We didn’t get gas in Bosnia since we just did a day trip. If I had to guess, I’d think you would need to pay with Euros, though. But they also probably take credit cards.

Cheers,
Melanie

We did not pay a border crossing fee with our rental car company, Oryx. We specifically chose that company because at that time they did not charge a fee. (I don’t know if they charge one now or not – it’s been a few years.)

Cheers!
Melanie

Gosh, great question. We didn’t have kids yet when we traveled to Europe, so I didn’t even notice things like changing tables. I will say that having a stroller in Mostar would be a nightmare because of the cobblestone streets. So if you travel there with your 8mo old, bring a carrier to schlep them around in. I would travel there with my daughter – we felt very safe while we were there. If you’re renting a car, I recommend calling to ask about car seats, or just bringing your own.

I should also note we didn’t stay overnight in Mostar, so we weren’t there after dark. But I’d happily go there nowadays during the daytime with my 3 year old.

Cheers!
Melanie

We walked throughout all of the places in Mostar we wanted to see, and I don’t recall it being tricky. One note for travelers with small children, though – the cobblestone streets would make it very unpleasant to bring a stroller. Also, we do have a higher tolerance for walking than some people – we’ve been known to walk 10+ miles a day while traveling just because we enjoy seeing the cities we visit by foot. However, Mostar has a fairly compact tourist area so it was one of the easiest to view by foot.

Safe & Happy travels to you!
Melanie

Parking in Mostar was a piece of cake. We were glad we had small Euro bills with us. I can’t recall how much parking was, maybe 5 Euro? I vaguely remember that only euro currency was accepted and you had to have exact change. But the parking lot we found was nice and safe, we had no issues. It has been years now, though (we traveled in 2015), so things may now be a lot different. If you have time, leave us a note after your trip so others can know what to expect.

Safe & Happy travels!
Melanie

Thanks for the great article! I’m planning on doing this day trip from Split as well! How was parking while in Bosnia? We plan to drive from Split in the morning, spend most of the day in Bosnia and depart after seeing the Mostar bridge lit up the evening. Then driving on to Dubrovnik. Just worried parking is a bit difficult. Going in late September!
Thanks!!

Great informative blog here. Just want to ask if the Mostar city centre is accessible by foot when checking scenes around or do you have to take some kind of transpo to see the nice locations? Also, what’s the level of English that people speak in Bosnia?

Planning to visit together with Croatian cities on Sept this year. Needed to make more commitment to my own travel blog where I want to complete visiting 30 countries before I turn 30 — http://www.WhereToVisitNext.com
