Discover Sarajevo
Sarajevo isn't just a city; it's a living timeline where you can walk from the Ottoman-era Baščaršija bazaar, with its coppersmiths and scent of ćevapi, to the Austro-Hungarian 'Sarajevo's Vienna' along Ferhadija street in under five minutes. This is where the 1914 assassination that sparked World War I occurred at Latin Bridge, and where the scars and resilience of the 1990s siege are etched into buildings and remembered at the Tunnel of Hope.
Today, that complex history fuels a vibrant, welcoming culture. You'll hear the call to prayer echo between church bells, sip thick Bosnian coffee in a centuries-old kafana, and take a cable car up Trebević Mountain for breathtaking views over a city that has fiercely reclaimed its joy. Sarajevo's soul lies in its contrasts—between sorrow and celebration, East and West—and its incredible stories of survival.
Why Visit Sarajevo?
1
A Unique Cultural Crossroads: Experience where empires literally meet; stand where Ottoman minarets, Catholic and Orthodox steeples, and a grand Ashkenazi synagogue share the same skyline. This tangible multiculturalism is best felt in Baščaršija and along the 'Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures' line on Ferhadija street.
2
Profound Modern History: Engage with 20th-century history where it happened. Visit the poignant Sarajevo Roses (concrete scars from mortar shells filled with red resin), walk through the life-saving Tunnel of Hope, and see the exhibits at the War Childhood Museum for a deeply moving perspective on resilience.
3
Incredible Food at Unbeatable Prices: Feast on some of Europe's most flavorful and affordable cuisine. From legendary ćevapi at Željo or Ćevabdžinica Petica to stuffed burek from Buregdžinica Sač, and decadent desserts like tufahija (stewed apple with walnut cream), your taste buds and wallet will thank you.
4
Stunning Natural Surroundings: The city is cradled by the Dinaric Alps. Ride the cable car to Trebević for hiking and epic city views, visit the source of the Bosna River at Vrelo Bosne park, or take a short trip to the waterfalls at Skakavac for a quick nature escape.
5
A Hub for Affordable Adventure: Sarajevo offers exceptional value. You can stay in charming guesthouses, enjoy multi-course meals, and take guided tours for a fraction of Western European prices, making it perfect for budget travelers seeking rich experiences.
6
Warm, Resilient Hospitality: Sarajevans are famously welcoming and proud to share their city's story. Conversations in cafes, recommendations from shopkeepers, and the overall atmosphere are defined by a hard-earned optimism and genuine warmth towards visitors.

Local Tips & Insider Knowledge
- •For the best ćevapi, avoid the most touristy spots right on the main square in Baščaršija. Walk a block or two away to places like Ćevabdžinica Petica or Željo 3 for a more local experience.
- •When drinking Bosnian coffee, let the grounds settle and don't drink the sludge at the bottom. It's meant to be sipped slowly, often with a cube of rahat lokum (Turkish delight).
- •Always carry some cash (Convertible Marks - KM). While cards are accepted in larger establishments, many smaller shops, cafes, and taxis are cash-only.
- •Take tram line 3 for a scenic and cheap city tour. It runs from Ilidža (near Vrelo Bosne park) through the city center to Baščaršija, passing key landmarks.
- •Visit the Yellow Fortress (Žuta Tabija) for sunset. It's less crowded than the White Fortress and offers an equally stunning, free panoramic view over the city with minarets in the foreground.
- •Look down as you walk. The 'Sarajevo Roses'—red resin-filled mortar scars in the pavement—are powerful, unmarked memorials. Pause and reflect.
- •On Fridays, many businesses may close for midday prayers (usually between 12-2 pm), especially in the Baščaršija area. Plan museum visits or shopping accordingly.
- •Buy bottled water from kiosks or grocery stores, not hotels or tourist restaurants, to save money. A 1.5L bottle should cost around 1-2 KM.
- •If a taxi doesn't have a meter running, agree on a price before getting in. Better yet, use registered taxi companies like Crveni Taxi or Sarajevo Taxi.
- •For a unique souvenir, skip the mass-produced items and look for handmade copperware from the craftsmen in Kazandžiluk alley or a traditional 'džezva' (coffee pot).
Sarajevo Food Scene
Sarajevo's cuisine is a delicious testament to its history, blending Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Balkan influences. Meals are hearty, meat-centric, and often shared, with a strong culture of coffee and pastry. Dining is a social, leisurely affair.
Must-Try Dishes
Ćevapi (grilled minced meat sausages)
Burek (meat-filled phyllo pastry)
Bosanski Lonac (Bosnian pot stew)
Begova Čorba (chicken and vegetable soup)
Sogan-dolma (stuffed onions)
Tufahija (stewed apple with walnut filling)
Traditional & Ćevapi
- • Ćevabdžinica Željo (multiple locations)
- • Ćevabdžinica Petica (Titova street)
- • Aščinica Stari Grad (for home-style stews)
Order ćevapi with somun (flatbread), chopped onions, and kajmak (clotted cream). A standard portion is 5-10 pieces.
Burek & Pita
- • Buregdžinica Sač (Bravadžiluk street)
- • Buregdžinica ASDŽ (Ferhadija area)
- • Tržnica Markale (market bakery stalls)
Burek is specifically meat-filled. Try other 'pita' like sirnica (cheese), zeljanica (spinach), or krompiruša (potato). Eat with yogurt.
Coffee & Sweets
- • Kava u džezvu at Čajdžinica Džirlo
- • Baklava at Mirnes (Titova street)
- • Ice cream at Egipat (near Sebilj)
In a traditional čajdžinica (tea/coffee house), you'll pay more to sit inside than at a standing table outside.
Modern Bosnian
- • 4 Sobe Gospođe Safije (fine dining)
- • Klempa (creative local cuisine)
- • Barhana (trendy bistro with local twists)
These restaurants often require reservations, especially on weekends. They're great for experiencing traditional flavors in a contemporary setting.

Sarajevo Hidden Gems
Vijećnica (City Hall) Interior
The stunning pseudo-Moorish interior of the rebuilt National Library, a symbol of the city's destruction and rebirth.
While the exterior is famous, many don't go inside to see the breathtaking stained glass, ornate arches, and poignant exhibition on the building's history, including its burning in 1992.
Svrzo's House
A perfectly preserved 18th-century Ottoman house museum offering a glimpse into the domestic life of a wealthy Muslim family.
Tucked away in a residential area, it's quieter than other museums. You can explore the separate male (selamluk) and female (haremluk) quarters with original furnishings.
Avaz Twist Tower Observation Deck
The viewing platform on the 36th floor of Bosnia's tallest skyscraper, offering a 360-degree modern perspective of the city and valley.
It provides a completely different, panoramic view compared to the historic fortress viewpoints. Great for understanding the city's geography, especially at sunset.
Dariva Walkway
A peaceful, shaded walking path along the Miljacka River, starting near the Latin Bridge and leading east out of the city center.
A favorite local spot for a stroll or jog, it offers a tranquil escape from the bustle of Baščaršija with lovely views of the river and cliffs.
Museum of Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide
A sobering but important private museum documenting the atrocities of the 1990s war through personal stories, artifacts, and photographs.
While difficult, it provides a more detailed and personal narrative than some larger institutions. It's a powerful, under-visited complement to the War Childhood Museum.
Sarajevo Culture & Customs
Sarajevo's culture is defined by 'komšiluk' (neighborliness), a deep-seated tradition of community and helping one another, forged through shared history. Religious and ethnic identities are strong but coexist, expressed through hospitality, coffee rituals, and a direct, often dark-humored resilience.
Cultural Etiquette
- •Greet shopkeepers and staff when entering small stores; a simple 'Dobar dan' (Good day) is appreciated.
- •When invited to a home, always bring a small gift like sweets, flowers, or coffee. Remove your shoes at the door.
- •Be respectful at religious sites: cover shoulders and knees, and women may need a headscarf in mosques (provided at entrance).
- •Avoid discussing the war or politics unless your local companion brings it up first. Be a respectful listener.
- •Tipping is customary in restaurants and cafes; round up the bill or leave 5-10% for good service.
Useful Phrases
Dobar dan - Good day (formal hello)(DOH-bar dahn)
Hvala - Thank you(HVAH-lah)
Koliko košta? - How much does it cost?(KOH-lee-koh KOSH-tah)
Jednu kafu, molim - One coffee, please(YED-noo KAH-foo, MOH-leem)
Gdje je...? - Where is...?(Gdyeh yeh...?)

Frequently Asked Questions about Sarajevo
Is Sarajevo safe for tourists?
Yes, Sarajevo is very safe for tourists. Violent crime is rare. Standard precautions apply: be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas, use licensed taxis, and be careful when walking on icy cobblestones in winter. Unexploded landmines are NOT a concern within the city.
Do I need a visa to visit Bosnia?
Citizens of the EU, UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Always check the latest requirements with official government sources before traveling.
Can I use Euros in Sarajevo?
The official currency is the Convertible Mark (KM or BAM). Some tourist shops, hotels, and restaurants may accept Euros, but the exchange rate will be poor. It's best to use local currency. ATMs are widely available, and credit cards are accepted in most established businesses.
Is English widely spoken?
Yes, especially among younger people and those working in tourism (hotels, restaurants, tour guides). In the old bazaar or with older generations, you may encounter language barriers, but people are generally helpful. Learning a few basic Bosnian phrases is appreciated.
How do I get to the Tunnel of Hope museum?
The museum is in the suburb of Butmir. Take tram line 3 to the Ilidža terminus, then switch to bus line 32 or 41 to 'Tunel' stop. Alternatively, a taxi from the city center costs about 15-20 KM (€7.5-10) each way. The museum is small but powerful.
What should I wear in Sarajevo?
Dress is generally casual but modest, especially when visiting religious sites. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for cobblestones. Pack layers as weather can change quickly, particularly in the mountains. Winters require a warm coat, hat, and gloves.
Is the Sarajevo Cable Car worth it?
Absolutely. The ride offers spectacular views of the city bowl and is the easiest way to access Trebević Mountain for hiking, the abandoned bobsled track, and restaurants with a view. It runs year-round, weather permitting. Buy tickets in advance during peak season.
What's the best way to learn about the siege?
For a comprehensive understanding, combine several sites: the War Childhood Museum (personal stories), the Tunnel of Hope (logistics of survival), the Historical Museum of BiH (broader context), and a walking tour with a local guide who lived through it. Seeing the Sarajevo Roses in the streets is also a powerful, free reminder.
