Late spring and early summer are the most comfortable and beautiful times of the year to visit Tuzla and explore its surrounding countryside.

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s official languages are Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian, and you’ll encounter road signs in both Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. If you don’t read Cyrillic, it is recommended that you bring a Serbian-English dictionary along to help you navigate, particularly in the Republic of Srpska. A large number of Bosnians also speak English, German, and/or French.

Tuzla is in the Central European Time Zone, UTC+1.

The official currency is the mark, which is more or less pegged to the euro at around 1.95 marks to 1 euro. Most financial transactions in shops or markets still take place in cash, which you can withdraw from ATMs in the majority of Bosnian cities.

Car hire is available in 2 locations throughout Tuzla, Tuzla International Airport (TZL) and downtown.

Visa Regulations

Passport holders of many countries can enter Bosnia-Herzegovina visa free and stay for up to 90 days within a six-month period, though some restrictions do apply, particularly in terms of multiple entry. Double-check regulations before you book, as some nationalities will have to apply for a visa before arriving.

Driving in Tuzla

Tuzla is fairly easy to navigate by car, and as the city does not yet offer visitors a huge amount of attractions, hiring a car will keep you mobile to explore the city and its surroundings to their fullest. Just be sure to stay off the roads during the morning and evening rush hour to optimize your travel time!

Right-Hand Driving

• Traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road throughout continental Europe.

Speed Limits in Bosnia and Herzegovina

• In residential and metropolitan areas, the speed limit is 50 km/h.
• On highways, the speed limit ranges from 80 to 130 km/h, depending on the number of lanes, though multi-lane highways are still quite rare. Don’t be surprised if you spend much of your highway travel at 80 km/h or less!

Other Regulations

1. If you can’t book a hotel with complementary off-street parking in Tuzla, ask your host or hotel staff for the best tips for parking your rental car securely and efficiently in the city.
2. The only toll road in Bosnia and Herzegovina is part of the A1 motorway near Sarajevo. You can pay tolls in marks, euros, or by credit card.
3. People with driver’s licenses issued by the European Union require no further documentation to drive in Bosnia and Herzegovina, provided they are at least 18 years old. All other nationalities should carry an international driver’s permit in addition to their domestic licenses.
4. You will likely go through police checks if you drive a lot in the country, especially if you drive over the border. Make sure you have your driver’s license and insurance documentation on hand—as well as a written contract for your rental car clearly indicating the dates of your rental. If you’ve extended your rental period beyond the contract dates, you will need documentation to prove this.
