Helpful Tips
Sarajevo's tram network is the most economical way to travel the city's main east, west corridor, running from the old bazaar district of Baščaršija toward Ilidža.
Use the Bolt app in Sarajevo for ride-hailing with upfront pricing, which is more predictable than flagging down street taxis.
Intercity buses are the primary long-distance option between Sarajevo, Mostar, and Banja Luka, buy tickets at the Autobuska Stanica (main bus station) near Sarajevo's central train station.
The Sarajevo-to-Mostar train cuts through the Neretva River canyon with dramatic scenery, though buses run more frequently if timing matters.
Common Scams to Avoid
Unlicensed taxi touts at Sarajevo International Airport approach arriving passengers inside the terminal or immediately outside arrivals, offering flat-rate fares that appear reasonable but are typically several times the legitimate metered price. Avoid any driver who approaches you, use only clearly marked licensed taxis from the official rank outside arrivals, or pre-arrange a transfer through your accommodation.
Some taxi drivers at Sarajevo Airport claim their meter is broken or 'not working for airport runs' and quote a fixed price instead, which is almost always inflated. Insist on a working meter before entering any cab. If the driver refuses, choose another vehicle, this is a general Eastern European airport tactic but is specifically reported at Sarajevo.
Airport currency exchange counters in Bosnia and Herzegovina typically offer significantly worse rates than banks or ATMs in Sarajevo city center, and the Bosnian Convertible Mark (BAM) is unfamiliar enough to many visitors that poor rates go unnoticed. This is a widespread airport phenomenon rather than unique to Bosnia. But given the BAM's fixed Euro peg, checking the official rate beforehand makes inflated exchange margins easy to spot.
