What to visit in Goa?

About Goa
Goa is located in southwest India, bounded by Maharashtra to the north and Karnataka to the east and south, while the Arabian Sea forms its western coast. It is India's smallest state by area and the fourth smallest by population. Goa is one of India's richest states with a GDP per capita two and a half times that of the country. It was ranked the best placed state by the Eleventh Finance Commission for its infrastructure and ranked on top for the best quality of life in India by the National Commission on Population based on the 12 Indicators.
Goa is visited by large numbers of international and domestic tourists each year for its beaches, places of worship and world heritage architecture. It has rich flora and fauna, owing to its location on the Western Ghatsrange, a biodiversity hotspot.

Where to go in Bosnia?

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Sometimes called Bosnia-Herzegovina or Bosnia & Herzegovina, is a country in Southeastern Europe located on the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and the northeast is predominantly flatland. The inland is a geographically larger region and has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers 
and cold and snowy winters. The southern tip of the country 
has a Mediterranean climate and plain topography.

What to do in Bosnia

Tunnel Museum

The most visceral of Sarajevo's many 1990s war-experience 'attractions', this unmissable museum's centerpiece and raison d'être is a short section of the 1m wide, 1.6m high hand-dug tunnel under the airport runway which acted as the city's lifeline to the outside world during the 1992–95 siege, when Sarajevo was virtually surrounded by Serb forces.

Vratnik
Built in the 1720s and reinforced in 1816, Vratnik Citadel once enclosed a whole area of the upper city. Patchy remnants of wall fragments, military ruins and gatehouses remain. The urban area is appealingly unnourished with many small mosques and tile-roofed houses, and there are several superb viewpoints. Start a visit with a 3KM taxi hop up to the graffiti-daubed Bijela Tabija fortress ruin-viewpoint (or take buses 52 or 55 to Višegradski Kapija gatehouse) then walk back.

Pyramid of the Sun

Is Visoko's 250m-high Visočica Hill in fact the World's Greatest Pyramid? That's the intriguing if widely discredited theory of Semir Osmanagic, an American-Bosnian Indiana Jones–style researcher who claims it was built approximately 12,000 years ago by a long-disappeared super culture.

Tekija

Blagaj's signature attraction is this pretty half-timbered Dervish House standing beside the surreally blue-green Buna River where it gushes out of a cliff-cave. Upstairs the Tekija's wobbly wooden interior has some attractive woodwork and a fine ceiling in the Firdevs room.
