All about Bosnia
When to Visit
Bosnia’s diverse climate means there’s something for everyone throughout the year. The best time to visit is during spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant, and outdoor activities are enjoyable. Summer (July to August) is also a good time, especially if you plan to visit mountain resorts or enjoy rafting on the Neretva River, though temperatures can rise in lowland areas. Winter (December to February) is ideal for those interested in skiing, as Bosnia has excellent and affordable ski resorts like Jahorina and Bjelašnica.
Getting Around
Traveling around Bosnia is relatively straightforward, with good bus and train connections between major cities like Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banja Luka. Buses are the primary mode of transport and are reliable for both intercity and regional travel. Renting a car is a great option if you want to explore rural areas, national parks, and scenic mountain routes. Roads are generally in good condition, though be prepared for winding mountain drives. Taxis are also affordable but always agree on the fare in advance.
Traveler Tips
Currency: Bosnia uses the Convertible Mark (BAM), but Euros are sometimes accepted in tourist areas. Language: Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian are spoken, but English is widely understood in major cities. Local Cuisine: Don’t miss trying ćevapi, grilled minced meat sausages, and burek, a savory pastry filled with meat or cheese. Safety: Bosnia is generally safe for tourists, but it’s best to stay on marked trails in rural areas due to leftover landmines from past conflicts. Tipping: A 10% tip is appreciated in restaurants.
