Where to stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Mostar after five o'clock

• Mostar is a day trip for most visitors - coaches from Dubrovnik and Split arrive mid-morning and leave mid-afternoon.
• Staying the night is the whole point. The bridge without the crowds, at dusk, is a different place.
• Accommodation is cheap and the old town is small.

Sarajevo

• Bascarsija is the old Ottoman quarter and is where most visitors stay.
• Prices are low by European standards.
• Winter is cold and foggy, and the 1984 Olympic mountains are half an hour away.

Practicalities

• Registration within 72 hours - see the entry section; hotels handle it.
• Cash is still needed outside the cities.
