One of the cheapest cities in Europe is suitable for beer lovers
When traveling to Europe in search of an inexpensive city for a vacation, many people usually look to the well-known tourist destinations. However, there's one surprising city you may not have heard of, where pints of beer cost as little as £1.75 and plane tickets from the UK are as little as £15.
Often overlooked, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country that hides many amazing surprises behind its horizons. For those who love history and inexpensive alcohol, this European corner can be a great choice, writes The Sun.
According to the travel expert group from eurochange, one of the cheapest beers can be bought in the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, for £1.75.
Beer lovers will also be interested in craft beer, including Zlatna Ribica and Gastropub Vucko, which are popular among locals and tourists alike. In addition, tourists will appreciate the cost of going to a restaurant - the price for a three-course meal can be around £11 per person.
What to do in Sarajevo
In addition to inexpensive food and drinks, there is plenty to see in the capital.
When tourists come to Sarajevo, they often pay attention to the symbolic places left after the Bosnian War. One of these places is the War Tunnel, or Tunnel of Hope, built in 1993 to provide the city with the necessary humanitarian supplies. Another attraction is the Museum of Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide of 1992-1995, which opened in 2016 and recalls the terrible events of the war to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
Three local languages are spoken in the country - Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian - but most tourist facilities usually speak English, making it easier for foreign visitors to communicate and get around the city.
Culture and gastronomy of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosanski lonac, a stew with vegetables, is one of the national dishes of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is a must-try when traveling to this country.
At the local markets, you can enjoy authentic cuisine, from cevapi to burek, as well as taste sweet cherry cakes or cheese beets.
The Turkish heritage is reflected in Bosnian bazaars, where you can find a variety of goods, including traditional coffee, clothing, and carpets, which adds to the authenticity of the travel experience.
Getting there and where to stay
Ryanair and Wizz Air both offer direct flights from the UK to Sarajevo starting from £15 for a one-way ticket, making the trip affordable for a wide range of travelers.
The flight duration from the UK to Sarajevo is approximately two hours and forty minutes.
The average cost of an overnight stay is £56. For example, Pigeon Square Rooms offers cozy accommodation just 150 meters from the city center for £38 per night. Alternatively, the five-star Enjoy Apartments Hotel is an option, also available at £38 per night per room.
As a reminder, if you miss the sun, there is one unique place in Europe with warm weather even in winter, TravelWise reported.
