As soon as the sun is out this is where you'll find locals lolling, picnicking and often getting their gear off and catching some rays.

Four tips for a more complete experience of Sarajevo

Let us give you some useful tips to make your stay in Sarajevo as pleasant as possible: 

1. Intimacy among people is completely acceptable in Sarajevo. So locals who have just met you can ask questions about work, family or marital status, which in some other areas could be considered extremely personal questions. Also, don’t surprise by frequent shoulder straps, grunts, and kissing as a sign of greetings.

2. Coffee in Sarajevo is a good idea at any time of the day. Drinking coffee is a kind of ritual and it is a reason for the gathering of friends, or family and conversation. If someone invite you to their home, expect that the host will first offer you coffee. It is customary to take off shoes at the entrance, when entering the house. Also, it’s a nice habit to bring some nice gift to the host.

3. Remember that people in Sarajevo don’t include tips in the account amounts.  We can advise you to leave a tip in gratitude for a good service. In cafes, the amount is rounded, while in restaurants, the tip of ten percent of the amount of the account is sufficient.

4. Religious buildings in Sarajevo are open to visitors, but you should be properly dressed during the visit. During visits to mosques, women should be in trousers or longer skirts, covered hands, and wear a scarf over their heads, and men should wear pants below their knees. When entering the mosque, it is obligatory to remove the shoes. Photographing in religious objects is not acceptable only at the time of prayer, while in all other circumstances taking pictures is permitted.

Sarajevo, the capital and largest city – also the economic, university, and cultural center of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Immediately outside the city, the magnificent Trebević rises, and the city is additionally variegated along the river Miljacka, which has inspired many songwriters and musicians.

This trip is ideal for hedonists who like a slightly lighter pace, quiet and colorful cities, without too much crowd. In this city, you will be greeted by good and hospitable hosts, who will offer you some of the delicious specialties of this region, and a walk through Baščaršija is a real look back at the past and the atmosphere of Ottoman rule that is still alive on these timeless streets.

Old Town Sarajevo

Mostar is a truly wonderful city, one of those timeless corners that entice tourists to visit them. We want to introduce you to a place where about one hundred thousand inhabitants live. The city is mostly tourist-oriented, with the fact that the diversity of the left and right banks cannot be bypassed. In Mostar, there is one townhouse, one mayor, and widely known symbols such as the Old Bridge, which was built back in 1566 at the request of the then Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Also, the city is further adorned by the Neretva, the old spirit of the bazaar and shops…

Let’s start this journey together, on which we will walk through the history, art, myths, and legends of two eternal Balkan cities – Sarajevo and Mostar.
