Hiring a campervan in Sarajevo means starting out in the heart of the Balkans, in a capital where minarets, Orthodox and Catholic churches, a synagogue and Austro-Hungarian façades stand side by side at the bottom of the Miljacka valley. Within a few hours' drive you reach the turquoise waters of the Neretva, the Old Bridge of Mostar, the waterfalls of Jajce or the Olympic mountains of Jahorina and Bjelašnica.

Our partner Anywhere Campers offers vans for two, low-profile motorhomes and a family over-cab motorhome there, with manual or automatic gearboxes: suitable for couples and families alike.

  2. Konjic
  3. Jablanica
  4. Mostar
  5. Blagaj
  6. Počitelj
  7. Kravica Waterfalls
  8. Sarajevo

To the south, the road drops down to Konjic and its Ottoman bridge, runs along Lake Jablanica and then through the Neretva canyon to Mostar and its rebuilt Old Bridge. Blagaj and its tekke nestled at the foot of the cliff, the fortified village of Počitelj and the Kravica waterfalls complete the loop before heading back up the same valley, one of the most beautiful roads in the country.

  1. Sarajevo
  2. Travnik
  3. Jajce
  4. Pliva Lakes
  5. Bihać
  6. Una National Park
  7. Sarajevo

To the north-west, Travnik, the former town of the Ottoman viziers, leads to Jajce, where the Pliva tumbles in a waterfall at the foot of the citadel. The water mills of the Pliva lakes open the road to the Krajina and Una National Park, with its rapids and the great Štrbački buk waterfall near Bihać. A green, little-visited loop best done at a relaxed pace.

Distance
about 700 km

  4. Sutjeska National Park
  5. Piva Canyon

To the east, the Drina valley leads to Višegrad and its UNESCO-listed Ottoman bridge. Via Foča you enter Sutjeska National Park, with the Perućica primeval forest and Mount Maglić, before crossing into Montenegro through the Piva canyon to Žabljak, at the foot of Durmitor. The narrow, unlit tunnels of the Piva are easier to get through in a campervan.

Weather and seasons

When to go in Sarajevo?

Best time

September and October

September to October
highs 18 to 23 °C, lows 7 to 11 °C

The best time to leave from Sarajevo: less rain, clear roads and forests turning red on Mount Igman and around the Pliva lakes. Herzegovina stays mild, ideal for the grape harvest and a last swim at Kravica in September, while nights get noticeably cooler in October.

High season

July and August

July to August
highs 28 °C, lows 15 °C

Days are hot and long in Sarajevo, but nights stay cool thanks to the altitude of the valley. This is the busiest season, both in Herzegovina, much hotter than the capital, and in Sarajevo during the film festival in mid-August: book campsites and vehicle early.

Winter

November to March

November to March
highs 6 to 12 °C, lows -4 to 3 °C

Winter is cold and often snowy in the Sarajevo basin, where pollution lingers in calm weather, and November is the wettest month. The Olympic resorts of Jahorina and Bjelašnica then draw skiers: a heated motorhome lets you spend a few nights there, checking road conditions before each climb.

April to June

April to June
highs 17 to 25 °C, lows 4 to 14 °C

Spring turns the mountains green and swells the Neretva and the Una, at their best for waterfalls and rafting. May and June are still rainy, though, with late-afternoon storms, and the high roads of the Sutjeska can still have snow in April.

Practical tips

Everything to know before hitting the road

Sarajevo, a long, narrow city

Sarajevo stretches from east to west along the Miljacka, with one main road that is often congested and districts clinging to very steep slopes. Avoid the lanes of Baščaršija and the hillsides in a motorhome: leave the vehicle at the campsite or in a car park on the edge of town and take public transport to the centre.

Headlights on and winter equipment

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, dipped headlights are compulsory day and night. From mid-November to mid-April, winter equipment is required: check with the rental company that the vehicle has it, especially to drive up to Jahorina or Bjelašnica or to cross the passes in the east of the country.

Stay on marked roads and paths

Minefields left over from the war remain in the countryside and mountains of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including on the heights around Sarajevo. Do not park on waste ground or an unmaintained track, do not leave marked trails and respect the red skull-and-crossbones signs.

The A1 motorway and mountain roads

The A1 toll motorway links Sarajevo to Zenica in the north and continues in sections to the south. Elsewhere, the network is made up of winding two-lane roads where you often drive behind lorries: distances look short on the map but take a long time to cover. Plan modest daily stages.

What travellers ask

Your questions about a road trip in Sarajevo

Where can I pick up a campervan in Sarajevo?

Our partner company in Sarajevo is Anywhere Campers, which hands over its vehicles at its depot in the Bosnian capital. The exact address and the time of your appointment are given in your booking confirmation. Try to arrive in daylight: getting to know the vehicle takes time before tackling the city traffic.

How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Sarajevo?

The price depends mainly on the season, the length of hire and the vehicle chosen, from a van for two to an over-cab motorhome for six. July and August are the most popular months. Run a search with your dates to see the real offers, mandatory fees included, and add tolls, fuel and campsite nights to your budget.

Which motorhomes can I hire in Sarajevo?

The models found range from the Van for 2, for two people, to the Carado T-447, Sunlight T 68 and Adria Matrix low-profile motorhomes, up to the Sunlight A70 over-cab motorhome with six berths. Almost all of them come with a manual or an automatic gearbox, a real comfort on Bosnia's mountain roads.

Can I do a one-way trip from Sarajevo to Blagaj?

Blagaj, next to Mostar and 71 km away as the crow flies, is also a departure town of our partners; the drive through the Neretva valley takes a little over two hours. When the offer allows a one-way trip, any fees are included in the displayed price as soon as you choose Blagaj as your return location.

Can I drive to Croatia or Montenegro with a campervan hired in Sarajevo?

Dubrovnik, the Dalmatian coast and Durmitor are tempting, but leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina requires the rental company's consent and insurance valid in every country you cross, sometimes for an extra fee. Check the permitted countries in the offer conditions, keep the vehicle papers to hand and expect waiting times at the borders in summer.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Sarajevo

What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

A category B licence is enough for campervans and motorhomes under 3.5 tonnes. An international driving permit is advisable if your licence is not written in Latin characters or does not follow a format recognised in Europe. The minimum age and years of driving required by the rental company are shown in the conditions of each offer.

Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome around Sarajevo?

The most convenient campsites are in Ilidža, west of the city, near the source of the Bosna. In the mountains and in Herzegovina, many family campsites and farms also welcome motorhomes. Wild camping is not allowed everywhere: check the local rules before settling in for the night.

How do I get to the depot from Sarajevo airport?

Sarajevo International Airport is in Butmir, south-west of the city, about twenty minutes from the centre by taxi. Anywhere Campers gives the vehicle handover location in the confirmation: send your flight number to arrange the appointment and plan a taxi if the depot is not nearby.

When should I book a campervan in Sarajevo?

With a single partner company and a limited choice of models, it is best to book several months ahead for July and August, especially if you want an automatic gearbox or a large family vehicle. In September and October, a few weeks are often enough, as in winter outside the ski holidays.

What currency do I need in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

The currency is the convertible mark (KM), pegged to the euro. Cards are accepted at petrol stations, supermarkets and restaurants in Sarajevo and Mostar, but small campsites, markets and mountain villages often prefer cash. Withdraw marks before leaving the capital; euros are sometimes accepted, at an unfavourable rate.

About us

Why start a motorhome trip from Sarajevo

Sarajevo lies at the centre of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Herzegovina, the Krajina and the Drina valley are all less than a day's drive away, so you can vary your loops without long transfers. The city itself deserves two days, between the Baščaršija bazaar, the Tunnel of Hope dug during the siege and the cable car up Mount Trebević.

Our partner Anywhere Campers rents vehicles there from vans for two to family over-cab motorhomes, with manual or automatic gearboxes. Blagaj, another departure town 71 km away as the crow flies, lets you combine Sarajevo and Herzegovina on a one-way trip. The climate is best for travelling from July to October, and the proximity of Croatia and Montenegro opens the way to a grand tour of the Balkans.
