is bosnia a good first stop in the balkans?
So, I’ve been itching to finally visit Europe, and after a lot of back-and-forth, Bosnia and Herzegovina popped up on my radar. I know, not the usual Paris or Rome trip everyone raves about at book club! But I’ve read that the scenery is gorgeous and the food is supposed to be hearty and comforting—right up my alley.
Here’s the thing: I’m a little nervous. I keep hearing mixed reviews. Some folks say it’s a hidden gem, others warn about language barriers and getting around. I don’t want to spend my whole trip lost or struggling to order a cup of coffee. Plus, is it safe for someone who’s not exactly a spring chicken anymore? I want adventure, but not the kind where I’m dodging trouble!
If you’ve been to Bosnia and Herzegovina, what was your real experience? Did you find it welcoming for first-timers, especially for those of us who aren’t backpacking twenty-somethings? Any spots I should absolutely not miss—or avoid? And honestly, did you regret not picking a more classic European destination for your first trip? Let’s hear the good, the bad, and the ugly!
