Gettin there

Gettin there by bus

The bus system of Bosnia and Herzegovina functions well. Centrotrans/Eurolines and a range of smaller bus companies have reliable bus routes to many locations throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.


There are daily bus routes from neighbouring Croatia and Serbia. Bus travel is reasonably priced and a one-way ticket to the furthest in-country destination from Sarajevo will not cost more than 15 euro. At the smaller stations, you pay when you get on the bus. At the main bus stations, you are meant to buy your ticket at the ticket booth, but even there you can normally get it on the bus as well. Usually there is an extra charge of 1 or 2 KM for each sizeable bag you carry with you. Bus stations do not have lockers or temporary luggage storage places.
