Workshops & Classes in Bosnia: All 4 Compared

1.Bosnian Cooking Lessons

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 269 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96Our pick

Cook Sarajevo classics with Mersiha and Mustafa, from stuffed vegetables to handmade burek, with wine, city views, and recipes to take home.

“I would highly recommend this activity. It was wonderful to meet Mersiha and her mother, and it was so lovely for them to allow us into their beautiful home. This was the first time that we did a cooking class whilst travelling, but it has opened up a new interest for us as the experience was so positive. It was very obvious that Mersiha loves the work she does. She was very professional, chatty and kind. We also had the recipes and step-by-step videos sent to us after, so we can recreate at home! We also loved hearing from Mersiha about her experience growing up in Bosnia and lots of…”

2.Traditional Bosnian Cooking Class in Mostar with Lunch and Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $90

Cook dolma, burek, japrak, and hurmasice in Mostar with Amina, then enjoy a three-course meal, rakija, and local drinks.

“We had such a wonderful time learning with Amina! We did the morning session, arriving a bit early we were given coffee and a board of yummy nibbles that we enjoyed out the front (please see photo with cute cat who joined us!). The class was such a great experience, our host Amina was super lovely and did a great job taking us through each step of the recipes. The pace was great, very relaxed, and we were able to try some beautiful drinks throughout - the elderberry was my fave! Oh, and the food prepared was deee-lish!! I would very much recommend this experience to anyone visiting Mostar, and…”

3.Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day – do it yourself – Coppersmith Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 13 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

Shape your own Sarajevo copper coffee pot in a small Kovači Street workshop, with expert English instruction and coffee or tea included.

“The coppersmith workshop was absolutely fantastic, we have just finished it this afternoon. Unfortunately Funky tours is a third party involved in the booking and they are completely incompetent, but the coppersmith host is amazing and we had such a great time with her. If you book with funky tours, double check your booking confirmation with them as they have no idea what's going on. If you can choose this tour elsewhere with another company that also uses this same female coppersmith (she is the only female in her profession), then I'd recommend booking it with the other company.”

4.COPPER HANDICRAFT WORKSHOP (Make your own souvenir from Sarajevo)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 10 reviews · 1 to 2 hours (approx.) · from $66Best value

Make a copper souvenir in Sarajevo’s old bazaar, learn Ottoman-era metalwork, visit key sights, and enjoy coffee in a small group.

“This was such a quirky and fun experience for us and the guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide, Mak, was really personable and great to talk to. He had a great knowledge of the city, country, and of the artwork therein and we got a lot out of our time on this tour, and of the full day to Mostar tour the following day. What stands these tours apart from others, we thought, is that the guides speak to you as friends and are very open and generous with their time. I really think that says a lot about how the company is run and the type of…”
