Tuzla is the third largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is located in the northeast of the country.
background
The capital of the canton of the same name is known as a major industrial location, and the coal-fired power plants at the gates are said to be distinctive. The Jala flows through the city.
During the war in the 1990s there was a massacre that left deep wounds. Nevertheless, the city is considered very open.
getting there
By plane
The city has its own Tuzla airport
(IATA: TZL), which is about 15 km south of the city center. There are flights to and from, among other things Dortmund
(IATA: DTM) .

health
Tuzla is at the forefront of the cities in Europe most heavily polluted by particulate matter. The EU limit values are exceeded here many times over. Emergency clinics for smog patients are set up in winter, and the lung cancer rate is well above the European average. A pungent smell of burnt coal is omnipresent, especially when it gets cooler and is heated. Tragically, the problem that gets worse year after year is hushed up or marginalized by politics. The months of June and July are the least burdened on an annual average compared to the rest of the year. Here, the current health risk from fine dust can be checked or compared with measured values from other cities:

Practical advice
The taxi prices here are considered cheap, but only if the taxi driver has a taximeter and turns it on. So the amounts can be quite different.
The official price list of tuzlataxi.com proclaimed:
- 6:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m. from 3.00 KM, the equivalent of 1.50 euros (up to 4 km)
