From London to Bosnia & Herzegovina by coach

There are two direct coach services per week operated by the biggest European coach network - Eurolines, which connect London with Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia. In Bosnia, the coach stops in Bosandska Gradiska, Banja Luka, Prnjavor, Dervanta, Doboj, Maglaj, Zepce, Zenica, Kakanj, Visoko and Sarajevo. However, the current Eurolines services necessitate transferring from one coach to another in Paris as well as buying two separate tickets for each leg of the journey. The departure is from London. The journey to Bosnia can be conventionally divided into two stages. The first stage is the journey from London to Paris or Amsterdam (depending on which service you choose) and the second stage is the journey from Paris or Amsterdam to the Bosnian cities. Along the way, you'll see amazing landscapes of France, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia. When arriving in Paris and Amsterdam, passengers must check-in again and use separate Eurolines service. A detailed timetable is located below.
 The coach ride between London and Bosnia takes approximately 40-48 hours. See Eurolines EU website for more details. The cheapest way to travel to Bosnia is definitely the coach. If you are on a tight budget, then taking the coach can offer some amazing cost savings.

The journey from London to Bosnia by Eurolines

The connection to Bosnia is a direct route and requires change in Paris.
Transport from London to Sarajevo and other Bulgarian cities is carried out with traditional Eurolines’ vehicles. All Eurolines’ coaches have on-board toilet and washroom facilities, reclining seats and air-conditioning as standard.
Sometimes the coach that picks you up from your departure point has only the final destination displayed on the front windscreen. This is because the majority of Eurolines routes include multiple stops and it would be impractical to display every stop on the front windscreen. Also, you may have booked a journey which requires a change of coach. In both examples, please ask the driver to confirm that his/her coach is going to the destination stated on your ticket.
Eurolines put the safety and comfort of passengers first, so the vehicles are equipped with a large number of safeguards. The operators are using modern vehicles with large panoramic windows and increased legroom.
Eurolines coach services to Bosnia and Herzegovina depart from Victoria Coach Station in London which is located close to Victoria Underground and bus stations. Eurolines coaches in Bosnia and Herzegovina arrive and depart from the main bus stations. Buy a ticket online now.

The carrier provides service to any person who has purchased a ticket. The number of tickets for the designated route is limited to the number of seats. Having valid ticket guarantees you use of the service (seat on the coach), however, it does not reserve any particular place.
Single and return tickets (with the indicated date and time) are for a specific journey, you cannot miss the departure because you will lose the ticket.
Best to buy tickets well in advance. Eurolines has many discounts for those who decide to purchase tickets in advance. Constant, although a slight discount is provided for youth, elderly and disabled people. Up to 50% discount is provided for children. Unless you get a good promotional fare, return fares are much cheaper than two single fares each way.


  • Before leaving home for your Eurolines service, check you have packed all documents and items needed for your journey, especially your ticket, passport (sometimes it is enough to travel with ID card) and if your journey requires a special visa to enter or transit.
  • Arrive at the Victoria Coach Station in London at least one hour before the departure time, as check-in proceedings are quite lengthy. Customers need to check-in at the Eurolines check-in office located adjacent to Gate 19. Check-in commences one hour before departure and closes 15 minutes before to enable all customers to board and to ensure a prompt departure.
  • Your luggage should be marked tags bearing a name, address and telephone. Please weigh your luggage at home.
  • Never accept other person luggage for transport! Should you notice any luggage left unattended, never touch it! Report the fact to the station’s service staff immediately. Never leave your luggage unattended!
  • When approaching the check-in desk, have your passport and ticket ready. This will streamline the procedure.
  • Border control & customs: When going through security check, place all metal items such as keys, watches, belts with large buckles, mobile phones, walkmans, small change etc in the boxes, and place them on the conveyor belt of the X-ray machine together with your hand luggage & suitcases. It is advisable to place your overcoats in the boxes. This will streamline and facilitate security control.
  • If needed, remember to take your doctor’s certificates.

A boarding card for each customer and luggage labels will be issued and customers will be advised from which gate their coach will leave.

If there’s no office for check-in, then check-in takes place directly on the coach. Services returning to London arrive in Victoria Coach Station’s Arrivals terminal, customers making onward coach connections will need to cross the street to the Departures terminal

Sea crossings

This route involves a sea crossing which, depending on which service you are on, will either by Eurotunnel or by ferry (check timetables for specific information). On arrival at the ferry port or Eurotunnel, terminal customers will be required to disembark from the coach and pass through both UK and destination country Border Control offices and show their Passports. Normally customers are not required to be accompanied by their luggage, however, occasionally Border Control officials do require customers to take their own luggage with them.

Refreshment stops

Refreshment stops are taken periodically throughout the journey providing the opportunity for refreshment and shipping services used by Eurolines provide a range of shops, restaurants and other facilities.

Carriage of luggage

All Eurolines customers must label their luggage which will be loaded into the hold of the coach and will normally remain there until arrival at the destination or interchange point. The coach driver will load and unload customers’ luggage but customers are responsible for seeing their own luggage onto and off the coach on which they are travelling.

Travel insurance

The best way to protect against unexpected accidents is to buy travel insurance. In my opinion, so that the journey is stress-free, you should never travel without travel insurance. You can insure only for travel, it’s possible directly on the Eurolines website, during ticket purchase. You can also insure individually with another insurer. This will be the insurance that will apply during the journey and while in a foreign country. The insurance should cover a loss of cash and goods, cancellation of travel and the main treatment abroad. If you travel several times a year and want to save money, you may want to buy an annual insurance policy. Click here to buy insurance.
