We visited Bosnia and Herzegovina in July 2021 on a day trip from Dubrovnik, Croatia.
We were picked up from our hotel in Dubrovnik and it was about a 2 hour ride through Dubrovnik to the Kravich Waterfalls in Bosnia.
A couple notes here, you can country hop in Europe like we go from state to state here, but there is a wait at the border. Some make you get out, show your passport and your vaccine card, while others will allow your guide to show each passport. We waited at the border as long as 3 hours and as little as 5 minutes. Sometimes there was a border agent shift change or large buses with sketchy populations, that took them longer to search. To us it was all apart of the adventure, but if you have dinner reservations, you may not want to book a day tour.
Our tour was on a van with about 20+ folks from all over the world. It was English speaking, with strong Croatian accents.
After Kravich waterfalls, we proceeded to Mostar. Mostar is famous for it’s bridge “old bridge” and has a lot of Turkish influences. We got a great tour and history lesson of the Bosnian war, downtown Mostar and then we had about 2 hours to just walk around and enjoy. We had traditional Bosnian Coffee – very strong, no cream, one sugar cube, served extremely hot! We also tried traditional Bosnian dishes – called Cevapi – which is basically a meat platter with some lettuce. It was okay, but definitely worth a try. Our meal was roughly $20 American Dollars and included the Entree, Water, Coffee and Dessert.
Prices in BIH were reasonable, they take the Euro, BAM and Croatian Currency.
Though there were not many black people while we were there, we did not feel ostracized, everyone was very hospitable, spoke English and treated us respectfully. I’d recommend it.
