Sarajevo Travel Forum

Hi, I am a graduate student from canada. I will be travelling to Sarajevo from end July to end August to conduct some research on ethnic diversity and youth schooling outcomes. I will need a translator on an ad hoc basis (probably 1-2 weeks in total) to help out with translating some documents/data, and also when I meet staff from the statistical institutes. I will also travel to Mostar, Banja Luka, and possibly Tuzla.

I'm hoping to engage an university student who might be interested, and who speaks and read English/Serbo-Croatian. payment is negotiable. does anyone know anyone who might be interested/available? please let me know, thanks!!!

Hi, I am a visual artist from the Netherlands and will be traveling to Belgrado, Serbia and Sarajevo, Bosnia end of July for a week to film for an art project. I am planning to make portraits of people close to their home and ask them what HOME means to them. The film will contain 100 portraits of people from all over the world. The film will be shown at a famous museum of contemporary arts in the Netherlands. Who would like to accompany me and my cameraman during those days. I am looking for someone who speaks both Serbian / English or Bosnian/Croation and English And preferably who knows some interesting people to film.
We like to film all different kinds of people, rich, poor, ugly, beautiful, plain, eccentric you name it, people who have an interesting story to tell about their home at different locations.
Who can help me? Regards Frederik

Hi. I plan to travel to Sarajevo in June 2008. I would appreciate information (travel time and frequency) and approximate cost on train connection from Milan to Sarajevo (via Mostar?). Should I expect Sarajevo and Mostar to have many tourists in June? Could somebody recommend good hotels (do not need fancy but a clean one in each city, located in a nice area). Do I need to make train and hotel reservations in advance? Thanks for any help. Pablo

Any online street search map for Sarajevo, Bosnia ?

L.S.,
In September 2008 a group of 35 people will visit Sarajevo for a few days.
The programme is allready fixed.
For a few small trips (airport-Hotel v.v. and from the Center to a suburb v.v.) we will need bus-transportation.
Who can forward me addresses and phone-numbers of private buscompanies in Sarajevo for this purpose?
Looking forward to your replies!!

Hi,

I was planning on renting a car in Zagreb and driving around Croatia and then crossing the border and driving the car to Sarajevo. I would leave the car in Sarajevo and fly to London from there.

Is this ok or a bad approach? I am allowed to rent a car in Croatia and leave it in Sarajevo at a car rental place?

Thanks for any tips!

I spent a month there about 2 yrs ago studying war and peace for college. Well I fell in love with Sarajevo- even though I travelled throughout the country- I even cried when boarding the plane back home to America!!! I did not want to leave and vowed that I would one day return. However, here is my question. I am in an inter-racial relationship which is not an issue here however, I wonder how Bosnians view people of different races and what are their views on inter-racial relationships?

Are there many exchange offices to exchange Serbian Dinar ? I know this is uncommon currency.

Hi all,
I'll be in Sarajevo next weekend (easter) and I'd like to do a day trip to Mostar by train.
Firstly, is there any particular day - Friday, Saturday or Sunday which will be best to make the trip (things being closed in Mostar, availablity of seats on train etc)?
Secondly, should I pre-book the train ticket the day before, or will I be okay buying on the day?
Lastly, is there an online timetable, or does anyone know the traintimes for those days so I can start planning.

Thanks Vters'!

Zdravo!

I'm relocating to Sarajevo and interested in booking a private room or a home-stay while I look for an apartment. Anyone have any recommendations on how to do this? I've read that the "sobi" ladies will be waiting at the bus station, but I'd obviously prefer something more reliable.

I'd also love to hear any thoughts anyone has on the local film scene. I'm aware of the festival, but does anybody know of a year-long film series or a theater that specializes in art-house material?

Thanks in advance for all the input. Looking forward to getting there.

Hello everyone,

Thank you all

I am interested in either taking the train or bus from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik or another place on the coast closest to Sarajevo so that I can catch a ferry to Italy. Probably just the closest town or city in Italy directly across the Adriatic Sea from here.I will figure out more when I get that far!! I have researched this online but it is very confusing and would like to here from someone who maybe has taken this route or one similar. If you might know some price estimates or contact info, please pass it on. Thank you!

I am planning to relocate to Sarajevo in early November 2007. I would like to know if there are Asian expat communities in Sarajevo.

Hi everybody!
My name is Måns Williamson and I'm thinking of going to Sarajevo. Does anybody know how the opportunities are for a foreigner to find a work and an accomodation? Im very openminded.
Best wishes, Måns

I'll be in Sarajevo from March-July 2008. I'd rather live close to the center of town. Any recommendations of neighborhoods or rental agencies? What is a reasonable monthly rent for a studio or 1 bedroom apartment? What should I avoid in the "lets make a deal" racket of renting short term?

Finally, what are recommendations for telephone service for calls to/from US?

Thanks for any help.

Hello. I'm trying to get to Sofia, Bulgaria from Sarajevo. I was going to take the train to Belgrade from Sarajevo, and then the overnight train to Sofia from Belgrade, but I am having A LOT of trouble finding info on getting from Sarajevo to Belgrade, and would rather spend more time in Sarajevo rather than travel to Belgrade just to get to Sofia. There are NO flights or trains that I can find.... does anyone know of a bus that goes from Sarajevo to Sofia?
Thanks!
