Travel Summary

There is an underlying threat from terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Attacks, although unlikely, could be indiscriminate, including in places frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.

In recent years there have been a number of demonstrations in various locations across Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly in Sarajevo and Banja Luka. Some have targeted Western interests. Visitors should be aware that any demonstration or large gathering has the potential to turn violent, and should remain vigilant.

Unexploded landmines remain a real danger, particularly in isolated areas in the mountains and countryside. You should therefore be careful not to stray from roads and paved areas without an experienced guide. See Local Travel.

An increasing number of British tourists visit Bosnia and Herzegovina each year. Most visits are trouble-free. See General - Consular Assistance Statistics. The level of crime against foreigners is low, but you should be aware of pickpockets in the tourist and pedestrian areas of Sarajevo and other cities, and on public transport.

We recommend that you obtain comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. This insurance should cover medical evacuation by air ambulance. See General - Insurance.
