SARAJEVO - In Your Pocket

Car travel
Sarajevo’s roads are much improved from a few years ago
but this in turn may have contributed to the ever-increasing
volume of traffic. Coming in and out of town is fairly
straightforward with good signposting to the Centar but
once in the heart of town non-local drivers need to contend
with narrow streets, lots of one-way and ‘No Entry’
roads and the local drivers, who tend to be impatient
behind the wheel and don’t mind using their horn to give a
blast to anyone too slow to respond to a changed traffic
signal. Those used to congested inner-cities won’t find it
too much of a problem but the more hesitant may be best
to leave the car parked at or near their hotel and use public
transport, taxis and foot-power for getting around, all of
which are less stressful and will give you the opportunity
to see and experience a lot more than if you are gripping
the wheel and gritting your teeth. This also gets rid of the
problem of finding somewhere to park in the car-crowded
centre. Drivers are required by law to have their headlights
on at all times. This is mainly for safety reasons and when
you enter one of Bosnia’s long tunnels you’ll be glad it is
so. Another safety factor to bear in mind is that roads can
be hazardous during the winters, with ice, fog and snow
providing a challenge to all but the most experienced of
mountainous terrain in winter drivers.
Taxis
Do not be surprised with the state of some of the cars you
get into. There is no standard for vehicles that can be used
as taxis in Sarajevo. Some of the taxi drivers can be very
nice and polite but a large number of them are not. Don’t
be surprised if your taxi driver lights up a cigarette or turns
up the volume on his stereo just because his favourite turbo
folk song is on the radio.
