Holiday rentals in Bosnia & Herzegovina

Mostar's old bridge, Sarajevo's bazaar and the country's only coast at Neum. No problem.

Ottoman streets, mountain rivers and a short coast

Bosnia & Herzegovina is a country of stone towns and fast rivers. Mostar is the icon — the Stari Most bridge, the copper workshops of the old bazaar and the Neretva running green underneath. Sarajevo adds a capital where Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav layers sit within a few streets of each other.

Neum, the country’s only coastal town, is a practical stop midway between Split and Dubrovnik, with sheltered swimming and lower prices than either. Our stays are apartments and small houses, booked directly by enquiry.

Bosnia questions, answered

Practical answers about timing, roads, beaches and money. If your question is not here, send us an enquiry and we will answer it directly.

Is Mostar worth staying overnight?

Yes. Day trippers leave by late afternoon, and the old town is at its best in the evening and early morning.

Can you swim at Neum?

Yes — the bay is sheltered and shallow in places, with pebble beaches and a promenade. It is not the clearest Adriatic water, but it is convenient and cheap.

Should I bring cash?

Yes. Cards work in hotels and larger restaurants, but many small places, taxis and market stalls prefer cash in KM.

How do I get there?

Fly to Sarajevo or Dubrovnik, or take the train between Sarajevo and Mostar. A car makes the waterfalls and hill villages much easier.

Is it safe?

Yes. The country is welcoming to visitors; the main practical care is driving on narrow mountain roads.
