 Once Skendervakuf, today
Kneževo by croisbeauty
The name of Skendervakuf is of Turkish origin, however, held even in the times when Bosnia was a part of ex-Yugoslavia. Since the structure of the population has been changed in the last 50 years, now the majority are Serbs, the new constituted Republika Srpska have changed it in Kneževo.

 A mountain dirt road by dabuwan
Major roads have asphalt, but they are in poor conditions and heavily trafficated (especially if there is a marriage around..:)).
All other roads (the most) have no asphalt and some are just a dirt track through the steep mountains. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Trains - you can get only to the border station coming from the north, but some international trains are going to be running in near future (Ljubljana - Zagreb - Banja Luka - Tuzla - Belgrade for instance). You can get to Sarajevo, Capljina and Mostar from Ploce (port in Croatia), there is also a Yugoslavian train from Sid to Bijeljina.
By air: You can get to Sarajevo from Vienna, Zurich, Munich, Copenhagen, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Budapest and Istanbul. Banja Luka has connections with Vienna and Zurich, Mostar - with Vienna. There are many flights to Germany - some of them are pretty cheap (by Condor).
The best way of getting around is a car. However, the quality of roads and driving style may not be what you are used to. If you do not have a car - buses go everywhere. Just check the schedule back and make sure it is valid. Prices on the same route may vary - depends on operator and direction. Prices in Srpska are generally lower.
Sarajevo is served by two bus stations: Main (close to Railway Station and Holiday Inn) - serves locations in the Federation and international, as well as Banja Luka. Srpsko Sarajevo Bus Station serves locations in Republika Srpska and Yugoslavia. You can get there easily by trolleybuses from the centre of Sarajevo - go to the final stop Dobrinje and walk about 200 meters straight.
There are several train lines in operation - one of them is a must for those who love great views (Sarajevo - Konjic). Trains are generally cheaper then buses, but their schedules are not very reasonable. Advantage of taking train is that you know when it is going to be coming back - the thing you can never be sure about buses. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Inside the cities I normally walked or used taxis. The cities in Bosnia have a good tram and/or bus public transportation system so that is a good option for anyone who wishes to travel that way. We chose to take taxi's in Sarajevo since they were inexpensive. The taxi drivers in Sarajevo are famous for being honest and going out of their way to help. I definitely found that to be true myself.
The sidewalks in Sarajevo are wide and plentiful so walking is a wonderful way to get to know the community. I walked in Sarajevo and the other towns I visited whenever possible. Many of my favorite memories of Bosnia were of the sights I saw during my walks.
See the ravelogues on my Bosnia page for an assortment of pictures and stories of the communities I visited.
Pictured here. A common view I saw in my walks around Sarajevo. Note the graves intermingled with the homes. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Slapovi Pive u Jajcu by croisbeauty
The best way to explore the country is definetely by the car. Although there are no highways in B&H at all, the narrow and very curved roads are very attractive. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

The already mentioned car and bus. The rail network is not operating all over the country yet. Or you may try more primeval and culture-specific ways of transport like the man in Herzegovina did (photo). When my boyfriend asked him if his means of transport obeyed him, the man replied: 'Like your woman obeys you, son!'
