Sarajevo & Mostar Itinerary Check
My partner and I (early 30s, visiting from NYC) are spending 4 days in Bosnia & Herzegovina in a couple of weeks before heading over to Montenegro. We’ll be doing 2 days in Sarajevo and 2 days in Mostar, relying on buses, private tours, and taxis/walking.
We love history, active sightseeing, food, and culture. We’d love a quick sanity check on our itinerary, particularly regarding museum choices in Sarajevo and a few logistics questions!
Here’s what we have planned:
Day 1 in Sarajevo:
Land at Sarajevo Airport (What's the best way to get a taxi from the airport into town? Is there a reliable app (like MojTaxi), or should we stick to airport cabs?)
Casual sightseeing around city center (Baščaršija Bazaar, Latin Bridge)
Sunset at Yellow Bastion
Day 2 in Sarajevo:
Trebević Mountain
Museum - Trying to choose the best museum for our interests. I love learning about the country's history, my partner just needs something stimulating and interesting. Thinking about doing War Childhood Museum (and potentially adding on Gallery 11/07/95), but are we making a mistake skipping the Tunnel of Hope (War Tunnel Museum), the National Museum, or the Museum of Crimes Against Humanity? If we only have time for two, did we pick the right ones?
Day 1 in Mostar:
Taking the morning bus from Sarajevo to Mostar (booked via Prevoz Putnika). (Anything specific we should know about bus station procedures?)
The Museum of War and Genocide Victims
Stari Most
Sunset at Kosko Mehmed Pasha Mosque?
Day 2 in Mostar:
Guided Day Trip to Kravice Waterfall, Blagaj, and Počitelj
Does this flow well, or are we rushing anything too much? Any specific food/restaurant recommendations in Sarajevo or Mostar would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!
