Spring is especially beautiful, when nature turns green and the rivers and waterfalls are full of water.
April and May are excellent for Sarajevo, Mostar, Jajce and round trips through the country.
The mountains, meanwhile, offer much more pleasant temperatures.
Temperatures are generally better suited to full-day sightseeing than in the hottest part of summer.
June brings longer days and is ideal for combining cities with outdoor activities.
July and August can be very hot in Herzegovina, especially in Mostar.
It's best to plan sightseeing early in the morning or later in the afternoon.
The mountains, meanwhile, offer much more pleasant temperatures.
September is one of the best months for travelling through the whole country. The summer heat starts to ease and the days are still long enough.
Autumn brings fantastic colours to the mountains and forests. It's a great time for food, photography and slower tours.
Winter completely changes the character of the destination. Sarajevo takes on a special atmosphere, while Jahorina, Bjelašnica and other mountains draw snow lovers.
The best time therefore depends on the kind of trip you want.
For a classic round trip, spring and early autumn offer perhaps the best balance.
For an active holiday, summer is excellent in the mountain regions.
For a winter holiday, just swap your sneakers for skis.
