Fun and entertainment - Bosnia And Herzegovina in 2024

Practical information : Going out Bosnia And Herzegovina

Timetable

It is difficult to get bored in Sarajevo with its multiplex cinemas and art cinemas, its theaters (National Theater, Bosnian Cultural Center...), its sports arenas, its discotheques and night bars, its festivals, etc. Addresses, schedules and prices are detailed in the section on Sarajevo. In the rest of the country, the possibilities of going out are more limited. However, Mostar and Banja Luka are relatively lively in summer.

Budget & Tips

The prices for a movie, a night at the disco or an evening at the opera vary from 5 to 15 €.

Night transport

In Sarajevo, Mostar and Banja Luka, public transport runs until about midnight. After that, you can take cheap cabs.

Age restrictions

The consumption of alcohol is allowed from the age of 18.

What's very local

Rakija is the traditional brandy of many Balkan and Central European countries (about 50° alcohol). The best is the one produced by some bars and restaurants as well as by private individuals. It is obtained by distillation of fruits. The šljivovica based on plum or quetsche is the most famous. Bosnia and Herzegovina is also a wine producer, mainly in Herzegovina, but the wine served in bars is generally not very interesting. Bosnians are more fond of beer. There are five industrial breweries in Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, Bihać and Mostar, as well as about 50 craft microbreweries throughout the country. Finally, the current fashion is hookah (plenty of shisha bars in Mostar and Sarajevo).

Smokers

Even more than in restaurants and hotels, cigarette smoke is a nuisance in bars, pubs and cafes. Unless that changes with the new anti-smoking law passed in 2022.

Tourist traps

Not much. But there is a report of a credit card scam in a pub with yellow walls very popular with tourists in the center of Sarajevo, near the Latin bridge: under the pretext of a problem reading the terminal, the staff swipes the card several times, resulting in several successive debits, but only one ticket is given to the customer.
