I've been to Sarajevo many times and made many wonderful memories. Food is great, people are lovely, stunning architecture and always something to do/see.
I'd love to got Sarajevo but there are no direct flights sadly, and I don't have enough time off to lose a day to connections!
Come on airlines, get a direct flight on the books, it'll be well used!0 -

Try and avoid the Old Town when the cruise ships are in port. It gets really crowded. Ask at your hotel and they should be able to advise you on the best times to visit (we stayed at the St Petersburgh hotel - wonderful)!Normal people worry me.0 -

We got to Sarajevo by flying to Croatia [Split], bus to Mostar, train to Sarajevo.
It's well worth investing a bit more time, and see more of the area.0 -

Just like PompeyPete, thoroughly recommend Transylvania. Have done it in both the summer and over a new Year.
New Year - four feet of snow and -28(have the pictures) but nothing stops them.
Summer - 35 degrees and green.
Beautiful country, lovely people and cheap.
Croatia is another. I've stayed in Cavtat and it's a small boat ride away from Dubrovnik. Easy drive into Montenegro (apart from the queues at the crossing - both ways) and Bosnia and Herzegovina.0 -
Where did you fly from and who with please?
From Gatwick with easyJet @ £101.50 each return including 20kg each. Went last September.
Stayed in a small studio for 2 nights near Split Old Town. Had a full day out to Hvar by ferry.
Bus to Mostar [3.5 hours]. 4 nights in Mostar.
Train to Sarajevo [2.5 hours]. 6 nights in Sarajevo.
Retraced our steps to Split.
All accommodation booked on Booking.com, making sure that the accommodation was central but within a short distance from transport hubs.
Very simple to arrange.0 -
Thank you Shikakui, we are definitely doing Slovenia and Romania (as much as we can!) Will have to take a better look at Macedonia.. so many places, not enough time!

Ah this sounds like the route we're looking at taking to Sarajevo, PompeyPete. So many people have recommended the city to us, we're kind of detouring to see it!0
