Sarajevo: what to know before you go
- Arriving
- Sarajevo Airport (SJJ) is close to the city. Many visitors also arrive by bus from Croatia or Montenegro.
- Outside EU roaming
- Bosnia and Herzegovina is not in the EU, so roaming is priced by your operator. A prepaid eSIM avoids a surprise.
- The old town
- Baščaršija is compact and walkable. Cafés often have wifi, but it can be slow.
- Hiking safety
- Landmines from the 1990s war remain in some areas. Stay on marked paths and follow local advice, and do not rely on a map app alone in the hills.

Questions about Sarajevo
- Is the signal good in the hills around Sarajevo?
- In the city and on the main roads, yes. In the hills and on trails it drops. Download maps and stay on marked paths.
- How much does an eSIM for Sarajevo cost?
- Sarajevo uses the Bosnia and Herzegovina plans, because an eSIM belongs to a country and not to a city. Plans start at $3.49 for 1 GB, valid for 7 days. There are 9 plans, from 1 GB to 20 GB, plus unlimited day passes.
- Do I need a local SIM card in Sarajevo?
- No. The eSIM is a SIM card in digital form: you install it from a QR code before you leave, and there is nothing to buy at the airport or swap in your phone.
- How is it different from roaming in Sarajevo?
- With roaming, your own carrier bills the data you use abroad, usually by the day or by the megabyte, at the prices of your plan. The eSIM is prepaid: you know the cost before you leave and nothing is added later. Keep data roaming off on your usual line, so it cannot charge you.
- Which networks does the Sarajevo eSIM use?
- Yapsim connects to HT-ERONET. Each plan lists the operators it uses.
- Can I add more data?
- Yes. You top up the same eSIM from its page, without installing a new one.
- Do I keep my phone number?
- Yes. Plans are data only, so your usual line stays active for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working as always.
- When do the validity days start?
- Not when you buy and not when you install: the days start counting when the eSIM connects to a network at your destination for the first time. A 30 day plan gives you 30 days from that first connection.
- How long do I have to install the eSIM?
- An eSIM that is never installed expires. The "Install by" date is shown on your order and on the site, so you can buy ahead of your trip. Install it before that date, on Wi-Fi.
- Can I use the eSIM as a hotspot?
- Data used through a personal hotspot comes out of the same plan, and Yapsim does not charge it separately. A laptop uses far more data than a phone, so for work a day pass or a bigger plan is safer.
- What happens when the data runs out?
- Plans are prepaid, so there are no extra charges: when the data is used up, the connection stops until you add more from the eSIM page. Day passes give a daily allowance at full speed, then continue at reduced speed (512 Kbps) until the next day.
- When should I install the eSIM?
- Before you leave, on Wi-Fi. When you land, set the Yapsim line for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it.
