Bosnia has beautiful countryside. The best place to travel is to Osman's old house. It is wonderful.

Sightseeing in Tuzla means several sights: the square at the center of the old town, the park where you can spend a nice afternoon with your friends and which also includes the place where the 72 young people killed in a messacre are buried, which is even more beautiful and is extremely depressing. You should also visit the Pannonica Lake, in which water is directly supplied from the local dwells 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 interestd 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.

Locally produced vicker craft like baskets or furniture.

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

The Old Town has numerous cafes and bars.
