I'll be honest, I had no idea what to expect when we started our research on getting to Mostar from Sarajevo. There were buses that ran constantly but like most people, we prefer trains. This is what it's like riding on the Sarajevo to Mostar train!
If you're planning to take this train, then be prepared to wake up early! The train leaves every morning around 7:15am. There is a train that runs at this time, departing from both Sarajevo & Mostar (we even passed the one running from Mostar to Sarajevo but we didn't get it on camera). We woke up bright and early and walked over to the Sarajevo train station.
We purchased our tickets the night before so all we had to do was show the person at the desk our confirmation number that was sent to our email. Nice and easy! Quickly after grabbing our receipt we made our way through the station, up the platform, and onto the train.
The ride is SO smooth & provides some of the most stunning views of the Bosnian countryside. This train ride is one of the best kept secrets in Europe and something you HAVE to take if you're in Bosnia. There are excellent facilities on the train. It's equipped with a nice bar car & plenty of bathrooms, as well as more than enough bag storage if you're traveling with a lot like we are. After about two hours we arrived in Mostar!
We made the short walk to our Airbnb, dropped our bags off, & finished the morning with the greatest breakfast we've ever had at a restaurant called Urban Grill. We CANNOT recommend this restaurant enough. It's a must-stop if you're in Mostar.
Thank you so much for tuning in! We can't wait to show you around this beautiful city in a few days. See ya soon!

the biggest tip for the ride from sarajevo to mostar is "SIT ON THE LEFT SIDE!!!" on the left you get to see all the amazing views and on the right 90% of the time its a wall

[@ProbablyLost]

Definitely!! The views from the left side are unmatched!! Thanks so much for watching!!!!

[@ishh911]

@@ProbablyLost how do we know which is the left side? Left side if facing the direction of the train route?

[@DanielM19931]

The Balkans is surpringly some of the most beautiful rides you'll get in Europe. I went from Munich to Ljubljana and the views were stunning, going down through Bosnia from Croatia was so-so but this ride was something to this day I'll never forget, my eyes were absolutely blessed

[@ProbablyLost]

Man I couldn't agree more with you on that!!! It's a region of Europe that I feel is super popular with budget travelers but gets overlooked far too often by people going on vacation to Europe. The entire time we stayed in Bosnia we couldn't believe the beauty, & this train experience was unquestionably the highlight of our time. It's incredibly cheap & so underrated!!!

[@HaleyandZach]

This has been one of, if not, the best train ride we have taken! We took the train from Mostar to Sarajevo and it leaves at something like 6am! Cheers!

[@ProbablyLost]

Nice!!! You guys probably felt like we did when deciding whether or not to take a train or bus. Nothing beats a great train ride and for the price, you just can't beat it. Thank you guys so much for watching!!

[@damianmccoy6128]

I’m watching this while staying in Dubrovnik. I visited Mostar yesterday, the old town is beautiful and the colour of the water in the Neretva is unbelievable. The countryside is beautiful and the Kravice waterfalls were a welcome respite to the heat.

[@ProbablyLost]

Man, I can't recommend enough trying to find a way to take this train journey. Sarajevo's such a cool city & definitely worth a day trip if possible. You're absolutely right about the Neretva. It's unbelievably emerald. And it's sooooo much colder than we anticipated😂 Enjoy Dubrovnik & try to get into the water if you can. It's crystal clear in some spots & makes for a great way to get out of the heat. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video Damian!! We really appreciate it!!!

[@damirbato5686]

Next time you get a chance visit Una river (Strbački Buk) Bihać region its probably the most beautiful river in all of Europe.Also while you were there in that area you should have stopped in Pocitelj little further down south :)

[@marie-christinpropf9548]

I did that trip 2 days ago and were lucky to sit on the left side of tje train both ways. I was tired as we needed to get up pretty early but I couldn't take ky eyes off the window. I actually didn't do some research about the ride in advance but maybe that was good so I could enjoy this trip and have been stunned the whole 2 hrs which went by so fast. 😮😊 This train ride is a big hidden gem in Europe!

[@ProbablyLost]

It seriously is!! We can’t wait to do it again one day!!!

[@iamados]

Taking this train in a week time for the first time. Kinda little late since Im from Sarajevo lol. Very excited tho, ans I am glad you liked it. You’re always welcome to our beautiful country.

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you so much for the kind words Adnan!!! It's seriously the most beautiful train ride we've had so far this year. Bosnia's so underrated & we talk almost daily about how we can't wait to go back. We love it!!!

[@iamados]

So good to hear that. If you need any tips about Sarajevo/places to visit in Bosnia, let me know and I’ll help you. I am looking forward myself to this train ride now in 5 days time.

[@MacTravellers]

It's great when the train follows the river like that, beautiful!

[@ProbablyLost]

It definitely makes for the best views!! Trains are definitely our preferred method of transportation. It's really relaxing to us for some reason😂

[@janminor1848]

Wow... such a beautiful train ride. That emerald green river is a-m-a-z-i-n-g!! (Wonder what makes it such a rich shade of green...) 🤔 Umm, I believe the sugar packets were larger than the coffee. Lol! Enjoy your exploration and bring us some more great videos. Look forward to seeing what you've discovered there!

[@ProbablyLost]

That was EXACTLY the case. There was more sugar in the packets than coffee in the cups🤣 That's how they do it over here though. The coffees are so small & we're still not completely used to it. We can't wait to show you how awesome Mostar is!!!!

[@bosnianmusic7580]

Interesting fact about this river that you probably don't know. Wikipedia: The Upper Neretva has water of Class I purity and is almost certainly the coldest river water in the world, often as low as 7-8 degrees Celsius in the summer months. Search: Which Is The Coldest River In The World?

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you for the information!! One of the first things we did when we arrived in Mostar was put our feet in the river down below the bridge and it was COLDDD. I can’t imagine how cold it is up near the source. Thanks so much for watching our video!!

[@safetmutapcija7156]

River flows thru limestone all the way and since it is clear water and limestone is reflecting just green/blue part of visible color wave thru water, Neretva is getting this color :)

[@TheEddyrose1]

As usual, beautiful video! Kind of reminds me of a train ride along the Rhine river in Germany, very similar scenery. Thanks again for your hard work posting these for us to enjoy.

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you so much for the kind words Eddy!! That's one thing that we CANNOT WAIT for later this year. Germany's at the top of our bucket list & I think we're going to spend the entire last month of the year there. We can't wait for it!!!!

[@libertas5005]

Glad you two had such a great time! I love that train line, traveled quite a lot along the Neretva valley as a student.

[@ProbablyLost]

Oh my gosh it's truly one of the most magnificent train rides we've ever taken. We've talked so much about getting back over there so that we can take this train ride again. We just loved our entire visit to Bosnia. They don't tell you about how beautiful the country is! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our vlog!!!😊

[@nadajekic6872]

MOJ VOZ DRAGI, NAJDRAZI SARAJEVO- MOSTAR- PLOCHE ! THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE, GOING ON HOLIDAY TO SEA SIDE WITH FRIENDS EVERT SUMMER. I LOVE THIS TRAIN SO MUCH THIS VOYAGE.😁

[@ProbablyLost]

Oh I love that!!! We talk about how amazing this train journey was all the time. It's so worth waking up early in the morning to enjoy the morning views. We can't wait to do it again at some point!!!! Thank you so much for watching our vlog!!😊

[@metabalcanico]

Did a Sarajevo - Mostar train trip around the same time as you guys. Very smooth experience, pretty chill too. Loved the scenery

[@ProbablyLost]

Man it's hands down the best train ride we've had all year. It's affordable, not very long, has a food car, & (mostly) clean bathrooms. And with views like this, it's unbeatable in my opinion!! Thank you very much for taking the time to watch our video!!

Great video. Hope you visit the UK again too xx

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you so much!! If we're being completely honest, I'm (Trey) in love with the UK. We talk about that month we spent there every day & I'd love nothing more than to do another month there to see even more. It's probably my favorite place we've been to so far!!

[@COMEINTOMYWORLD]

@@ProbablyLost Awww super cool xx

[@STASHYNSKYI]

Trebinje is must see 😍 . Banjaluka also .

[@ProbablyLost]

There's just SO much in Bosnia to see. We spent three weeks there and still wish we'd stayed longer!!

[@nerminsnowhuseinbasic9340]

Bosnia is beautiful country, traveling with train to the sea was one of few good experiences of my life. Also Bosnia could do more if people who generally speak the same language would focus more on economics(tourism, agriculture etc) and less on ethnic fights and endless "us vs them vs those" stupidity. In Bosnia you can really meet exceptional people, see amazing nature and heritage and for people from EU, USA etc. stuff here is really cheap and hospitality is probably the best in the world.

[@ProbablyLost]

It's definitely an incredible country!! I think the thing for us was that it just completely shattered our expectations of what we thought we'd experience. As Americans, our first thought is naturally to think about the war when we think of Bosnia. Which is why A) we wanted to visit so bad & B) we were so blown away by every aspect of it (i.e. the culture, the people, the food, etc.). We fell in love with Bosnia & always tell our friends back home that they really need to travel there at some point. It's such a stunning, beautiful country. We can't wait to get back! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video Nermin, we really appreciate it!!!:)

[@chrhinske4873]

I did the ride today. Left Sarajevo at 07:15 AM on a rainy Monday. Was still a nice experience and a long day. Arrived back at Sarajevo around 7:30pm. Was a really good experience:)

[@ProbablyLost]

That's awesome!!! It's a lot more pleasant of a journey than we expected honestly. We didn't really set our expectations very high but man it really blew us away. It's a fantastic little trip & has some INSANE views. So glad you enjoyed it, & thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!!!

[@tarik6990]

Thank you for taking the train ride, a lot of people take the bus which takes longer to get to Mostar and is not as nice in terms of scenery.

[@ericwardlaw2355]

Good video! What language do they speak there? That's like a coffee shot! Lol. that's such a beautiful country! We're going through a major heat wave in the USA. Its scorching! Its been in the upper ninetys and humid. The heat index makes it feel like the hundreds. 😩. Keep up the amazing content! Is it just me or y'all making more videos a week?!

[@ProbablyLost]

Thank you so much Eric!! The language is a Serbo-Croatian mixture. A few of the Balkan countries we've been to seem to speak mostly the same language, with some different variations based on the country. It feels like the whole world is just INSANELY hot right now! We went for a walk this morning at 9am and stopped after like 20 minutes😂 You're definitely on to us with the content!! We're currently in Tirana, Albania and we have 7 vlogs that have been filmed but not edited & posted. So we're trying to post 3 vlogs every other week in hopes that we'll be fully caught up by the end of September. That way when we get toward the end of the year & doing some things that we have planned, they'll all be within a couple of days. We've got a TON of cool stuff planned!!!!😊

[@ericwardlaw2355]

@@ProbablyLost what kind of cool stuff do you have planned?! Or is it too secret to tell? Lol I about to start a new journey soon. Me and my wife are about to have a baby soon. Her due date is August 2. We're just playing the waiting game right now. Lol

[@ProbablyLost]

@@ericwardlaw2355 That's incredible Eric!!! Congrats to you guys!!! I know that's got to be so exciting, especially with the baby being so close!! As for us, we're going back into western europe in about a month, but the exciting part is we're going to be doing a German Christmas series through the last month of the year. Still a long way off, but we're so excited!!! Sending our best to you and your wife and the new little one!!!

You can buy tickets in the train if the queue is long, same price as online or at station stand.

Je part en bosnie le 2 mai prochain et je voulais réserver le train pour passer la journée a mostar ....

[@GauravSharma-js8sx]

Great video. I am planning similar trip and wasnt sure if I should take train to Mostar. I think nowvI will. Can one just buy the ticket on counter on day of travel ?

[@ProbablyLost]

Hi Gaurav!! We cannot recommend this train ride enough and I promise you it's worth it. And you can! We highly recommend arriving at the train station a bit earlier if you're going to buy your ticket at the counter as the line to purchase at the station was much longer than the line for people who purchased theirs online. But it's still the same cheap price if you buy at the station! Enjoy the ride & let us know how you like it! Thank you so much for watching our vlog!!

[@arjumand8511]

Beautiful! Please share the website where you booked your ticket. I am struggling with finding them online and I’m wondering if it’ll be more expensive in person.

Can I buy a ticket from the train station or just online ticket ?

Hi! So we bought ours online but there was a line at the ticketing desk for people buying tickets at the time of departure. So barring any changes to procedure over the past year, you'll be able to buy them at the train station. Thanks for watching!!!

[@omeruyar510]

How much train ticket? Did u remember that?

[@ProbablyLost]

Hi Ömer! Tickets were around $7 each, so around 13 Bosnian Marks each. Hope that helps & thanks for watching!!

[@jenhill2066]

What is the name of the train company please? Thank you

[@ProbablyLost]

Hi Jen!! I'm not TOTALLY sure about the name of the company but I know the train is called a Bosnia Talgo train. You can get your tickets at this website www.zfbh.ba & show your confirmation number to the ticketing desk in the train station. Thank you so much for watching & enjoy the train!!!

[@fratyasar3315]

What time is the first train in the morning?

Hello!! It depends on the direction you're traveling. This route in the video of Sarajevo to Mostar left at 07:15 & the opposite direction of Mostar to Sarajevo leaves in the morning around 06:39 according to the internet (we've not traveled that direction yet). I hope this helps, & thank you for watching our video!!!
