Q.5 I personally can handle long bus journeys but the person I’m coming with cannot - on occasion the 1 long bus journey is acceptable if necessary but for the most part it is not a valid option. Is Sarajevo & Mostar worth a visit? Is Belgrade worth a visit?Q.6 By best I mean length of time.
A lot of your Balkan destinations might be scorchingly hot in Summer. Your plans are a bit city heavy. You might want to find places with nature to cool off ;) If you're in Slovenia, I can really recommend the lake of Bohinj (get off in Bohinjska Bistrica), at the footsteps of the Julian Alps and Triglav national park. There's quite some tourism, but much less en more respectful for the local environment in comparison to overpopular lake Bled. There are free busses to get you to the lake and the mountains. Spend a whole week there last summer, and really enjoyed all the hiking possibilities, swimming and outdoor activities you can do there. You might want to book early to find a nice self-catering unit. I’m aware that it is very city heavy - but it’s only a guide I’ve set out for myself as a general route because I am not particularly well travelled enough to know great places. I will openly take your Slovenia recommendation in my notes. I am also very inexperienced in the heat due
Thanks for the help everyone - I'll be travelling with my partner which has the same budget so hopefully we can sustain the budget for as long as possible...we really do not want to go back to Scottish weather early.Im really surprised at how quick and thorough the replies have been, a treasure trove of information!
Hello!At the time of travel, I'll be 22 at the time and will have gone through 4 years of university so I'm done with all the relentless alcohol and I'm also not a smoker. I aim to stay away from the attention grabbing umbrellas and groups and sort of go my own way through it all with a bit of advice. The stereotypes you will have on British are, albeit a fair stereotype, not applicable to me I believe and so the big party and booze stuff isn't very attractive for me on this journey.Hopefully this gives context as to the longevity of my budget in extending my stay!
Hi, thanks for the help! Sofia is already my destination, it's a 2 month trip and I will be reaching Sofia from Varna on the coast after visiting Bucharest. Belgrade seemed like a good point throughout my European journey. If Belgrade doesn't offer much, where should I go?(I should note, I want to go to Sarajevo and Mostar in Bosnia and also go to Croatia)
