Things to do in Bosnia and Herzegovina and what it costs
These are the things to do in Bosnia and Herzegovina we would not miss, with prices in KM.
The currency is the convertible mark (KM, BAM), fixed at about 1.96 KM to one euro, so 1 KM is roughly €0.51. Euros are accepted in many tourist places, but you will usually get change in KM. Cards work in hotels and larger restaurants; keep cash for cafes, markets and small towns.
