  • The Balkans are one of the Europe's most beautiful and fascinating regions. From the Coast of Croatia, to the medieval bridges of Bosnia, the Balkans have so much to offer. I've traveled to the South Eastern Europe several times and I want to show you my favorite places! Where is your favorite place in the Balkans?

      Because of western europe. When top gear explored Romania they didn't go on the short way to destination(Transfăgărășan),they did go on the longer way, full of gypsies and showed up at TV, they don't understand gypsies are not romanians.

      ​@@Cojo2701 That's exotic for tourists. And problem for locals. But still, I've been on many places on 5 continents. And I feel great almost anywhere on Balkans. Even if not everything is what it should be. Never been in Romania, though. Shame on me. Greetings from south of Danube.

    That's a reallllly tough one. The Balkans are blessed with so many beautiful places: elegant Ljubljana, fairytale Bled, Novi Sad, Beograd, Mostar, Zadar, Dubrovnik, Ohrid, Tirana and the Albanian coast, Budva, Kotor, Plovdiv, Melnik, Veliko Tarnovo, Nesebar, Tryavna, Thessaloniki, Athens, Chania, Brasov, Sigisoara, Cluj-Napoca....the list is eternal and I am 101% sure I missed a lot. Amazing video but a 9-minute video is definitely not enough.

      Ryan Shirley hi Ryan, there are so many places to check out: I highly recommend “Sutjeska National park” it is where Maglić the highest mountain in Bosnia is with a total of 2,386meters. If you get a chance you should also check out the wild horses in Livno a really beautiful sight to experience. Sarajevo the capital city is the Jerusalem of Europe, and There is so much to see and experience. Amazing cities to visit are Jaice, Trebinje and very biased my hometown Tuzla (the only salt lakes in europe specifically). I assure you would enjoy Počitelj as well. A very interesting place is the most remote village in Bosnia by the name Lukomir. I could go on but these are absolutely worthy to see and experience.
      Same goes for my neighbor countries Serbia and Croatia but I will let natives from there give you their hidden gems.

    Très belle video. Il y a tellement d'endroits magnifiques dans les Balkans que c'est difficile de faire un top 10 sans oublier personne. Certains pays n'apparaissent pas dans ce film, mais çà ne veut pas dire qu'il n'y a pas de superbes paysages à visiter.
    J'ai déjà eu la chance de visiter de nombreux sites que l'on voit sur cette video : Kotor, Dubrovnik, Trebinje, Mostar, Pula, Bled, Bran, etc... Par contre, je ne connais pas encore la Grece et la Bulgarie.
    Parmi les endroits qu'on ne voit pas ici mais que je recommande, on peut citer :
    les chutes de la Krka, Makarska, l'île de Krk ou le parc de Plakenica en Croatie.
    Budva, le mont Lovcen ou le lac de Skadar au Montenegro.
    En Serbie, j'aime bien la ville de Novi Sad avec la forteresse de Petrovaradin.
    En Slovénie, il n'y a que quelques kilometres de côte, mais la petite ville de Piran mérite une visite.
    Enfin, un endroit où je ne suis encore jamais allé, mais qui je pense doit être sympa, c'est le lac d'Ohrid en Macédoine.

      Meni takodjer nije mrsko objasniti i cesto objasnim da je Hercegovina samo juzni dio Bosne. Jako mi smeta kada bosanski kanali, na prognozi vremena, odvoje Bosnu od Hercegovine, kao da se Bosna zavrsava tamo negdje u Konjicu. Jako mnogo onih ljudi, koji BiH smatraju svojom domovinom, takodjer ne znaju da je Hercegovina ustvari Bosna pa tako i oni odvajaju Bosnu od Hercegovine i direktno idu na ruku negatorima Bosne, koji pokusavaju Bosnu predstaviti kao ''regiju'' a ne drzavu, negirajuci joj tako drzavnost i svojatajuci je u nekakve ''hrvatske ili srpske'' regije. Onda neznalicama objasnim da ''regija Bosna'' defacto posjeduje srpske teritorije (istocna Hercegovina) i hrvatske teritorije (Bihac i okolina ili Turska Hrvatska). Toliko o ''regiji'' Bosni 💪🏼😂😂 koji luzeri!!
      Uglavnom, svaki bosanski Ljiljan ima svoju regiju, njih sest... Posavina, Hercegovina, Srednja (Vrh) Bosna, Podrinje, Krajina i sesti Ljiljan Sandzak ❤ ⚜⚜⚜👆🏼⚜⚜⚜ ❤
      P.S. Cekam dan kada ce neko ponosan i castan potegnuti pitanje oko naziva drzave i ispraviti nepravdu u imenu nase domovine. Hercegovina, iako mozda historijski gledajuci, najslavnija regija Bosne, nema sta traziti u imenu drzave. Bez da zelim potcijeniti susjede, vise je Hercegovina Bosna, nego sto ce Dalmacija ili Slavonija ikada biti Hrvatska. Misli da ti tacno shvatas sta zelim zadnjom recenicom kazati.
      Svim svojim srcem volim Krajinu i krajiske Bosnjake, kao i ostale patriote Krajine, koje takodjer od milja volim osloviti sa Ljuti Krajisnici, jer su pruzili hrabar otpor tokom agresije '92-'95 pa cu zato opet kazati, ljubi brat Posavac sve moje lijepe Krajisnike 🙋🏼‍♂️✌
