What budget for activities and outings Bosnia And Herzegovina?
The entrance fee for the places of interest is low, with the exception of the Karvica Falls (20 KM, or about 10 €/person). Children are usually admitted free or at a greatly reduced rate, and students are admitted at a reduced rate upon presentation of proof. In Sarajevo, there are two passes: the Sarajevo Card, which gives access to many advantages, and the grouped ticket for the city's museums (Muzej Sarajevo). Places of worship are free, with a few exceptions such as the Church of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Sarajevo and the Hadži Alija Mosque in Počitelj. Finally, some supervised activities such as horseback riding or rafting require larger budgets.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a real "nature" destination. There is no lack of hiking opportunities. As well as ski resorts, bird sanctuaries, primary forests... In the city, some public parks are equipped with outdoor exercise machines. In Sarajevo, the Wilson promenade is a nice place to go jogging along the Miljacka river. Be careful with your lungs though: this is the most polluted capital in Europe. Also be careful while hiking because of the presence of antipersonnel mines since the 1992-1995 war. In these pages, we give you the prices and our advice for most of the activities. Skiing is mainly practiced at the ski resorts of Jaohrina and Bjelašnica, near Sarajevo. The four sites for rafting are the Vrbas Valley near Banja Luka, the Una National Park near Bihać, the Tara Canyon near Foča, and the Neretva River from Konjic. Climbing spots can be found especially in Šipovo, Blagaj, Livno and the Vrbas Valley. You can take off in a hot air balloon from the Blidinje Nature Park.
The prices for a movie, a night at the disco or an evening at the opera vary from 5 to 15 €.

Prices are generally lower in winter, except in ski resorts. Breakfast is almost always included and most hotels accept payment by credit card (but be sure to bring cash just in case...).
Travel budget Bosnia And Herzegovina and cost of living
The cost of living is on average half that of France. But salaries are three or four times lower. It is therefore advisable to be generous in tipping the staff of restaurants, cafés and hotels, who are often poorly paid. Plan on a budget of about 100-150 €/day for two people for food and lodging if you avoid luxury hotels and the rare gourmet restaurants. It goes up a bit in Sarajevo, Mostar and Banja Luka.
