Getting around by train is a
little slower than other modes of transport, but much more comfortable. In
Bosnia and Herzegovina, trains are punctual and low-cost.
Before the war
the rail network connected most Bosnian cities. This has changed
dramatically. There are now only three routes that originate in Sarajevo:
the Sarajevo-Zenica-Banja Luka-Zagreb route takes about ten hours from
start to finish; the northern route to Budapest goes via Tuzla; and the
southern route towards the Adriatic coast is Konjic-Jablanica-
Mostar-Capljina-Ploce (Ploce is in Croatia). This last route goes through
the Neretva Canyon and is particularly scenic. Even on these three routes,
trains do not go quite as frequently as the buses do. The rail system is
now connected to Eurrail and will soon be offering faster trains to the
Croatian coast.
