Sarajevo
Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian in the same street. Deeply moving.
Travellers come here for culture, food, nature and meeting people.
When to go
Aim for September, April and October. Think twice about July, August and June — the wettest stretch of the year.

What it costs
Per person per day — a bed, food, getting around, and a share of one paid thing every third day.
These are GoReady's own estimates, not quotes. Nothing here is a price a provider has offered you — search the dates you actually want to see real ones.

Getting there
The airport is SJJ. Sarajevo is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.
