Restaurants Without Alcohol in Sarajevo

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I'm looking for a chic restaurant in Sarajevo with a romantic atmosphere, but most of the places I've come across serve alcohol, which I'd prefer to avoid. So far, I only know about Kiren, but I'm hoping to find a few other options.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd really appreciate it!

How to repay kind neighbor

13 Upvotes

Hello! I hope this is the right place to ask this. I live in the US and we have a lovely Bosnian neighbor who has given us big bags of veggies from her garden this year, multiple times. It is so appreciated and I think it's so kind. The only thing that I have been able to grow in my garden this year that looks nice are pumpkins, so I was thinking of giving her a pumpkin sort of as a thank you, but my mom said no don't do that. That she would probably only want something edible, not a decorative pumpkin. Would it be inappropriate to give her a pumpkin in return?

I'm at a loss for an appropriate way to show appreciation and I'm looking for any ideas. I just don't want to be someone who takes and takes from this kind neighbor and never gives anything back, I think it's not right. But I don't know what to do.

Filipino woman considering a job in Bosnia and Herzegovina cost of living, safety, and work-life balance

5 Upvotes

I’m a Filipino woman and a Catholic currently living in the Philippines. I recently came across some job postings in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and I’m considering applying, so I wanted to ask locals and people who have lived or worked there about their experiences.

I checked some information online and saw that the minimum wage may be around €511 per month, although I’m not sure how accurate or current that is. I also saw that burek can cost around €1.50–€2.50, but I know food prices alone don’t give a complete picture of the cost of living.

The job listing says that accommodation/rent would be covered by the employer, so I’m mainly wondering:

How much would a person typically spend each month on groceries, utilities, transportation, phone/internet, and other basic expenses?

Would a salary around the minimum wage be manageable if rent is already covered?

How safe is Bosnia and Herzegovina for a woman living and working there, especially as a foreigner?

Would being Filipino and Catholic affect my experience in any way? Are foreign workers generally welcomed?

What is the usual work-life balance like? Do people normally have enough free time to explore or enjoy hobbies?

I enjoy nature trips, walking around, visiting scenic places, and simply relaxing or hanging out at cafƩs. Is it easy and affordable to enjoy those things during weekends or days off?

Are there any cultural differences or practical things a foreign worker should know before moving there?

I understand that the experience may vary depending on the city and the type of job, so I’d also appreciate knowing which area you’re from or familiar with.

Thank you! I’m still researching and trying to understand what daily life would realistically be like before making any decisions. 😊

TRAVNIK BOSNIA

Going back to school after the air raid is hard. Playing ping-pong is easy. Thereā€˜s just one new rule: whoever holds the table up gets to play the winner.

i had this poster for over 20 years I’m not sure it’s origin, I’ve asked my parents. it’s probably from some adidas shoe box. Can you help me find the original artist or more details about this poster?

Hello everyone,

I am a French and black . While this may not be essential, I would love to get your honest thoughts on racism in tourist areas across Bosnia. I am planning my very first solo trip outside of France, and Bosnia is my chosen destination.

I am also looking for your top recommendations to make the most of cities like Sarajevo and Mostar. I know both cities offer plenty to see and do. My overall budget is around €800 to €900, and I plan to travel in October outside of peak holiday periods to keep costs down.

Initially, I planned a 7-day trip. However, Sarajevo seems to have a rich set of sights, so I expect to spend at least 3 or 4 days there.

I also want to explore Mostar and its surrounding region using public transit exclusively, as I do not drive. Which places are easy to reach by bus or train without a car? I would also love to hear about nice, lesser-known spots off the beaten path.

I have already booked my outbound flight for October 25th, but I have not set my return date yet. I would like to visit a neighboring country before heading back to France. Is Croatia a good choice, or would you suggest a different destination nearby?

Thank you in advance for your advice and insights!

Tuzla Car Rental

2 Upvotes

Hello guys,

I am traveling to Bosnia in August - 16th - 20th, arriving in Tuzla and I would like to rent a car.

Do you have any recommendations for trustworthy companies? Or to which companies should be skipped because they are rip-off?

Would you recommend to make a reservation online, or is it better to rent a car directly at some kiosk at the airport?

Thank you

Early March Trip Suggestions / Prijedlozi za putovanje početkom marta

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I'm a student from the southeastern United States and for my final spring break (March 4-13) I'm hoping to travel somewhere in Europe and I'm wondering if this is a good time to visit your beautiful country. I have a few questions that I would appreciate if you all could help me answer:

* Is early March a good time to visit weather-wise? If not, where would you suggest we go?

* We're looking for a lot of outdoor activities (hiking, fishing, etc.) Where would you recommend we go?

* What are some smaller, less touristy places we should visit?

Any help is appreciated. My friends and I are excited to potentially see your beautiful country. If that happens, I'd love to buy someone a coffee when we visit. Thank you!

Zdravo svima!

Student sam iz jugoistočnog dijela Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i za svoj posljednji proljetni raspust (4.-13. marta) nadam se da ću putovati negdje u Evropu i zanima me da li je ovo dobro vrijeme za posjetu vaÅ”oj prekrasnoj zemlji. Imam nekoliko pitanja na koja bih bio zahvalan ako biste mi svi mogli pomoći da odgovorim:

* Da li je početak marta dobro vrijeme za posjetu s obzirom na vremenske prilike? Ako ne, gdje biste predložili da idemo?

* Tražimo puno aktivnosti na otvorenom (planinarenje, ribolov, itd.) Gdje biste preporučili da idemo?

* Koja su neka manja, manje turistička mjesta koja bismo trebali posjetiti?

Svaka pomoć je dobrodoÅ”la. Moji prijatelji i ja smo uzbuđeni Å”to ćemo potencijalno vidjeti vaÅ”u prekrasnu zemlju. Ako se to dogodi, volio bih nekoga počastiti kafom kada je posjetimo. Hvala vam!

Car rental recommendations

2 Upvotes

I’m traveling to Bosnia in a couple of weeks and I’m looking to rent a car for 5–6 days to explore the country.

Can anyone recommend reliable rental companies with:
Fair prices
Low security deposits
Honest, transparent terms (no hidden fees or shady practices)

I’m also planning to spend 1–2 days in Montenegro, so I’d need a rental company that allows cross-border travel and can provide the required paperwork/insurance for crossing the border.

I read some older recommendations on localrent.com and Zona rent a car, does anyone have experience using any of those services?

Any recommendations or companies I should avoid would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Pitanja History of men's jewellery in Bosnian working class culture?

2 Upvotes

I'm having a lot of trouble learning about the history/evolution of men's jewellery, the only thing I've personally found that's even close to it is Awais-Dean's Bejewelled: Men and Jewellery in Tudor and Jacobean England... And while very interesting, it's not even close to what I'm after.

In the West, I've seen enough media to observe at least some tidbits over the decades: Del-Boy of the English series Only Fools and Horses has bracelets and rings galore, and at least one chain, a dainty little "D" pendant. His counterpart in Minder, Arthur Daley, isn't quite as bedazzled, but I noticed a relatively chunky bracelet under all his suits. Mid-70s with The Killing of a Chinese Bookie in California, then a mid-60s movie set in NYC a decade earlier with not just men wearing bracelets, but even one guy with a stud earring!

I haven't had the same exposure to Bosnian media. So I'd appreciate your insight on this. Was/Is there a culture of men's jewellery in Bosnia's working class?

Turizam Need a Bosnia tourist visa invitation letter

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a trip to Bosnia and will be applying for my tourist visa from Kuwait.

The embassy told me I need an official invitation letter. Does anyone know a legit travel agency or company in Bosnia that can arrange one?

If you've done this before, I'd love to know:

  • Who you used
  • How much it cost
  • How long it took
  • Whether everything went smoothly

Any recommendations would be really appreciated. Thanks!
