What to Expect from Expat Life in Sarajevo?

From the terrible events of the war-torn 1990s to the recent flooding crisis, Bosnia-Herzegovina has endured a lot. The capital, Sarajevo, is no exception, but the people of this beautiful Balkan city are resilient, enterprising and determined not to be defined by tragedy. Surrounded by the stunning natural landscapes of the Dinaric Alps and the Miljacka River, Sarajevo's city center brings together a striking blend of cultures, with deeply ingrained Islamic, Orthodox, Judaic and Catholic communities coexisting peacefully alongside an increasingly cosmopolitan generation of young Bosnians populating the city's bars, restaurants and nightclubs alongside visiting tourists and enterprising expats. Many foreigners who come to Sarajevo are either in relationships with Bosnian citizens or working for various NGOs and international organizations. Business opportunities also exist, in particular in the computing and technology industries, and the government has done much to attract foreign investment in recent years. There are still many challenges to overcome, but expats with an open mind and a thirst for adventure are likely to find life in Sarajevo inspiring and highly rewarding.

InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Prague or Bangkok, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.

Join Our Expat Network in Sarajevo

When you join the InterNations Community, you become part of the world's leading platform for expats and global minds. The safety, comfort and security of our members is paramount to us, which is why the essential principles of trust, respect and ethical behavior are considered key components of our service. Don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have about living in Sarajevo, from practical concerns such as where to find a business interpreter, the best healthcare facilities, or and the best districts to live and work, to opportunities to pursue a range of hobbies and interests, such as finding a tennis partner, organizing a walking tour of the city, or meeting fellow expats with small children for play dates. At InterNations, we also invite you to join our regular official events, for which we hire out an attractive local venue for our members to share a drink, enjoy some entertainment and get to know each other.

    Being new to Sarajevo wasn´t easy in the beginning. But when a friend invited me to InterNations I met really great international people.
