Depending on how much time you have before your departure, you may want to engage in some last-minute shopping or souvenir hunting. Get some unique items to remind you of your great European road trip across Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, and Croatia. If shopping isn’t your thing, visit some of the lesser-known attractions you have yet to discover.
On your last day in Bosnia & Herzegovina, take time to indulge in shopping at Sarajevo’s popular marketplace, Importanne Center. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Eternal Flame, a photogenic monument before you head out.
Get a last taste of Bosnia & Herzegovina’s tasty traditional food. Choose from a curated list of the best local food and drink spots in Sarajevo and enjoy what may be your last vacation meal of this trip. Look forward to recreating these distinct culinary experiences in your own kitchen later to remind you of your unforgettable road trip across Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, and Croatia.
Treat yourself to a delightful dinner at Cafe & Restoran Ahar, highly recommended for tonight's dining. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, why not try Restoran Lights? It's another excellent option with a diverse menu.
The time has come to say farewell to Sarajevo for now. You will realize that you’re traveling home with more than you came with as you look back at your 13-day European road trip in Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, and Croatia with fond memories. Safe travels!
