Bosnia and Herzegovina Travel Forum

I plan to visit Bosnia and Croatia early 2010, what i would like to know is, is the weather pleasent in March and April. I dont mind cold but would winch at a foot of snow. I hope to visit Banja Luca, Sarajevo, Mostar, Ploce and Rijeka.

We are a group of 24 government officers from Malaysia would like to visit Sarajevo next year (May 2010). We are interested in education development and also historical sites. Is it possible to travel by bus from Sarajevo to Istanbul? And how many days will it take?

Thanks

Hello there! I am visiting Dubrovnik in October for 5 days and if possible, would like to do a day trip to Sarajevo. Does anyone know whether this is possible? I know there are buses departing from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo daily at 07h30 and that the bus trip is about 6 hours. Does anyone know what time buses depart Sarajevo for Dubrovnik & whether there is more than one departure per day? Alternately, are there any tour operators who offer a day trip to Sarajevo. About 7 years ago I did a trip from Dubrovnik to Mostar, but never made it as far as Sarajevo & really hope to make it this time. Any advice & suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks :o)

Hi to everybody,

I was asking me if it was possible to rich by bus any Serbia's cities except Belgrad from Srebrenica. I would like to continue my trip from there on my way to Kosovo and don't be forced to go back to Sarajevo. It's possible?

Many thanks for answering me.

Take care

Hi everybody!

I am planning to backpack in Bosnia and Herzegovina, for about three weeks; so lots of day trips to be done by public transport (and the bus looks easyer and better than train).

I have been searching for a web page where I could plan my trips around the country; one of those along the lines "insert starting place, insert arrival place, insert date; and get the available conections". And obviously, I have not been able to find any.

Anyone able to point me the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

I'm driving from Dubrovnik to Mostar in late October.

I had planned to drive up the coast via Neum amd then take the E73 inland.

However, viaMichelin recommends going via Trebinje and Gacko. Looks longer to me, plus the road from Gacko to Mostar is lower grade than the others.

I know the Neum route will involve 3 border crossings as opposed to 1 on the Gacko road, so maybe that's the explanation.

Any thoughts or experiences out there?

I would like to visit Mostar. I will be in Zagreb and
have 3 days ,two nights that I would like to use to see
Mostar. Is the distance too great for that amount of time??
I have to go back to Zagreb for a flight out on day 3.

If this is not workable any ideas on another location
that is nearer to Zagrab??

Thanks

I'm looking for somewhere to spend a few days away over Christmas. I was in Sarajevo last month and liked it. Anyone have any recent experience of being there midwinter?

I know it will be cold, I know the airport has fog problems in winter, and I know it hosted the Winter Olympics in the 80s.

Also interested in hearing from anyone who has been skiing there recently - my teenage son skis and might come with me if that's an option for him.

Is the bridge still standing as of this date?

Hi!

I'd like to know how to get to Foca from Sarajevo or Serbia..

Thank you!

Hello everybody,

I would like to know what is the best way to have a day trip in Mostar.

1) From Split, take the bus to Mostar and return to Split. or

2) From Split, take the bus to Mostar and go directly to Dubrovnik.

My routing will be in Split, Mostar and Dubrovnik but I am not sure whether I can connect the bus to Dubrovnik after a day trip in Mostar.

Thanks

I want to go rafting on the Tara River and I've seen that some tours leave from Foca. How would I get from Dubrovnik to Foca using public transport?

I am hoping to do this trip next May.

I really hate flying so want to do it as little as possible.

Could someone advise me what kind of place in Europe would be the quickest flight - I only want the one necessary stopover to refuel.

Then if it is say, Frankfurt, I would spend a few days there, and find the easiest way by land to get to Sarajevo.

But maybe I should also consider not only the quickest flight, but also how easy it is to get to Sarajevo.

As long as there is only one stopover. A few hours in the plane don't really matter.

Thank you if you have got any advice or tips.

Hallo!

We are driving from Kotor to Mostar and then from Mostar to Split. Any suggestions on a good route other than the main highways? Thanks!

Hi all,

I am planning to travel from Sarajevo to Mostar and, in the next day, to Medjugorge and finally, in the same day, to Dubrovnik. Is there plenty of options to travel between the cities or should I rent a car ?

Cheers,

Eduardo (from Brazil)

I would like to travel from Mostar to Korcula in 06/2009... I have read that there is a bus that goes that route... but I can't find anything online about it. Does anyone have any info?

Ja bih htela da putujem od Mostara, BIH do Korcule, HR autobusom. Ne mogu da nadjem neku informaciju na internetu. Jel' iko zna da li ima autobus koji ide od Mostara do Korcule i kad, itd?

Thanks in advance... Hvala unapred.

Hi,

I am coming from another country to visit Athens, Greece for a week near the beginning of April. I would like to spend my additional week visiting Sarajevo and Medjugorje. However, I am not familiar with this part of the world and not sure what the best mode of transportation to/from Bosnia would be.

What are the suggested/recommended best way to go from Athens, Greece to/from Bosnia? What is the recommended city/location to stop once in Bosnia?

Which way is the most economical?

How long does it take to go from Athens, Greece to Bosnia?

I have attempted to research the most feasible way of travel as I am not against any mode of transportation as long as it is reasonable on length of travel time and economical. However, I am unable to find anything outside of the www.bahn.de website that tells me it will take roughly 27 hours to travel between the two countries. Is this correct? Is there a quicker, more economical mode of travel?

Any assistance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Hi everybody,

Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know of any car rental agencies that allow travel into Bosnia, Montenegro, and Serbia? I'm having a lot of trouble finding anyone willing to cover travel into those countries.

Hi everybody!

the next summer I'm planning to spend two weeks around Croatia and Bosnai Herzegovina and my schedule would be:

Plitvice Lakes 1 day- Sarajevo 2days - Mostar 1 or 2 days - Kravica 1 day and then go on the Croatian coast and take a ferry to Brac island.

My question is: tell me 10 reasons why I should go to Sarajevo and Mostar, what is the atmosphere that I can feel there and maybe a couple of curious place that I could visit during my itinerary and that I have not considered. I have to convince my travel mates that Bosnia Erzegovina worhs a visit!

Thanks in advance!!!!

Hi All!

I am looking at the train departing at 21:10 from Sarajevo and arrives at 06:21 at Belgrade. www.bahn.de even does not show fare for this route.

Has anyone taken a train?

hi guys,
i need your help. I want to go from Beograd to Sarajevo. I have found a line Beograd-Doboj-Sarajevo by train, but I should wait 7 hours in Doboj's station.

I also have found train Beograd-Strizivojna-Vrpolje-Sarajevo by train. But the second train from Strizivojna-Vrpolje-Sarajevo is intercity and i dont know how much I should pay.

Finaly, I want to inform about the trip by bus. I dont know how much it cost and timetable.

Hi, a friend and I (two over-40 females) plan to rent a car in Belgrade, see as many interesting things as possible, and return the car 10 days later in Sarajevo. We don't care at all about partying or night life. We're interested in history and meeting & talking to people. Let me hear your itinerary ideas (where, how many days, how many hours driving, etc)! Much thanks, Jan

Hi everyone,

3 questions:

1. This border-crossing, Metaljka, seems to be open, but I haven't heard any tourist crossing through it. Has anyone done this before?
2. Is there any regular bus service going this route? I have checked on http://www.autobusni-kolodvor.com, but not quite...
3. Accommodation around this area? Any reasonable dormitory or private apartment (Sobe/Sobi)?

Thanks in advance!

Could anybody recommend an interpreter in Trebinje for me please? I have tried several addresses both online and offline and didn't have much luck so far.

Thank you in advance
