So, where is this mystical, beautiful, affordable paradise?

“So I've just come back from four days in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is a country in the Balkans in Eastern Europe,” Em says.

“I only spent £158.44 in total for everything including flights, accommodation, food, activities, transport. Literally everything.”

And judging by Em’s video, that looks to be an absolute bargain as she shows off stunning scenery, beautiful old architecture and quaint hillside towns.

“So it definitely lives up to the reputation of being one of the cheapest countries to visit in Europe,” she continues. “We stayed in the capital of Sarajevo, which is a beautiful city and it felt really safe.”

She added: “The locals were very friendly. Even the bus drivers. The whole country is filled with stunning scenery, mountains, rivers, lakes and waterfalls.

“If you come to Bosnia you also have to visit Mostar, which is a small city about two hours away from the capital on the train. So it's an easy day trip, but this was the highlight of the trip for me.

“The city felt so magical and it was perfect base to explore for hours. People also jumped off the bridge here into the river, which was interesting too.

“Overall, it was an amazing trip and I definitely wanted more than the four days I had here so this is somewhere I'll definitely be revisiting to explore more.”

We’ve checked it out for ourselves, and Ryanair currently has flights to Sarajevo International Airport for as little as £19.99 from London Stansted Airport.
