Taxi drivers only accept cash in the local currency (BAM/KM), so make sure you have enough money with you.

Trolleybus
The trolleybus is the most interesting and convenient way to get to or from the airport in Sarajevo. They are a symbol of the city and offer you the opportunity to enjoy its history and culture. To get to the trolleybus, you must first go to the settlement of Dobrinja, which is about 700 meters from the airport, an 8-10 minute walk. There you can catch trolleybus number 103, which takes you to “Trg Austrije”, or number 107, which takes you to “Jezero”.
