Sarajevo to Konjic by Train: Schedule, Fare & Why It's Worth It
The bus gets you there. The train shows you why you came.
Take the morning train from Sarajevo to Konjic and you’ll follow the emerald Neretva River most of the way — a stretch widely cited as one of the most scenic rail routes in the Balkans, and often mentioned among Europe’s most beautiful short train journeys.
Below is the current schedule, what it costs, how to buy tickets, and why this is the best way to start a day of rafting, hiking, or exploring Konjic.
Schedule (Sarajevo → Konjic)
- Departs Sarajevo: 07:15
- Arrives Konjic: 08:24
This morning departure gives you a relaxed start and still gets you into Konjic early enough for full-day activities.
Return (Konjic → Sarajevo)
- Departs Konjic: 16:46
This return timing usually works well after rafting, hiking, or a slow lunch in town. Always check current timetables before travelling, as times can change seasonally or with timetable updates.
