Camping in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Special features of camping in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Nature lovers are particularly drawn to camping in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Holidaymakers can enjoy swimming and sports on the coast.

Destinations in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina inspires with enchanting gorge landscapes, mountain ranges and historic city centres from Sarajevo to the Drina region and the Adriatic Sea.

Holidays on the Adriatic coast in Neum

Neum is the only stretch of coast in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is considered a real insider tip throughout Europe. Holidaymakers will find first-class campsites in the immediate vicinity of the Adriatic beaches. If you feel like it, you can not only go swimming here, but also enjoy exciting sports such as diving, sailing and surfing.

Culture in Sarajevo and the surrounding area

Culturally, the capital Sarajevo is an absolute must. During a camping holiday in Bosnia and Herzegovina, it is worth visiting the old town with its old bazaar, many coffee houses and grill restaurants. The Turkish influence can be felt everywhere. Some of the best campsites in Bosnia and Herzegovina are located just a few minutes outside Sarajevo, for example in the mountains of the Romanija region.

The bridge over the Drina and breathtaking gorge landscapes

Višegrad in the far east of Bosnia and Herzegovina belongs to the Republic of Srpska and is also known for its UNESCO-protected Drina Bridge from the Ottoman era. In addition to a tour of the city, an excursion along the turquoise-coloured Drina is highly recommended. Just a few minutes to the north, you can see the mighty cliffs that separate Bosnia and Herzegovina from Serbia.

Best time to visit

Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterised by two climate zones, the Mediterranean coast and the continental interior. The seaside season usually begins in June, when the water gradually becomes pleasantly warm for swimming. In July and August, temperatures in the Adriatic rise to well over 20 degrees Celsius. In the air, the thermometer often reads over 30 degrees Celsius. The cities in the lowlands, especially Mostar and Sarajevo, are similarly hot in summer. When travelling up into the mountain ranges, you should pack warm clothing. The somewhat milder months of April, May, September and October are well suited for city tours.
