These are the tourist scams Trzly has documented across Bosnia and Herzegovina, grouped by destination. Each one is real, with a clear way to stay safe. Read before you land.
چگونه کار میکند: Drivers approach arrivals inside or just outside the terminal offering a ride, then charge a flat fare several times the normal metered price for the short trip into town.
چگونه از آن اجتناب کنیم: Use the official taxi rank, a marked company taxi, or the cheap airport shuttle bus. Insist on the meter, or agree the fare before getting in, and ignore anyone who approaches you first.
چگونه کار میکند: Some unofficial taxis claim the meter is broken and quote an inflated price, or use a meter rigged to run fast, especially with tourists near the old town.
چگونه از آن اجتناب کنیم: Choose a clearly marked taxi from a known local company, ordered by phone or app where possible. Check the meter starts at the standard flag fare and is running, and have a rough idea of the fair price first.
چگونه کار میکند: Some exchange desks in tourist spots offer bad rates or high commission, and a few places accept euros but give change back at an unfair rate.
چگونه از آن اجتناب کنیم: The mark is fixed to the euro, so know the rough rate before changing money. Use a bank or a reputable exchange office, pay in marka where you can, and prefer card for larger purchases.
چگونه کار میکند: In a few heavily touristed spots a bill may add items you did not order or charge more than the menu, banking on visitors not checking.
چگونه از آن اجتناب کنیم: Check that prices are displayed, keep an eye on the menu, and review the bill before paying. Well-reviewed places a street back from the busiest squares are both cheaper and more honest.
