The bridge at Mostar, Sarajevo’s Ottoman bazaar, the Kravice waterfalls. Bosnia and Herzegovina doesn’t hide its recent history, it’s there in the façades, and that frankness is part of what you come to see.

Travel notes for Bosnia and Herzegovina

BA / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Bosnia and Herzegovina touches 3 countries by land, and that changes the planning: flying in and out of the same airport is a choice here, not an obligation.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The first place being connected pays off is passport control, when they ask for your hotel address and it’s sitting in your email. Plans run from 1 GB to 50 GB, valid up to 90 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. An Ozu eSIM installs before you fly and wakes up when you touch down.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

In Bosnia and Herzegovina the calendar works the European way: July and August are the expensive, crowded part. November and February the cheap, cold one. The months in between are where the trick is.

MONEY

Paying your way

When a card machine or an ATM asks whether you want to pay in your own currency, say no: that’s dynamic currency conversion and the rate is always worse for you. Pay in the local currency every time, and leave the airport exchange desk as a last resort.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Travel insurance looks like an expense until the day it isn’t: one night in a hospital abroad costs numbers you don’t expect. Sort it before you book, and check whether your card already includes some: sometimes it does, and almost nobody looks.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

Learn four words: hello, thank you, please and sorry. They’re not for communicating, they’re for something else: people’s faces change when you try, and that opens more doors than any app.

Cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina

BA / 1

SarajevoSJJSarajevo is a city wedged into a narrow valley where within three hundred metres stand an Ottoman mosque, a Catholic cathedral, an Orthodox one and a synagogue, which is why it has been called the Jerusalem of Europe for a century. It is also where the First World War began, on a bridge that is still there, and where the longest siege of a capital in modern warfare was endured, less than thirty years ago.8 routes · getting there
