Before you go
Book these aheadWar Childhood Museum (day 2): timed tickets, or tickets that often sell out.
Use the tramTram line 3 runs from Baščaršija to Ilidža. Buy a ticket at a kiosk or from the driver and validate it after boarding.
Keep some Bosnian marksMarkets, small stalls and some museum desks work best with Bosnian marks (KM), so carry a little cash.
Dress for mosquesCover shoulders and knees at mosques and churches, and take off your shoes at mosque doors.
Visit memorials with careMarkale, the Tunnel of Hope and the siege museums are memorials. Keep voices low and ask before photographing people.
Plan around MondaysThe National Museum is closed on Mondays and the cable car opens at noon, so swap day 3 with another day.
Carry photo IDCanada advises visitors to carry photo ID, such as a passport, because local authorities can ask for it.
