Travelling on a shoestring budget can often seem like an uphill battle, despite the availability of low-cost flights and affordable hotel deals. However, one British TikToker, renowned for her budget-friendly tips, has revealed what she believes to be Europe's "most underrated" destination - Bosnia and Herzegovina - where you can enjoy an all-inclusive long weekend for less than £160. In a recent TikTok video, Em from @emsbudgettravel unveiled her top pick for 2024 after visiting nine countries so far this year.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, a beautiful Balkan nation, has recently become more accessible thanks to new, budget-friendly flights from Ryanair . "This is one of the most underrated countries in Europe and one of the cheapest I've been to," Em shared in her video. "I only spent £158.
44 in total for everything, including flights, accommodation, food, activities, transport-literally everything." Em's trip was centred around the capital city, Sarajevo, which she described as a beautiful and safe destination with friendly locals. Em spent most of her time in Sarajevo (Image: (Image: Getty)) Sarajevo is a city steeped in history, culture, and picturesque scenery, offering visitors a unique blend of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and modern influences.
For those looking to explore beyond the capital, Em recommends a day trip to Mostar, a small city just two hours away by train, reports the Express . Mostar is famous for its historic Stari Most bridge, where locals and tourists alike can witness the brave dive into the Neretva River below - a tradition that adds a magical charm to the city. Em highlighted the enchantment of their journey, saying: "The city felt so magical and it was the highlight of the trip for me.
" Em added, "Overall, it was an amazing trip, and I definitely wanted more than the four days I had here." Bosnia and Herzegovina are proving to be a treasure trove for savvy travellers, with luxe four-star hotels in Sarajevo available from just £45 per night. When sharing with someone else, the cost can drop to just over £20 per person each night, offering exceptional value for those watching their wallet while seeking adventure.
