Shocking! 90% of People Don't Know About This Visa-Free European Country | 6-Day In-Depth Bosnia Travel Guide

Before coming to Bosnia, I never expected this small Balkan country to surprise me so much! Prices are just 1/3 of Western Europe, Ottoman-style architecture fills the streets, and best of all—it's visa-free for Chinese passport holders!

💡 Practical Tips
1. Old town cobblestones are slippery—wear anti-slip shoes
2. Keep small change for mosque entries (3 KM)
3. Haggle hard at coppersmith street—start at half price
4. Off-season (Nov-Mar) many attractions close by 16:00

Take affordable cross-border buses from Belgrade/Dubrovnik. Stay in old town guesthouses—we loved Dariva Herend at just ¥200/person including Ottoman-style breakfast!
