What to see

by croisbeauty

Visit city of Jajce in the central Bosnia, the town of Sarajevo and its Bašcaršija which represents the spirit of Orient right in the middle of Europe, the charming city of Mostar, the wild mountains and impassable woods. Exploring B&H might be the adventure of your life time. The people of Bosnia and Herzegovina is hosting, friendly and have a great sense of humor. Do not try to tell them what to do, do not rush them and do not push them, no matter what you try they will always fdo things in their own way only.

Understanding the past

by tampa_shawn

There are TONs of great books about Bosnia. I read about 40…these were my favorite1) Zlata’s Diary, A Childs Life in Sarajevo – Zlata is known as the Anne Frank of Bosnia. 2) Logavina Street : life and death in a Sarajevo neighborhood / by Barbara Demick ; photographs by John Costello. Amazing life of a normal neighborhood during the siege of Sarajevo3) Sarajevo Survivors Guide – I’ve Quoted this several times on this page. Written by Bosnian’s for Bosnian’s. This really shows the Bosnia’s humor and according to my Bosnian friends accurately reflects life in Sarajevo during the siege4) Fax from Sarajevo – by Joe Kubert – A friend keeps in touch from Sarajevo via faxes during the war5) Safe Area Gorazde by Joe Sacco – On the list because it is so unique and would really appeal to some. This is a comic book that shows life during the warThe key to my neighbor's house : seeking justice in...

Damn it!

by Sanja_Mo

Why does everyone take pictures of war ruins and other bad things in Bosnia? Come on, who are you trying to fool, I live here and I know that today, 15 years after the war, there are many pretty things to take pictures of. But guess what? As soon as foreigners see a building that was ruined during the war and wasn't rebuilt yet, they take a shot. They try to show that they have been to some "dangerous" place... WOW! And that's why people think that the war isn't finished yet and they think bad about us. Keep in mind 3 things, ladies and gentlemen:1.) It is not our fault that we had a war. Serbia attacked Bosnia and later Serbia and Croatia wanted to divide Bosnia between themselves and many people were killed just because they were not the same religion.2.) Before the war, Bosnia was a normal place, just as any other in ex-Yugoslavia.3.) It has been 15 years since the war started and 12...

One of the Balkan's best-kept secrets

by patricia_taft

For most of us watching the news in the mid-1990s, the country of Bosnia is synonymous with bloodshed and genocide. More than a decade later, this country is slowly creeping back to its former glory and the capital, Sarajevo, should not be missed. A curious mixture of Slavic and Turkish cultures, Bosniaks are some of the friendliest people in the Balkans and, although a war tore their country apart, are eager to greet travelers and show them all that this tiny Balkan country has to offer. A walk through downtown Sarajevo, including the amazing Turkish market, should not be missed. Great deals abound and for those who love to bargain, you have found Mecca. Some of the most beautiful rugs and jewelery I have ever bought came from Bosnia and you will find yourself immersed in conversations of history, politics, and culture as you barter for the best price. The food is pretty wonderful...

Money

by Heniko

The local currency is the Konvertibilna Marka. The official ISO-code is BAM but locally prices are showed in KM. In Croatian parts in Herzegovina (like tourist-center Meðugorje)the Croatian Kuna can also be used. The Euro can be used anywhere, mostly banknotes and sometime even coins.

To american_tourister

by Sanja_79

To american_tourister:Well, in my experience most Americans are ignorant, don't know *** about this world and can't even spell their own language. I'm sick of people saying *** about Bosnia and imagining Bosnian people as some uncivilised and uneducated bunch of crap. We are totally different from the way people try to describe us. And as for the smoking part, go to Greece which is in European Union and everyone considers it a civilised country, they smoke even more, even in banks, cinemas etc., you won't find that in Bosnia.

The best of Banja Luka

by diamond7

In Banja Luka, my favourite places are the Castle, the Vrbas River, the main street (Petra 1, on map), and the Grad Park (close to main street). Go and enjoy Banja Luka.By the way, if you choose the “Talija Hotel” you will be very near from all these places; only 100 meters from main street and park, and about 5 minutes from the river and the Castle.Try going at a weekend. At Friday and Saturday night, the centre of city has an atmosphere of “street party”

Neum

by Shafali

Bosnia's only town on the Adriatic. It's a popular stop for travellers coming from/to Croatia as well. Our Croatian bus driver was filling up on pounds and pounds (ok, kilos) of sugar...maybe because it's cheaper than in Croatia.

They need some Mexicans

by american_tourister

Bosnians are on the whole, lazy. They just don't have a sense of urgency about anything they do for employment and will sit down or stop work just about any chance they get.This photo is just so typical. They are almost all chain smokers and after dragging over this sign that says "Work Zone" they all stopped for a cigarette break. This break will most likely involve the coffee ritual and will take anywhere from 30-45 minutes.I can just imagine the conversation. "Hey Laslo there is a smoke pen." "Yeah, Fuad, we better stop and have a smoke, it's been 25 minutes since our last cigarette."The way we combated the lack of productivity was by employing masses of them for tasks. When asked by the Army what we could do to get more productivity I stated, "Let me go to Monterey, Mexico with a charter flight and a handfull of green cards." The breaks are good though. They laugh and joke and play...
