Insider Tips for Driving in and around Višegrad
- The UNESCO Bridge: The magnificent Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge is now a pedestrian-only zone, which preserves its beauty. You can park your car easily and securely in the large lot next to Andrićgrad and enjoy a short, pleasant walk to the bridge.
- Andrićgrad (Stone Town): This unique stone town, a project by filmmaker Emir Kusturica, is located right at the confluence of the Drina and Rzav rivers. It has its own dedicated parking and is the main hub for restaurants and cafes.
- Border Crossing to Serbia: The Kotroman/Vardište border crossing is just a 20-minute drive from Višegrad. This is the main route towards Užice and the popular tourist regions of Zlatibor and Mokra Gora (home of Drvengrad) in Serbia.
- Drina River Cruises: While you can't drive on the river, having a rental car gives you the flexibility to easily reach the docks for the popular Drina River canyon boat tours on your own schedule, rather than being tied to a tour group's timetable.

Rent a Car Višegrad: Your Questions Answered (FAQ)
Can I rent a car in Sarajevo and drop it off in Višegrad or Belgrade?
Yes, this is our specialty. One-way rentals are the most popular option for this route. You can pick up a car at Sarajevo Airport, explore Višegrad, and then drop the car off in either Višegrad or continue on to Belgrade.
Is all the paperwork for crossing into Serbia included?
Absolutely. When you book a cross-border rental, we provide the mandatory “Green Card” insurance, ensuring you have all the legal documentation for a smooth and worry-free border crossing.
Is the road between Sarajevo and Višegrad difficult to drive?
The main road (M-5) is a two-lane paved road that winds through beautiful mountain scenery. It is well-maintained but requires attentive driving. It is not a motorway, so allow for a journey time of around 2.5-3 hours.
Where is the best place to park in Višegrad?
The most convenient place is the large, designated parking area for Andrićgrad, which is located right next to both the stone town and the main UNESCO bridge.
What People Say About Us
No filters. No fluff. Just real feedback from real drivers across Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Michael Chen
The one-way rental from Sarajevo to Belgrade was the perfect way to do our Balkan trip. We picked up the car, drove to Višegrad, spent a wonderful afternoon at the bridge and Andrićgrad, stayed the night, and then drove to Belgrade the next day. Yes.ba made this entire process incredibly simple and seamless.
Laura Janssen
I came to Višegrad specifically to see the bridge from Ivo Andrić's novel, 'The Bridge on the Drina'. Having a rental car allowed me to not just see the bridge, but to explore the entire area and the beautiful river canyon at my own pace. The service was excellent and the car was perfect.
The Kowalski Family
We rented an SUV in Višegrad and used it to explore Tara National Park across the border in Serbia. The team had all the cross-border papers ready, and the process was so easy. The car was great on the mountain roads. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to see both sides of the Drina.
David Petrović
As a fan of Emir Kusturica's films, I had to visit Andrićgrad. Renting a car gave me the flexibility to spend as much time as I wanted there, and then explore the nearby Dobrun Monastery. A much better experience than a rushed bus tour. The car was delivered right to my hotel.
Sophie Müller
Great car, fair price, and the one-way option is fantastic. No problems at all.
