From Wikitravel

Tuzla is the third largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in one of the most important industrial Bosnian regions. The city was hardly directly targeted by the war, except for an incident near the end of the war, when 72 people were killed by a shell fired into the Old Town during the evening. Nowadays, the city’s economy is still predominantly based around industry, and virtually no Western tourists are attracted to the town.

Get in

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! (June 2006) Buses travel regularly, about one an hour, from Sarajevo, a journey which takes three hours. There is a regular bus from Split, leaving Split at 8am, travelling via Livno, and taking about nine hours to make the journey. A bus also travels direct from Dubrovnik.

To travel from Banja Luka, change at Doboj. There are no direct buses from Belgrade.

Although Tuzla has a train station, trains run only twice daily to Doboj.

Get out

Buses run very regularly to Lukavac, about 20 minutes away. From here, a ten minute taxi takes you to Lake Modrac, a large lake with a few restaurants. Due to industrial pollution, however, it is not safe to swim in the lake.

A more promising destination is Lake Bisterac. Take a local (stopping) bus towards Lukavac, and get off just before the town. Up a hill lies a clean freshwater lake. There is a minimal entry charge, with a small extra charge for use of the slide into the lake. Stalls and a restaurant serve food.

Kladanj, about 90 minutes away by bus towards Sarajevo, is a small, attractive town with many little restaurants.
