Getting to the city
The fastest way into Sarajevo is usually a taxi or pre-booked car from the arrivals area, especially with luggage or a late arrival. Public transport can be cheaper, but it may take longer door to door, so compare the whole journey rather than the headline ride. Avoid unofficial drivers, unmarked vehicles and anyone who approaches you inside the terminal; use the official rank or a booked service. If you have an early departure, allow extra time for check-in and security, and reconfirm your terminal and transport the day before.
