2025 Kanton Sarajevo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#EuropeanTravel #BosniaHerzegovina #Sarajevo 🇧🇦 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Hercegovina 📍 Ćevabdžinica Mrkva 🌭 One of the traditional foods of Bosnia and Herzegovina is cebapi. It is a food where meat is made into long sticks like Turkish köfte kebab and eaten with oven bread. Adding kaymak is a must here. Unlike Turkish kaymak, it is salty, but you can taste the cheese flavor, and it is very delicious when you dip the cebapi meat in it and wrap it in chewy oven bread! It is so rich and addictive. If you go to Bosnia, you must try cebapi 💙

Attraction: Tunnel of Hope Address: BA, 1, Tuneli, Sarajevo 71000, Bosnia Directions: This place can be a bit tricky to find, therefore it is best to join a tour Tickets : 10KM for adults, 5KM for students The Sarajevo Tunnel Tunnel of Hope was a tunnel constructed between March and June 1993 during the Siege of Sarajevo in the middle of Bosnian War. Here in the tunnel of hope, you can experience walking the tunnel for around 25 meters.

A walk to the hill top near the Sarajevo airport before leaving the city. Plenty of free parking spaces. #sarajevo

🫶🏻 Sarajevo, I’m in love! Your warm spirit, rich history, and beautiful mix of cultures have truly captured my 💓. From the lively charm of Baščaršija to the quiet reverence of your memorials, every corner tells a story that draws me in and leaves a lasting emotional connection. 🧐 Why Sarajevo? Sarajevo is undoubtedly one of the most captivating cities in the world—beautiful, walkable, and full of character. Nestled among majestic mountains, it buzzes with cozy cafes, lively streets, and a charm that blends nostalgia with a sense of hope. What truly makes it unforgettable, though, are the people—Bosnians are genuinely some of the warmest and most welcoming I’ve encountered in all my Balkan travels. 📌Essentials 📱 Get an e-SIM that covers the Balkan region 🗺️ Google Maps works perfectly for navigation. 💳 An international bank card is all you need—I didn’t have to exchange any money during my 3-day stay. 🚃 Trams are affordable—you pay a single fare to the driver and can ride as long as you like, as long as you don’t get off before your destination. 🛬 How to get here: ✈️ By Air – Flying is the fastest option, with Sarajevo well-connected to major cities across Europe and the Balkans. 🚌 By Bus – Direct buses run from nearby cities like Dubrovnik, Zagreb (Croatia), and Belgrade (Serbia), making it an easy and budget-friendly option—just keep in mind that it may take a bit longer. 🚘 By Car – Driving offers flexibility and scenic views, but be prepared for possible challenges at border crossings, especially if you're unfamiliar with the local languages like Bosnian or Serbo-Croatian. 🏨 Where to Stay: 🏙️ For a short stay – Choose a hotel in the city center, close to Sarajevo’s iconic spots like Baščaršija and the Miljacka River, for easy access to the heart of the action. 🏡 For a longer stay – Airbnb offers a wide range of apartments to suit any budget, giving you a more local and comfortable experience. 🗓️ Best time to visit: According to the locals, ☀️ Late Spring (May–Jun) and 🍂 Early Autumn (Sep–Oct) are ideal times to experience Sarajevo’s beauty, with mild weather and fewer crowds. We visited in late April—it was stunning, but quite windy. The cable car was shut due to strong gusts, and our flights in and out of Sarajevo were affected by the wind as well. 🤩 Must see 🆓 attractions on foot 0️⃣1️⃣ Baščaršija 0️⃣2️⃣ Sebilj 0️⃣3️⃣ Baščaršija Mosque 0️⃣4️⃣ Sarajevo City Hall 0️⃣5️⃣ Šeher-ćehaja Bridge 0️⃣6️⃣ Vijećnica 0️⃣7️⃣ Sarajevska žičara (the cable car ride is not free 15KM for one way or 20KM for a return, children under 7 are free) 0️⃣8️⃣ Emperor's Mosque 0️⃣9️⃣ Latin Bridge or Latinska Ćuprija 1️⃣0️⃣ Music Pavilion - At Mejdan 1️⃣1️⃣ Ćumurija most 1️⃣2️⃣ Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos 1️⃣3️⃣ Sacred Heart Cathedral 1️⃣4️⃣ Pijaca Markale food market 1️⃣5️⃣ Ferhadija Street #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #familytravel #myitinerary #citydaytours

Some places you visit. Others, you feel in your bones. Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is the kind of city that wraps around your heart like a familiar melody. It’s raw, it’s poetic, and it’s quietly powerful. Cradled by the Dinaric Alps, Sarajevo sits in a valley steeped in memory and magic — and as soon as you arrive, you sense its depth. Where East and West Shake Hands Walking down Ferhadija Street is like time-traveling in both directions. One minute you’re beside Austrian Baroque facades and Viennese cafés, and with just a few more steps — poof! — you’re in Baščaršija, the city’s Ottoman-era bazaar, where copper artisans hammer away in tiny workshops and the air smells of ćevapi and strong, unfiltered Bosnian coffee. This is Sarajevo’s spirit — not one thing or another, but a beautiful blend of both. A City That Remembers Sarajevo has seen its share of heartbreak. From the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand that sparked World War I, to the nearly four-year siege in the 1990s, the city wears its history on its sleeve. Yet it rises with such quiet dignity. Visit the Tunnel of Hope, a secret lifeline dug beneath the airport during the war, and you’ll understand the endurance of its people. Or stop by the Sarajevo Roses — red resin-filled scars in the pavement, memorials to where shells once fell. They are not just reminders. They are promises: never again. But Oh, There is Light! Despite its past, Sarajevo glows. Golden at sunset, lively by night. Street musicians play sevdalinka — the blues of Bosnia — while locals sip rakija under lantern-lit terraces. Try burek fresh from a local pekara. Sit by the Sebilj Fountain in Baščaršija and feed the pigeons like the locals. Hike up to the Yellow Fortress for a panoramic view that might just take your breath away. It’s not a flashy city. It’s a feeling. A kind of sacred melancholy, wrapped in laughter and warmth. ⸻ Sarajevo is not polished. It’s real. And that’s what makes it unforgettable. By a Traveler Who Found Beauty in the Echoes

Although it is an airport in the capital of a country, Sarajevo Airport is very cute. Since the entire population of Bolivia is just over 3 million, there will be fewer people using this airport. So you can find your luggage faster and easier, and you won't get lost at the airport. #Overseas travel #European travel #Bosnia #Bosnia and Herzegovina #Sarajevo #Sarajevo International Airport #Airport

#mountainhike Feeling active and you happen to be in Bosnia? Hiking to the Sarajevo Viewpoint can be your next awesome trekking adventure! The trail starts just outside the city (better take bus to the trail head) and the trail takes you through BEAUTIFUL hills in the city. It’s a little steep, but the path is popular and short, so it's easy to follow. It took me about 60 mins to get to the top!) As you hike, you’ll see amazing views of Sarajevo and the surrounding mountains. Once you reach the viewpoint, I am sure that you’ll be blown away by the stunning panorama of the city below! It’s a perfect spot to take photos and enjoy a snack. The fresh air and nature… This is just a fun escape from the city hustle. If you’re ever in Bosnia or Sarajevo, add hiking to the Sarajevo Viewpoint as your must-do list!

#europetrip I recently had the adrenaline rush of a lifetime sledding down Mount Bjelasnica, one of the iconic mountains used during the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. The scenery was breathtaking, with lush green forests and picturesque villages dotting the landscape. But the real thrill was speeding down the snowy slopes on a sled, feeling the rush of the winter Olympics. The experience was exhilarating, and I felt like an Olympic athlete for a day! If you're a thrill-seeker or just looking for a unique experience, Mount Bjelasnica is a must-visit destination.

#2024TravelReview The Bosnian Spring (Vrelo Bosne) is the source of the Bosnian River, which flows into the Sava River. It is the third longest river in the country, with a total length of 271 kilometers. This place is very much like a park and is a great place for an outing in the suburbs. The ticket price is 6 km per person and you can explore on foot or by horse-drawn carriage. The beautiful lake in this park is full of fish and swans 😍, and the reflections in the water are beautiful ✨️. It is also known as the birthplace of the river that divides Sarajevo in two. It is the first choice for tourists to the city. The locals also love it❤️, and many people come to visit with their families😊. #travelinspiration #cooltravelexperiences #coupletravel

#EuropeanTravel #Sarajevo #BosniaHerzegovina 🇧🇦Sarajevo, BosniaHerzegovina 📍Yellow Fortress Sarajevo Viewpoint 🌅 I visited Sarajevo, the capital of BosniaHerzegovina. If you climb up the Yellow Fortress, also known as the Sarajevo Viewpoint, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset along with the view of Sarajevo City. Even though it was midsummer in late August, the weather was chilly in the evening and the sun set around 7:30!! As the sun set, the entire sky turned orange, which was a spectacular sight. If you're traveling to Sarajevo, be sure to enjoy the sunset at the Yellow Fortress ❤️

Sarajevo is most famous for this bridge (Latin Bridge). On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was assassinated here. Then the incident gradually escalated, leading to the outbreak of World War I! Today it has become a tourist attraction. ​War Children's Museum: collects stories and items of dozens of children affected by war around the world. After reading it, my son was very moved and said that we should cherish our lives. ​Resting in the cafe, a young man came to chat and claimed to be the most famous young writer in the local area. Buy a book of his to support him [smile] ​The house booked on BOOKING has a beautiful yard, but the location is hard to find [pick nose]
