Sarajevo Getting there & around

Getting around

Public transport

A rattly but efficient tram network runs east–west between Baščaršija and Ilidža. Tram 4 from Baščaršija goes to the bus and train stations; tram 1 goes between the bus and train stations and Ilidža; and tram 3 runs between Ilidža and Baščaršija. Buy tickets (1.60KM) from kiosks near tram stations or from the driver (1.80KM); a daily ticket (5.30KM) can be bought from a kiosk. Validate your ticket in the machine once on board as inspectors can fine you for not doing so. Bus and trolleybus tickets work the same way.

Car & motorcycle

Much of Baščaršija is pedestrianised and the rest is narrow, making parking either illegal or impossible. The best option is to park to the west and use the tram.

Rental agencies include Budget (766 670), Dollar & Thrifty (289 272), Europcar (289 273) and National (267 591). Lami Rent a Car (061 260 609) charges from €33 a day.
