The Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina is on the Balkan Peninsula and is created by the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia. This happened on April 5, 1992. The capital of Bosnia Herzegovina is Sarajevo. The country is bordered by Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro. In addition Bosnia Herzegovina has 24 kilometer coastline on the Adriatic Sea. A well-known seaside resort with beach is Neum, a lot of sun, especially in many hotels along the coast with prices that are significantly lower than those in Croatia. Other cities with tourist attractions are Mostar, Banja Luka, Bihaæ, Brèko, Trebinje and Tuzla. The mountains in Bosnia-Herzegovina are almost always coverred with snow. Around Sarajevo are many winter sports facilities which were modernized in recent years (since the Winter Olympics of 1984). Winter sports facilities are also around the Vlašiæ Hill in the vicinity of Zenica.

The easy and low cost way of travelling. Hostels do not only provide sleeping but new friendships as well. Hostels, also called youth hostels, provide short-term accommodation to travellers or backpackers, particularly encouraging outdoor activities and cultural exchange for the young. Hostels are also often called backpackers' hostels (or backpackers' for short), particularly in Australia and New Zealand. In a hostel guests often rent a bed (sometimes a bunk bed) in a dormitory and share common bathroom, kitchen, and lounge rooms. Private rooms are often available. The main benefits of a hostel are firstly the low cost of the accommodation compared to alternatives such as hotels, and that one gets to meet other travellers from all over the world. Hostels are usually less formal and less expensive than hotels. They are most frequently used by young travellers. In the past many hostels imposed age limits, but today it is more common for hostels to accept guests of all ages. Despite the openness of modern hostels, the majority of guests are traditionally and overwhelmingly between the ages of 18 and 26.
