Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car from any location in Eastern Bosnia, head towards the capital city of Sarajevo. Use the E661 highway, which is the main route connecting Eastern Bosnia to Sarajevo. As you approach the city, follow signs for 'Sarajevo' and take the exit toward the center. Once in Sarajevo, follow the road signs to Trebević. You will drive through the city center and continue until you reach the base of the Trebević mountain. Park your car at one of the designated parking areas at the base (note that parking may incur a small fee). From there, take the Trebević cable car or drive further up the mountain to reach the viewpoint. The cable car ride offers scenic views of the city.

Public Transportation
For those using public transport, take a bus from major towns in Eastern Bosnia to Sarajevo (e.g., from Tuzla or Zenica). Buses frequently run to the main bus station in Sarajevo. Once you arrive at the bus station, you can take tram line 3 towards 'Baščaršija', which is near the city center. From Baščaršija, look for the signs or ask locals for the nearest bus stop for the Trebević mountain area. Take the bus that goes to the Trebević area, or if available, the tram can take you closer to the base of the mountain. At the base, you can either walk to the cable car station or use a taxi to get there if you prefer not to walk. The cable car will take you directly to the viewpoint.
