What Wikivoyage says to see

Bosnia has beautiful countryside. The best place to travel is to Osman's old house. It is wonderful. The first place to visit is the square at the center of the old town. This is the site of the Tuzla Massacre, where 72 young people were killed in 1995. Ask a local to translate the poem carved into the monument. Then walk over to the park where the 72 young people are buried.
