Where to Stay in
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Except for a handful of four- and five-star hotels, the
majority of the country’s hotels are mid-range or inexpen-
sive; most places are clean. Hostels and guest houses are
popular budget options, especially in Sarajevo where the
busier, central establishments require advance bookings.
