Tuzla is the third largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in one of the most important industrial Bosnian regions. Nowadays, the city’s economy is still predominantly based around industry, although there has been significant development in tourism in the 21st century.

Practical guide

See

Bosnia has beautiful countryside. The best place to travel is to Osman's old house. It is wonderful. The first place to visit is the square at the center of the old town. This is the site of the Tuzla Massacre, where 72 young people were killed in 1995. Ask a local to translate the poem carved into the monument. Then walk over to the park where the 72 young people are buried. The old town is very nice and the park is very beautiful. You should also visit the Pannonica Lakes, whose water is directly supplied from the local wells of salt water.

Do

1 Pannonica Lakes, Kulina bana. Good place for swimming and relaxing. Complex of three lakes, beaches, bars and areas for kids. 3.5 BAM (workdays), 4 BAM (weekend). (updated Oct 2015)

Eat

All the usual Bosnian dishes are available throughout the town, but international cuisine does not have a high presence. There are also many traditional Bosnian fast food restaurants where you can eat cevapi prepared differently than in Sarajevo. All these are in the city centre: 1 Zmaj od Bosne, Klosterska 11. (updated Aug 2022) 2 Restaurant Limenka, Patriotske lige 24. (updated Aug 2022) 3 Mozaik, Turalibegova 2. (updated Aug 2022) 4 Sarajka, Jevrejska 6. (updated Aug 2022) 5 Ćevabdžinica Feri, Franjevačka 18. (updated Aug 2022) 6 Caffe Gajba, Turalibegova 50. (updated Aug 2022) 7 Picerija Nota Bene, I inžinjerske brigade.
