- We spend 3 days exploring THE BEST OF BOSNIA! We start our BOSNIAN ROAD TRIP with stops at Kravice Waterfalls and Pocitelj before heading to Sarajevo. We take walking tours through Sarajevo and try some DELICIOUS BOSNIAN FOOD. Our adventure continues in Mostar where we explore the beautiful old town of Mostar.
On this episode of Mapping It, we spend three days road tripping around Bosnia. Our first day is spent driving from Split, in Croatia, to Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Our first stop on the five hour drive is Kravice Waterfalls - a very scenic massive waterfall that you can swim at! After getting jealous at everyone swimming (because we didn’t know you could swim there, so we were unprepared), we head to the riverside town of Pocitelj.
Pocitelj was brutally destroyed during the civil war in the 1990s and then carefully rebuilt. It’s now a great example of Ottoman architecture.
We wrap up our time exploring the Bosnian countryside with a delicious meal of spit-roasted lamb at Restoran Kovacevic Jablanica.
We finally make it to Sarajevo at the end of the first day of our EPIC BOSNIAN ROAD TRIP. We have 24 hours to explore the city so we decide to join two SARAJEVO WALKING TOURS to learn more about the history of Sarajevo.
In between tours, we walk through the old town and have some incredible food! We try Cevapi and Burek and instantly fall in love with the delicious flavors of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

With our time in Sarajevo coming to a close, we head over to Mostar to explore this beautiful city in Bosnia and Herzegovina! We enjoy some delicious meals, including an epic meat platter with Cevapi! We visit some iconic spots in Mostar including Stari Most, the historic old bridge, and a beautiful mosque. We make a detour to explore Blagaj and the old Turkish monastery that’s tucked into a cave. We also stop at a Bosnian grocery store and pick up some tasty snacks. Join us as we explore Mostar!
We hope you enjoy coming along on our adventures!

We're Karin and Jeremy! Just an average couple with a love for travel. We work full-time jobs that only offer limited vacation time, so we work hard to get the most out of our holidays. Join us on our adventures as we maximize our time off on Mapping It.
A few fun facts about Bosnia and Herzegovina:
1. The potato "burek" you ate in Sarajevo is not called burek actually. It's called krompirusa. "Pita" or a pie is the name for all the cheese or vegetable stuffed pies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the name "burek" is reserved only for the meat filled pie.
2. The tradition of jumping off the Mostar's old bridge for money collected from the onlookers is almost as old as the bridge itself. An Ottoman Turkish travel writer Evlija Celebija wrote about it in the 16th century on his travels across the Herzegovina.
Thank you for visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina. 💙
That's really interesting information and great to know! Thanks for sharing with us! We loved exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina, seeing the beautiful scenery and the historic cities and trying delicious food! Thanks for watching!
Thank you both for the great video! 😊 I often watch videos of tourists and travel vlogers due to my job requirements and I must say that so far this one is the Best about visiting BiH and Sarajevo. So clear, informative and true . Also, I must say that you two are great couple, relaxed , full of positive energy and it can be seen that you are enjoying your time 😊. THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤
That's awesome, we're glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I like how you keep it real and honest in your vlogs. Karin is definitely keeping the videos alive. Jeremy is so quiet and usually has a frozen smile. Assuming he's very shy or nervous? Still, I enjoy your videos and like that they're not too polished and glamorous, since that's unrealistic for my travel.
We definitely try to keep it real in our vlogs because life isn't perfect, even when you're on vacation! Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing can't wait to go there.
We loved Bosnia! The food, the history, the people, the scenery, it was all wonderful! Thanks for watching!

We're glad to hear that locals love Irma just as much as we do - the food was the best! Thanks for watching!

We loved exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina, such a beautiful country! Thanks for watching!
💚💚💚💚
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing! Love the details about all the food tastings. Can u also please share the name of your accomodation in Mostar?
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it! The hotel we stayed at is Kriva Ćuprija, here's a link to their website (not an affiliate link): hotel-mostar.ba
“ dig in deep that’s what she said “ that’s funny. I left Bosnia in 1997. when I was 12 years old and in year 2000 I left Europe for US currently living in Potato State. I visit Bosnia every 3-5 years and I always want to try dairy products in Bosnia because it’s 100% organic but I can’t because I am allergic, but one day when I go to Bosnia I will try Bosnian Yogurt I don’t care if I end up in ER. Bosnia and Switzerland are the 2 most beautiful countries in Europe
The all Bosnian food we tried was delicious! Hopefully on your next visit you'll be able to have some of the dairy, it was so good! Thanks for watching!
hey guys ❤ can you tell me whether or not all the flowers are still in bloom in Bosnia throughout October?
We've only been to Bosnia in July, so we're not sure if the flowers will still be in bloom in October. It might depend on what the weather is like and if there's been a lot of rain/cold days. Thanks for watching!
are you guys getting more than 2 weeks off a year for vacation? Seems like you are doing longer trips lately? I'm heading to Hawaii in a week. Can't wait!
When we go on vacations, we usually can only take 1 or 2 weeks off at a time (maybe 3 weeks if we're very luck and save up all our vacation time). Our trip around the Balkans was an epic 2-week adventure across Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro. Overall, we probably get about 4 weeks off throughout the year when you also factor in paid holidays and such (when we can, we try to plan our vacations around holidays to help stretch our vacation time). We also try to fit in smaller weekend adventures when possible by exploring areas around the US. Hawaii sounds amazing, have a great trip!
My favorite Restaurant in Mostar is called “ SADRVAN “ I always go there when I visit Bosnia and for BUREK in Sarajevo at the corner of the building near Forever Fire place
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
Hi, what's your suggestion traveling there in December? Or should I wait for summer
We haven't been to Bosnia in winter, so we're not sure what it's like, but we've seen pictures of Sarajevo surrounded by snow-covered mountains, which looked really pretty, so winter is probably a very nice time to visit. When we visited in summer, it was very hot, so if you don't like the heat, we'd recommend avoiding the summer months. Hope this helps you plan your trip and thanks for watching!
You can buy cevapi seasoning in USA Iralian store,European store
That's great to know, we loved it so much! Thanks for sharing!
You are a wonderful couple and thank you for visiting my homeland, and I'm really sorry that the wrestlers robbed you of your tickets to the cow waterfall! The ticket price is 20 BAM (10 euros). You should have checked the prices online in advance! Unfortunately, corruption is the biggest symptom of the disease called nationalism in my country! Citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina who consider themselves Croats prefer Croatia and work for their interests, destroying in every possible way the reputation, economy, security, etc. of Bosnia and Herzegovina, because their goal is to destroy the country, and that part that they ethnically cleansed of all those who did not considered themselves Croats, eventually joined Croatia! That's why I recommend all tourists to inform themselves about the prices in advance!
We loved our time exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina, it's so beautiful! Thanks for sharing that info, it will be good to know for the future.
next time visit us ,pliz.thx
