Transportation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

# Transportation in Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina's transportation network centers on **buses and trains** for intercity travel, with buses being the more extensive and reliable option. The country has well-established bus connections between major cities like Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka, and Tuzla, as well as international routes to neighboring countries. Train service exists but is more limited, primarily serving specific corridors. Within cities, you'll find local buses and taxis, while ride-hailing apps have growing availability in larger urban centers. **First-time visitors should know** that advance booking is recommended for popular bus routes, especially during summer months and holidays. English may be limited outside major tourist areas, so having your destination written down helps. Cash (convertible marks - BAM) is widely preferred for local transport, though some intercity buses accept cards. The transportation infrastructure varies significantly between regions, with better services in major cities. **From Sarajevo International Airport**, the most straightforward option is a taxi or pre-arranged transfer to the city center (approximately 12km away). Public bus service to the airport is limited compared to other European capitals. For current schedules and booking options for intercity travel, check the booking widgets on route-specific pages, as frequencies and operators can vary seasonally.
