Konjic, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Capital City

This Bosnian town of 25,148 people is no tourist idyll. The tax burden is heavy, and shelling from the Bosnian War in the 1990s left lasting scars on infrastructure. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, as the city struggles to recover from the conflict. Still, Konjic's natural beauty - including the mighty Neretva River and stunning Prenj mountain - make it a draw for hardy outdoor enthusiasts willing to navigate the challenges.
