Visitor tips

  1. 1

    Allow about 210 minutes for a normal visit, with extra time for photographs, queues, worship, interpretation or rest.

  2. 2

    Carry small local-currency cash because minor parking, donations or rural services may not always accept cards.

  3. 3

    Dress respectfully at active religious and memorial sites and avoid disrupting worship, funerals or commemorations.

  4. 4

    Reconfirm the trailhead, pier, operator base, visitor entrance or road condition.

  5. 5

    Stay on marked or clearly used routes. Bosnia and Herzegovina still has mine and unexploded-ordnance risk in some rural areas.
