What travel documents do I need to fly to Bosnia and Herzegovina?
You need a valid travel document accepted for entry to Bosnia & Herzegovina. Exact passport, identity-document, visa and residence-permit requirements depend on your nationality, residency, document type and travel purpose, and they can change. Check the latest requirements with the relevant Bosnian authorities, your airline and your government's travel advice. Check the latest official guidance before you travel.
Do I need a car when visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina?
You do not necessarily need a car for a city break based in Sarajevo, Mostar or Banja Luka, where walking, local transport and taxis can cover many journeys. A car is more useful for combining several regions or visiting rural areas, mountain destinations, national parks and attractions with limited public-transport connections.
How long does it take to get from the airport to the main tourist areas of Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Transfer times vary depending on the destination, traffic and transport option. Sarajevo International Airport is the relevant airport for Sarajevo and nearby attractions; Banja Luka International Airport serves access to Banja Luka and north-western destinations. Sarajevo (SJJ) and Banja Luka (BNX) are separate airports, so the journey time to Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka, Jajce or other main tourist areas depends on which airport you use and your exact destination. Check the official airport and local transport information for current routes and journey times.
