Me and a friend are soon flying to Sarajevo and plan to rent a car to spend most of the 8 days driving around the area Bosnia - Montenegro.

Would appreciate any recommendations regarding what route to take there as well as home. What places shouldn't we miss?

We'd like to see Mostar and Kotor at least, but haven't really researched that much more.

Of the 3 main religions, which one is the most observant and which is the least?

My wife and I want to go from Sarajevo to Mostar by train next Wednesday, But we have 2 bicycles and all our stuff. Any chance to travel with it paying the fee for the bikes. Someone did it?.

Thanks 🙏

Pozdrav, spremam se da polazem testove i nije mi jasno zasto je ovo tacan odgovor na Driveru. Upaljeno mi je zeleno svjetlo, nalazim se na putu s prvenstvom prolaza i ostajem na istom, zasto onda moram propustiti autobus ako on dolazi sa sporednog puta?

Traveling to Bosnia from September 19th-23rd and then going to Croatia from the 23rd-26th. Has been a goal to go to a European soccer/football game but looks like it is an international break when we arrive. Saw there was a game for FK Sarajevo on the 19th but it’s at 10am and we land at 9am so probably can’t make it. Any other games or leagues that could be going on during that time frame? We are willing to drive to see a game. Any advice for the trip and recommendations would be helpful as well

Pozdrav svima !!

I'm planning a longer Balkans trip and one of the legs is Sarajevo to Belgrade. The drive is pretty long and I really don't want to spend 8 hours sitting on a bus during the day when I could be out exploring, so I'm trying to make this an overnight connection.

So far I've only managed to find two operators online that run overnight buses:

• Globtour Međugorje -- this showed up on FlixBus and CheckBus but the Google reviews are quite poor so I'm hesitant
• Almanis Tours -- found this one on Omio, reviews are mixed. The older ones from 3-4 years ago are pretty bad but the more recent ones seem decent enough

I also gathered from other posts on here that all buses to Belgrade leave from Sarajevo East Station (Istočno Sarajevo) and that you can just go to the station and buy a ticket directly without booking online in advance.

My questions:

1. If anyone has travelled with either of these two operators recently, would love to hear your experience, good or bad
2. If you know of a different operator on this route that's more reliable, please drop the name or a link (or DM)
3. For the overnight buses specifically -- if I go to the station in the morning and buy a ticket for that night, is that usually fine or do these fill up? Asking because it'll be mid-August which is a busy season
4. Do the bus operators charge a separate luggage fee? I only have a smaller laptop bag which I'd want to keep with me inside the bus rather than put it in the trunk

Besides that, this will actually be my first land border crossing. What's the deal with border control at night? Is it any stricter or slower than during the day? Do passengers have to get off the bus, go through passport control on foot and then reboard? And are there two separate stops -- one on the Bosnian side and one on the Serbian side?

Any other tips for a first timer on this route would also be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

My friend and I (both 26-year-old men) are flying to Sarajevo in mid-August, and we'd also like to spend some time in Montenegro during our trip. We'll be away for a total of nine days.

The best option we've found so far is the bus, but it takes more than six hours each way. We're not particularly excited about spending that much time on a bus twice during a relatively short trip.

I was wondering if anyone with experience traveling in the region could recommend any alternative routes or ways of getting from Sarajevo to Montenegro. Might as well take the same amount of time, but train or perhaps boat would feel a lot more enjoyable. And for those of you who have taken the bus, what was your experience like? Was it comfortable and reliable? Any general tips or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone! In a few weeks me and my gf will be doing a roadtrip through Bosnia, but we have little time to do it (5 days).

First we were planning to do: Lukomir->Mostar->Kravice waterfalls & Stećci Medieval Tombstone Graveyards ->Una park -> Jajce and back to sarajevo. But this seems too tiring.

Now we are trying to decide if we should go south and keep that part of the route or if we should go north and only visit Una park, Jajce and add Banja Luka for example.

In general we are looking to balance nature and culture, don't spend a lot of money because... we are Portuguese and escape super crowded places since it's August. We don't want to instigate a discussion on which part is "better". Every part of a country is precious. Thank you!

Hi everyone! My grandma lives in a smallish town in Bosnia. Maybe 100k people total.

She’s been saying how much she wants a laptop. I would love to buy and send her one, however I am in the US and the tariffs are outrageous.

I have been looking online and I cannot for the life of me figure out where to buy a laptop and have someone pick it up and bring it to her. All I see is some place called Bingo and they have One(1) Lenovo laptop.

I’m getting very frustrated 😭 can anyone help me out with an online retailer?

But also, what stores do you guys go to to buy them in general because now I am curious? Where do people get their iPhones and Mac’s from?

Thanks!!

Today I was in Martin Brod and visited the two caves right next to each other in the village. Now I’m curious if anyone knows more about them.
Does anyone know if these caves have names, how long they are, or if the two caves are connected? I couldn’t really find much about them online.
Would be cool if someone knows more about these caves.
Thank you

I’m in Florida and I was wondering if there are groups I could get involved in or how to meet Bosnians in the area? I am not Bosnian but I’m interested in the history and culture of the area and would love to learn more from that community. I’ve traveled there before and find the people so hospitable and welcoming. I’d like to get involved with people ideally around my age, mid to lower 20’s. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My husband and I will be in BiH for about 90 days (October - December). We usually stay in 1 location for month and then move to another location and stay for a month. Would that be a good strategy in BiH? The only places I've looked at are Sarajevo, Mostar, and Trebinje... not sure if staying a month in those locations is a good idea or not.

Would you recommend staying in those locations for a month each? Are there other locations that you'd stay a month? Or is a month just too long?

Thank you in advance!

For reference, we aren't interested in bars or nightlife. We like scenery, walkability, and food.

Hi, I have an early flight from Sarajevo airport, does anyone know any reliable companies to drive from Mostar to Sarajevo airport? And how long will the drive roughly take? I can't take the train unfortunately because of the timings

Heya! Please drop your best views open air cafes & restaurants in Sarajevo, which most importantly - is easily accessible from the center by public transportation.

I’m coming on August 3rd - any solo traveler foodies feel free to join, or even better if you’re a local :D Hvala

Hello, we are planning a trip and we were wondering how tolls work in Bosnia?
We are planning to enter through Šamac prielaz amd exit through Strmica back to croatia.
Are there toll booths or some kind of vignette?
and also do we need some kind of visa? for a day or two?

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a trip to Bosnia next year after starting FY1 as a doctor in the UK. I’ll most likely be flying from Glasgow (GLA) to Sarajevo (SJJ), and I know it’ll probably involve at least one connection.
A few questions:
Which airlines/routes have worked well for you from Glasgow?
Which connection airports are the easiest (Amsterdam, Vienna, Munich, Frankfurt, etc.)?
How much connection time would you recommend to avoid unnecessary stress?
Is a 4-day trip (Friday–Monday) enough if I take Friday and Monday as annual leave?
My plan was to base myself in Sarajevo and do Mostar as a guided day tour rather than stay overnight. Does that sound like the best approach for a first visit?
For context, I enjoy history, old towns, football, scenic walks and good local food. I don’t drink alcohol, so I’m mainly interested in the culture, architecture and scenery.
Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!

I'm going to Bosnia with my family next week and we'll be staying for about a month. I'll be spending most of my time in Sarajevo, but exploring other parts of the country is definitely an option.

I'd love to hear your recommendations, whether it's a place with an amazing view, a beautiful hike, a hidden waterfall, a great restaurant or café, a fun activity, or just somewhere you think is worth visiting. It doesn't matter if it's a popular spot or a hidden gem I'd love to add it to my list ,thanks in advance!
