Arriving at Sarajevo airport can be stressful and confusing, especially if you don't know how to get to the city center. Do you need to take a taxi, bus, tram, or something else? How much will it cost you? How long will it take you? In this article, we will give you the best tips for transportation when you arrive at Sarajevo Airport, so you can enjoy your trip without worry.
Taxi
A taxi is one of the fastest and most comfortable ways to travel to or from Sarajevo Airport. A Sarajevo Taxi rank is located in front of the terminal. Under the tariff in force from 30 March 2026, the starting fare is 3.50 KM, the price per kilometre is 2.30 KM, and luggage is charged at 5 KM per piece. For a journey between the airport and central Sarajevo, allow roughly 20–30 KM depending on the exact destination, traffic and luggage. Since 3 July 2026, Sarajevo Airport states that card payment is available in Sarajevo Taxi vehicles operating from the airport taxi rank; for other taxi providers, check the payment method before the ride.
Bus
The Centrotrans airport bus connects Sarajevo International Airport with Baščaršija/Bentbaša. A one-way ticket costs 5 KM, the first piece of luggage up to 23 kg is included, and an additional or heavier piece costs 5 KM. Tickets can be purchased from the driver or online through the CentroCard app. Departures are not spaced at fixed 30-minute intervals and vary between weekdays and weekends, so check the current timetable on the official Sarajevo Airport website before travelling.
Trolleybus
The trolleybus is a low-cost option, but there is no trolleybus stop directly at the airport terminal. You first need to walk to the Dobrinja area, where lines 103 towards Trg Austrije and 107 towards Jezero operate. Under the current GRAS fare list, a single ticket costs 2.20 KM. Check the current timetable and ticket-purchase options before travelling, especially for early-morning or late-evening journeys.
To get to Dobrinja, you can use Google Maps (link to the location of the trolleybus station), which will guide you through the main entrance of the airport and you will walk a little longer. Below is a map of the route to the station with a shortcut that will save you a few precious minutes.
