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!

Hi,
I am going to catch a bus from Banja Luka to Beograd, and want to go the fastest way, which I believe is through Croatia.

I had a look at the timetable and there are 3 different options (GP Gradiska, GP Brod, and preko Bijeljine). Can somebody tell me which of those is the fastest? And which is the slowest?

Thanks

Hi, I am travelling from Budapest to Zagreb by train and then from Zagreb to Sarajevo a few days later, also by train. Does anyone know of a website where you can book tickets online, so that I don't have to struggle in a train station, only able to speak English?

I will be hopping around a bit in the region and would like to Visit Kosovo for a day or two. Is their any trains or busses that connect Albania with Kosovo. Or perhaps Macedonia? does anyone know the info on these buses or trains? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - My girlfriend and I are planning on visiting Mostar for a night from Dubrovnik on our way to Split nest week. What is the best way to get from Dubrovnik to Mostar, and then from Mostar to Split? Is there travel info available somewhere? Cheers!

During a trip to Croatia this fall I would really love to plan a day trip to Mostar, however my traveling companion is concerned about our safety in traveling to as well as while visiting Mostar. Everything I have read leads be to believe it is safe. She was on board until a former military friend of hers told her we "absolutely shound not go". Does anyone have recent information on the safety of this area?

Ok so I am going to Sarajevo and it isnt covered in any of my Croatia or Slovenia guidebooks. And I am having a hell of a time finding a tourist map. Anyone have any links to a map of the central city/train station/bus station etc. I would love to be able to find my way around when I arrive from Zagreb via overnight train or bus.
Thanks!

Hello!

I'm moving to Sarajevo in September and I'm hoping to meet some nice people while I'm there. I'll be in the country for a year, I love art and literature, and I love to hike, sail and travel. I just graduated from college and I'll be teaching and researching for the year.

Is anyone else in the area? Any advice? I need to find an apartment, a language school, etc.

Love to meet you all--
Liz

Hello,

In September we will arrive in Sarajevo. After having explored this city we want to travel to Dubrovnik by bus. I know that Eurolines (Centrotrans) runs a line and that Libertas also has a couple of lines every day.

Are this the only options or are there more private bus companies that run a line between Sarajevo and Dubrovnik.

In Bulgaria there were many private companies, so there was an oppertunity whenever you 'd like to go. Is this also true for Sarajevo ?

Anyone ?

TIA

I am staying in Skopje for a few weeks. Afterwards I'd like to travel to Sarajevo. Is it safer to travel by bus or train? How long and how much does it take?

any recommendations for safe, clean lodging?

Hi
I am in Italy with my family and we want to visit Medugorje. We can get a boat over from Vieste, Italy to Dubrovnik but we don't know how to get from there. I have a 10 year old son in a wheelchair so public transport can be a bit of a problem. Can anyone give me any help or suggestions as to how I can get there?
Thanks.

Hi guys, I should be moving in Mostar for an internship around Sept/Oct for 3 months, more or less. Could you give me an idea of the cost of living now? like, renting & eating. I'm not looking for extra luxury things, it's an unpaid internship, so won't be too fussy, but I need to get an idea for budgeting my money.

cheers!

My wife and I will be flying into Rijeka and then hiring a car to drive down to Banja Luka.

Can anybody please suggest a route that will get us there quickly? As much as I would like to take my time and see the sights we are on a tight schedule.

How long will the journey take?

Many thanks,

Hello World

I´ll be travelling through Bosnia, Croatia and Montenegro in August and will be starting my trip in Sarajevo. I have no idea how long I´ll be staying there as the idea is to take is as it comes. If anyone fancies having a cup of tea with a charming, witty Englishman feel free to mail me. I´m also open to the idea of a travelling companion.

Cheers,

Mr Chris

We are travelling from Sarajevo to Ohrid mid-July but I'm not sure how is best to get there. I know there is a bus from Sarajevo to Skopje Tuesdays and Fridays at 18.30 (is this correct?) and then I suppose from Skopje we can take the bus to Ohrid... What would you suggest? We have train passes so it would be better if we can take the train for the majority of our journey. I know Ohrid is not accessible by train but it looks so beautiful and I really want to catch the Summer Festival.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thank you!!

Hi! I need to get form Sarajevo airport to Lukawica bus station. Are there any busses going in that direction or taxi is the only solution?

Can I exchange Serbian Dinars at the border station Zvornik or in banks in Sarajevo into Bosnian Mark?

Hiya,

I'm going travelling for two weeks next month, starting in Budapest then going to Zagreb, Sarajevo, Mostar, and flying home from Dubrovnik. I want to avoid using my debit card abroad. Could I take my money as Euros and then exchange if I need to? Or should I get money changed into the separate currencies before I go?

I'm trying to find out the best way to get from Sarajevo to Skopje in July. We are buying the inter rail pass so the cheapest way for us to do it would be to get the train, changing at Belgrade. But this seems a bit crazy to me as it will take 22 hours... I'm happy to pay a bit more to get a bus if it is direct and doesn't take as long.

Does anyone know where I can find out the bus times from Sarajevo to Skopje, how long it takes and how much it costs?

Thanks very very much!

Jo
