Build a journey

Don't collect sights. Build a route.

A simple rhythm for a first trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina.

01 Arrive

Begin in Sarajevo

Walk first. Learn the neighbourhood rhythm, use cafés and markets as anchors, and keep the first day intentionally light.

02 Expand

Add another region

Move beyond the capital and give a regional town, landscape or historic area enough time to feel different.

03+ Slow down

Leave room for discovery

Keep one part of the itinerary open for the restaurant, road, market or town that was never on the original list.

Orientation

Start with the map. Then ignore it.

Use geography to understand the route, then let curiosity decide what happens between the stops.

Local stories

Watch the country, not just the landmarks.
