TimetableFor shopping, stores and malls are usually open every day except Sunday, from 8am to 7pm. The flea market in Vrapčići (6 km northeast of Mostar) is held on weekends between 6:30 am and 3 pm. That of Ciglane, in Sarajevo, every day from 8am to 6pm and until 4pm on Sundays. For wine tastings in Herzegovina's wineries, it is best to make an appointment by phone the day before.
What's very localIn addition to the flea markets in Vrapčići and Ciglane, you will find traditional craftsmen in Mostar's Kujundžiluk Street and in the Kazandžiluk Bazaar in Sarajevo. It is especially recommended to visit the beautiful wooden furniture at the Zanat cabinet making shop in Konjic. Among the local specialties, do not forget the aromatic and medicinal herbs, the Bosnian coffee or the loukoums (see "What to bring back from your trip?").
Tourist trapsMany of the "traditional" hammered copper objects or "Bosnian" carpets sold in Kujundžiluk street and in the Kazandžiluk bazaar are imports. In the absence of legislation on wine, some large wineries in Herzegovina bring in some of their grapes from Northern Macedonia.
