I had a 5 day Bosnia and Herzegovina trip and here are my trip notes:
Good Sides:
-It is safe. Didn't feel in danger ever. Only some beggars not pushy though.
-The food here is amazing and very cheap if you compare with western or northern Europe.
-For history / politics lovers this place is a must visit. Because of its multi ethnic culture and unfortunate war that happened on 90s, the country is bursting with stories.
-People know English, especially younger people are very comfortable with it.
-Tunnel of Salvation and Museumof Crimes Against Humanity are breathtaking.
Bad Sides:
IMHO Bosnia and Herzegovina has the typical aspects of a country new to tourism.
-Credit card is rarely accepted.
-People are generally rude. I get that some people may be resentful towards the west because of history. But tourists are there to visit the country and build friendship.
-Mostar was disappointing. A beautiful historical bridge (rebuilt) and town but it is impossible to walk on the street because of vendors exhibit goods in front of their shops and that leaves no space for people to walk.
-Seeing tourists as cash cows. In some places entry fees can be up to 10 Euroes per person (which is a high price for BiH), and still they give off a vibe that you should be grateful just to be there. Or you visit a very remote village with nobody around except vendors. And a young lady at the door of a humble mosque tries to sell you tickets for 1.25 euroes.
Overall, I am very glad to visit BiH and definitely recommend as well.
