Tuzla’s low-cost hub sits 15 km south-east of the city. Buses run to town only when flights land, and taxis cost more than a day’s rental. With car hire Tuzla Airport you load suitcases straight into the boot and reach the Pannonian Salt Lakes, Srebrenik Fortress or Modrac Lake on your own schedule – no queues, no surge pricing, no hauling luggage.

Tuzla is the perfect stepping-stone to northern Bosnia’s castles and Serbia’s spa towns. Diesel averages 20 % below EU prices, so a hire car quickly pays for itself once you venture beyond the city ring road.

      • Srebrenik Fortress (45 min, 40 km) – Bosnia’s best-preserved medieval stronghold perched on a 396 m rock spire.
      • Modrac Lake (20 min, 15 km) – Watersports, lakeside grills and sunset paddleboard hire.
      • Krivaja Canyon & Vlasenica (1 h 30 min, 90 km) – Hairpin turns through limestone walls, perfect in autumn foliage.
      Drina River & Banja Koviljača spa (1 h 40 min incl. Serbia border) – Cross at Rača and soak in 19 th-century thermal baths.
  • Street zones marked blue (paid) or white (free after 17:00).
  • Main multistorey garage behind Tuzla City Hotel – guarded 24/7.
  • Pay meters accept coins/BAM notes; card only inside garages.
  • “Mojazona” iOS/Android app lets you extend parking remotely.
  • Out-of-town petrol cheaper – fill up at INA on route M18 before returning the car.
  • Spring (Apr–May) – Pannonian Lakes reopen; wildflowers on Majevica mountain, highs 18–22 °C.
  • Summer (Jun–Aug) – Kaleidoskop Festival and endless lake days – book A/C cars early.
  • Autumn (Sep–Oct) – Vineyards in nearby Orahovica ripen; forest drives bask in orange hues.
  • Winter (Nov–Mar) – Salt-steam wellness at Solana spa; free winter tyres and chains included.

TZL lies 70 km from the Rača crossing. Choose the Cross-Border Permit add-on and we’ll leave a green insurance card in the glovebox. Keep passports handy; Bosnia charges no exit fee. Serbia’s E-toll starts 20 km past the border – pick up a ticket on entry and pay by card in dinars or euros at the exit booth.

Headlights stay on 24 h in both countries. If you’re looping back via Croatia, carry the same green card. With car hire Tuzla Airport arranged in advance, borders are a formality – leaving you free to chase spa breaks in Banja Koviljača or kayak the Drina canyon without paperwork headaches.
