was on the right track, however, and eventually crossing answers helped me get to AVIARY, a large enclosure for birds that provides space for them to fly.
• EMUS (5D: Large birds with three toes) Speaking of birds, EMUS cannot fly, but they do have three toes on each foot. Ostriches, on the other hand, have two toes on each foot.
• TAHOE (12D: Lake known for its nearby skiing) Lake TAHOE is located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The lake straddles the state lines of California and Nevada.
• MTV (21D: Network that aired "Cribs") Cribs is an MTV show that features tours of celebrity's private homes.
• TITULAR (37D: ___ character (common protagonist)) Since I write about a number of TV shows, movies, and books that are mentioned in the puzzles, I feel like I use the phrase "TITULAR character" quite a bit. In fact, I used the phrase just yesterday !
• NIH (42D: Bethesda-based research org.) The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is located in Bethesda, Maryland. The NIH, founded in the late 1880s, is the U.S. government agency responsible for biomedical and public health research.

Crossword Puzzle Theme Synopsis

• HANNAH STORM (19A: SportsCenter anchor who was the first play-by-play announcer for the WNBA)
• HACKTIVISM (34A: Techie's means of promoting social change)
• HAPPY MEDIUM (53A: Reasonable compromise)

Each theme answer is SANDWICHed within the letters of the word HAM: HA NNAH STOR M , HA CKTIVIS M , and HA PPY MEDIU M .

Is anybody else hungry for a HAM SANDWICH? This is an enjoyable theme with an excellent set of theme answers. I wonder what other types of SANDWICHES would lend themselves to this type of theme – egg, BLT, club, perhaps? Thank you, Chandi, for this enjoyable puzzle.
