Bosnia and Herzegovina People

Important: Beware of the thieves. I met a band who had a gig there and they got everything stolen from their track. It seems that robbery is very frequent in Sarajevo. People used to tell me that almost everywere in Bosnia. A bad reputation which actually seems to be true.
Accomodation: it's plenty of BBs there. Actually they are like houses with a pair of vacant rooms people tend to transform into "tourists rooms". I suggest you book there rather than a chain hotel (there's a Holiday Inn but hey... they really need us to support local economy!)
Food: quite cheap actually, You can find lovely places to dine exp. in the town center. They usually have an inner garden too. Try the coffee, which is made in quite an "oriental" style.
What to bring: bring... a bag. Place ALL of your money there and then always keep your eyes on that. Don't bring expensive goodies you can't walk with.
Extra tips: The centre is really beautiful since it has been almost completely rebuilted after war. Therefore, it's important you take some time to visit the rest of the city. You'll see houses with bullets signs on the walls and a status of ruin. But you'll figure out a bit better what the was has been to the city. A bit painful and sad but... travel is learning too. Try to find someone to chat with asking about that period and how life and city population has changed. That can be very instructive.

It is a nice place to visit lot of thinks to see but the people are not that open...they are still afected by the past...i meen the worr

Ravno is village northwest from Dubrovnik;Croatia, just over the border which could be entered at Ivanica, few kilometers outside famous Dubrovnik old town.This pictoresque litlle village with stunning view over flat POPOVO POLJE, with channels full of eel and fish, surrounded with beautiful peaks of typically dinaric mountains is an part of karst region richest with speleology's attractions among the most important is Vjetrenica cave with its Covjecja ribica endemic phenomena-humans like pink skinned amphibic salamander with the small arms and legs. If you pop in any local house of its extremlly friendly peasants you will be treated as a special guest, will be offered to try some local product as cheese IZ MIJEHA(keept in sheep skin bag); honey MED OD KADULJE, corny bred with olive oil and garlic, and they will even try to sing for you GANGA song while sharing VRANAC wine with you!GANGA song speaks about heroic and turbulent history of this proud and rebell people which survived so much even in recent days history but still pray to God and celebrate life which kept them living in this one of the real ecological heavens.As a souvenir you can take some tobacco-SHKIJA which was one of the main trade of this people through history, although today little bit hard to find, but dont quit in advance to look for it because its extraordinary good quality!

Hey people, you dont be scared but be brave and come to Sarajevo!!! This is really cool city, placed between hills and mountains, and mix of culture and religions!!! One of the funniest pictures is when you walk deep down the old town and find place for playing chess, with really huge statues!!! Like in all of the Balkan places you must definitely try all of kinda baklavas and much more tasteful burek :-) The finest moment is while from all of the mosques are singing prayers as sun is rising up between fog...mmm.. beautiful!!!

Came to this faboules city on a Very short notice (1 Hour) Look for street signs here...look no further....the Hotel provided us with a semi-readable photocopy of the city streets, which I finally put away...thank god the people are of the VERY friendly sort so you can ask anyone for directions. OH, you can buy a proper map in the bookstore there. Make sure to see: The Old Town, Bosnian Historical and National Museum, Latin Bridge and finally just get on the tram and let it drive you around the City. The mountains surrounding are great for a hike and if there is time go to the old Olympic Stadion. Make sure you eat a Burek (Not for the vegitarian people) they have quite interessting food!!!.
