Traveling on a budget can often seem like a daunting task, even with the availability of low-cost flights and affordable hotel deals.
But a British TikTokerknown for her savvy budget advice, has discovered what she calls Europe's “most underrated” destination –Bosnia and Herzegovina – where you can enjoy a long weekend for less than £160, all inclusive.
In a recent TikTok video, Em de @emsbudgettravel has revealed his top pick for 2024 after visiting nine countries so far this year.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a beautiful country Balkan nation that has recently become more accessible thanks to new budget flights from Ryanair.
“It’s one of the most underrated countries in Europe and one of the cheapest I’ve been to,” Em shared in her video.
“I only spent £158.44 in total on everything including flights, accommodation, food, activities, transport, literally everything.”
Em's trip focused on the capital, Sarajevo, which she described as a beautiful, safe destination with friendly locals.
Sarajevo is a city rich in history, culture and picturesque landscapes, offering visitors a unique blend of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and modern influences.
For those looking to explore beyond the capital, Em recommends a day trip to Mostar, a small town just two hours away by train.
Mostar is famous for its historic Stari Most bridge, where locals and tourists can witness the brave plunge into the Neretva River below – a tradition that adds a magical charm to the city.
Em noted: “The city was so magical and it was the highlight of the trip for me.
“Overall, it was an incredible trip, and I definitely wanted more than the four days I spent here.”
Bosnia and Herzegovina offers incredible value for money for travellers, with four-star hotels in Sarajevo costing as little as £45 per night.
Splitting the cost with a travel companion means just over £20 each per night, making it an ideal destination for budget-conscious adventurers.
