Travel information
Bosnia has beautiful countryside. The best place to travel is to Osman's old house. It is wonderful.
The first place to visit is the square at the center of the old town. This is the site of the Tuzla Massacre, where 72 young people were killed in 1995. Ask a local to translate the poem carved into the monument. Then walk over to the park where the 72 young people are buried. The old town is very nice and the park is very beautiful, and you will be extremely depressed.
You should also visit the Pannonica Lake, in which water is directly supplied from the local wells of salt water. Tuzla's salt has been exploited for centuries and you should visit the Salt square dedicated to this aspect of Tuzla's history.
If you are interested in art, visit some of Tuzla's beautiful art galleries. If you are interested in history, you should see the model of ancient village set near the Pannonica.

Travelling to Tuzla is easy from the south, less so from the Republica Srbska or Serbia. Do not trust the bus timetable on the black board in the main bus station, as these times were universally inaccurate!
By Bus
Buses travel regularly, about one an hour, from Sarajevo, a journey which takes three hours. There is a regular bus from Livno, and taking about nine hours to make the journey. Buses also operate north to Osijek daily, for which there are onwards connections to Hungary and Austria. A bus also travels direct from Dubrovnik.
To travel from Banja Luka, change at Doboj. There are no direct buses from Belgrade, so change buses in Doboj.
By Train
Although Tuzla has a train station, trains run only twice daily to Doboj. Rail infrastructure was heavily damaged in the recent conflict in Bosnia and Hercegovina in the 1990s and services (whilst starting to return to pre-war levels) are slow and often infrequent.
By Air
Tuzla has an airport [[1]] which at present does not have any scheduled flights.

All the usual Bosnian dishes are available throughout the town, but international cuisine does not have a high presence. A good place for eating is Biblioteka 45, K. Krekovica 7, ☎ +387-266362. 10 euros. edit
