How ya gonna call?
You will need to check with your telephone provider to see if you have the ability to use your phone and if you can send text messages while abroad. Most Americans don’t sign up for this service and only find out once they are in Europe. So please check.
In any case, sending texts (SMS) can be costly. Making phone calls is insanely expensive. That’s because of roaming charges. In fact, make sure you set your smart phone so that the data roaming is turned off.
If you have a smart phone, we suggest downloading both What’s App and Viber. The former lets you send texts when there’s an internet connection. Viber allows you to call via internet when there’s a connection, and for free. Viber, however, will also use 3G networks, and that means data roaming.

Hotels on the Map in Sarajevo
Because our group will be larger than expected in Sarajevo, we've had to split up into two different hotels. But don't worry: as you can see on the map, the two hotels are literally next to each other. All sessions will be held at Hotel Europe, so for those of you staying there, it'll be just down the stairs; for those of you staying at Hotel Art: you just have to cross a courtyard, not even a street.
How to get from the Hotels in Sarajevo to Novi Hram
How to get from the Hotels in Sarajevo to the Airport
Simple: take a taxi. We won't even suggest anything else. It's cheap and definitely the easiest option. It's about 10€, and we're sure you won't be the only one wanting to get there at any given time on July 17, so you can share a ride with other CSA participants. The hotel staff at the front desk have always been very helpful, too, so if you're unsure, you can always ask them to make the call for you.
