Bus

Buses in Bosnia and Herzegovina are quite reliable, frequent and cover most of the country. For more information concerning Bus Routes and the availability of seats, contact the Sarajevo International Bus Station:  +387 33 213 100.

Taxi

Main cities have metered taxis. It is possible to negotiate a fare when the meters are not in use. However, we suggest you to take a metered taxi as you will pay only the regular rate per km. In both cases ask if the car has a meter or agree a fare before setting off.
