Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country located in Southeastern Europe and situated on the Balkan Peninsula. It is a former Yugoslav country and Sarajevo is the capital and largest city. If you ever travel to this country, these are the souvenirs you can bring home from your trip.

Copperware

In the 14th century, Bosnia was annexed into the Ottoman Empire and under whose rule it remained for almost five centuries, until the late 19th century. During the rule of the Ottomans the copperware became popular in Bosnia. Plate, coffee pots, ornaments, the choice is yours! However, not everything is made by hand. So, if you want a real hand-made souvenir, only buy from the stalls where you can see people making them.
