Bosnia is easy for families: nature is minutes away, distances are short and the pace is calm.
Vrelo Bosne: a walk for all ages
Wide green space, clear water and ducks that eat from children's hands. Take a picnic and stay all day.
Mount Trebević by cable car
Children love the ride itself; at the top are easy paths, restaurants with a view, and the old Olympic bobsleigh track, now an open-air mural.
Skakavac waterfall
One of the highest waterfalls in Bosnia, a short drive north of Sarajevo, reached by a forest walk.
The Olympic mountains: Jahorina and Bjelašnica
Skiing and children's ski schools in winter; cool air, meadows and bikes in summer.
Shopping and play
Large centres such as Sarajevo City Center (SCC) and BBI have shops, restaurants and play areas — good for rainy days.
Tip: in summer, start early outdoors and keep shopping and restaurants for the evening.
Opening hours and prices change — check before you go.
