Carry BAM, use local transport apps, and stay on established routes
Bosnia and Herzegovina rewards preparation because its most useful services are local and fragmented.
Carry convertible marks (BAM): cards work at many hotels, larger shops and city restaurants, but cash remains necessary for taxis, small businesses, station fees and rural stops. The official rate is fixed at EUR 1 = BAM 1.95583, yet BAM is the only valid payment currency, so do not rely on paying in euros. Uber and Bolt are absent. Use licensed taxis, insist on the meter, confirm luggage charges and arrange a trusted airport pickup when timing matters.
Glovo ended national operations on August 10, 2026; Korpa and Zapp are the current delivery choices. Sarajevo and Mostar use different local transit tools, while intercity buses and a limited rail network require direct timetable checks. Mines and unexploded ordnance remain a real risk away from known routes. The BHMAC app is an awareness aid, not proof that unmarked ground is safe.
