Language

Bosnian is the official language

Getting there

Most people fly to Zagreb (in Croatia) and then catch a train or bus to the town they are staying at. This is a long journey but will cost much less than £20.

Taxis

Agree a price with the taxi driver before you get in If he charges more then refuse to pay

Buses

They are generally really cheap Beware: they may add extra charges for luggage It is worth considering getting an overnight bus if the journey is long

Visas

You don’t need a visa

Getting money

ATM machines are common in the main cities but it’s worth taking over some currency (Euros or dollars)

Travel

The Croatian coast is gorgeous (and once again becoming a popular tourist destination) and it’s not too expensive to get there. Sarajevo and Mostar are also recommended as places to visit.
