Remote work in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Including Centar & Marijin Dvor, City Center, and Old Town & West Mostar. On the map.
The vibe
Setting up a laptop here means plugging into a rapidly growing cafe culture where strong wifi and cheap espresso are never far away. While digital nomad infrastructure is still catching up compared to Western Europe, the low cost of living makes it an appealing base for self-directed workers. You will mostly work out of independent coffee shops surrounded by locals rather than dedicated, high-tech coworking hubs.

Sarajevo's urban core offers a growing remote-work ecosystem with high-speed fiber internet, modern coworking spaces, and a lively cafe-work culture. Marijin Dvor and the historic Centar district provide reliable infrastructure, frequent English-speaking meetups, and an affordable cost of living for digital nomads.
Access. Easily accessible via Sarajevo International Airport and connected to the city center by tram and walking paths. Most remote workers base themselves in apartments around Marijin Dvor or near the Miljacka river for stays of a few weeks to several months.
Notes. Winter heating can sometimes cause heavy smog in the valley; spring and autumn are ideal for longer remote stays.

While famous for its historic bridge, Mostar has quietly developed a remote-work community drawn to its sunny climate and scenic surroundings. West Mostar offers modern residential apartments with strong fiber connectivity alongside downtown cafes suited for laptop sessions.
Access. Accessible by train from Sarajevo and Ploče (Croatia), or via Mostar International Airport. Visitors typically rent apartments in the modern western quarters for extended stays.
Notes. Summer temperatures can be extremely high, making air-conditioned workspaces essential.
