Got dropped here by my ride and took a bus to sarajevo centre. This is a good spot to go towards belgrade, cars coming from the coast pass and the A1 pass by here

This is a great spot to hitchhike to Zenica! The funniest thing happened here, last year my friends and I also hitchhiked in Bosnia on this route. After visiting Sarajevo we wanted to visit this sweet Bosnian lady we met last year in Vites. At the petrol station we got picked up by this Bosnian guy. After two minutes in the car we both realised that we met eachother last year on the same route. He was so happy to see us again that he bought us a beer :D. Shoutout to the best steel factory worker in Bosnia. We will love you forever.

We didn't even have time to finish writing our sign when the guy at the table next to us at the restaurant offered us a ride.
End goal was Sarajevo which was easy from where he dropped us off.

This was where we got dropped off on the way from Sarajevo to Lukomir. Not many cars in total (but maybe because of national holiday). Ski resorts in summer are weird

Actually quite chill spot.

Plenty of space for cars to stop, traffic is not fast. Got a lift directly to Sarajevo pretty fast with a sign.

I stood right behind the Croatian border and got a few people stopping. I walked there from Metković and got told by a border guard to go a bit behind the border station out of its sight. Rides to at least Mostar should be easy to get, I even got one all the way to Sarajevo.

Similar experience as a few before. Good spot but took some time, after 2h and many cars that passed I found a truck directly to Sarajevo. For trucks to stop I recommend standing on the little island before the gas station (and not the parking lot). Friday 8am

The spot is five star. Plenty of space to pull over, good visibility. Tons of slow traffic. The people? Hmmmmm...

With such a good spot and tons of traffic, all of which was going towards sarajevo, I may have had high expectations, but it turned into a 2.5 hour wait, which considering just how many cars where passing and how good the spot was, felt a little excessive.

The thing which was properly demoralising though, was the fact that almost nobody smiled or waved or acknowledged me like in normal countries. Everyone seemed to hate their lives and treated the lone hitchiker shivering in the snow with total apathy. I got lots of frowns and cold hard stares. I agree with the other comment at the gazprom spot (free wifi btw) Nobody here seems to give a damn about hitchikers.

All was well as eventually I did get picked up by the biggest gigachad on the planet (they spoke perfect english too) and had an awsome ride straight to sarajevo, but still I found the way people looked at me here unlike anywhere else in the world, and pretty unexpected. If you want to hitchike to sarajevo, make sure you be ok with waiting, and getting ignored/frowned at a lot. Hopefully it'll be better for you though :)

I think I was lucky to get a ride, because the spot wasn’t really good and I checked on the map, there is better spots in Mostar. But, for sure, this is the main road to go to the south (Croatia) or to the north (Sarajevo).

The first toll booth leaving Zagreb. Great spot for Serbia or Bosnia & Herzegovina. We got a ride straight to Sarajevo from here. Sign recommended. Took a Bolt to here so not the easiest or cheapest spot to get to.
