In this episode David takes us to the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina to discover Sarajevo’s sights, sounds, and tastes. Sarajevo is a bustling capital with several historical, cultural and gastronomic stops to experience.
David starts off in the city center where he meets up with his local guide Raza to begin the tour. The best place to start is the Eternal Flame, located in the city center. It has burned continuously since 1946 except during the Bosnian War 1992-1995. It is on display for everyone to see.
David and Raza then take a walk along Ferhadija, Sarajevo’s main pedestrian street that links the two different parts of the city – the 19th century buildings dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Medieval district dating back to Ottoman occupation. In the mix there are also several communist-era buildings when Bosnia existed as a republic in the Social Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Yugoslavia, for short).
At the point when Ferhadija Street meets the Ottoman quarter, there is line on the floor that shows the split. All along Ferhadija Street there are shops, restaurants, cafés, and banks. It is also where the Eternal Flame is located.
Before Raza and David head into Bascarsija (Ottoman district), they make a quick stop at the square of the Sacred Heart Cathedral. In Bascarsija they visit the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, which was built 1530. Afterwards, Raza shows David the different ways to drink a traditional Bosnian coffee at a local Kafana. After fueling up, David stops by Sebilj fountain to have a sip of water. Legend has it that anyone who drinks from the fountain will return to Sarajevo, so we’ll see if David makes his way back one day to experience more of what to see and eat in Sarajevo!
Now time for a little souvenir shopping down Coppersmith Street. Raza shows David the most typical gift one could buy here – a copper coffee pot used to serve Bosnian coffee. All this walking around made them work up quite an appetite, so they head to a bakery to try some delicious pies (cheese, spinach, and meat). The pies are baked over a coal oven and are the perfect fast food. They are also very inexpensive.
Next thing David tries is cevapi (pronounced che-vap-ee), which is pretty much the unofficial national dish of the country. Day 2 takes David and Raza to see the city from a magnificent lookout point, Zuta Tabija, or “yellow fortress.” David recommends driving or taking a taxi there because the climb to the top is quite steep. From here you can see the center of the city and the rolling green hills in the background (in case you didn’t know, Bosnia is one of Europe’s most lush and verdant countries).
After quickly seeing Emperor’s Mosque, Raza takes David to see the exact spot where Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie, were assassinated on June 28, 1914. At the time David visited (2014) it was the 100th year anniversary of their untimely deaths. The assassination triggered the start of the First World War. After revisiting such a pivotal point in European history, David gets curious to see where all the bread he’s been eating comes from so Raza takes him to a nearby bakery, Pekara Alifakovac. They specialize in Somun bread, which is what is served with cevapi. This family-owned bakery churns out hundreds of Somun breads each day, and they have a pick-up window for customers on the go. It’s very hot inside but the experience was well worth it, especially since they allowed David to eat a piece of freshly baked bread.
Last but not least, David heads outside of the city center to visit one of the most culturally significant places in Bosnia, the Sarajevo Tunnel or Tunnel of Hope. Visitors can now see a portion of a tunnel that allowed Bosnians to smuggle in weapons and supplies during the Siege of Sarajevo (May 1992 through November 1995).
And there you have it, a brief intro about what to see and eat in Sarajevo. We hoped you liked it!

Sarajevo (and Bosnia & Herzegovina) is not the easiest of places to really get to grips with, and not the most comfortable. But it has a remarkable, if rather dark, history and the people are extremely friendly and hospitable. Definitely a fascinating country to visit.

4) Bosnian Ćevapi: Traditional mini grilled minced meat kebabs with flatbread and onions
5) Sarajevsko Beer: Drink it at the Pivnica HS traditional tavern right next to the brewery
6) Bosnian coffee: Similar but different to Turkish coffee. Get your caffeine and sugar hit
7) Tunnel of Hope Museum: Learn about the Siege of Sarajevo, see how people survived
8) Yellow Bastion / Fortress: Best sunset viewpoint and panoramic view of Sarajevo
9) Galerija 11/07/95: Understand the Srebenica genocide
10) Latin Bridge: Stand in the place where World War I started
11) Mount Trebević Cable Car (Sarajevska žičara): Ride up the famous mountain
12) Abandoned Olympic Bobsled & Luge Track: Insta photo worthy but also horrific history

Bosnia & Herzegovina - Land of Wonders
Bosnia-Herzegovina is a place to discover. After two weeks of traveling in the country, I realized that Bosnia-Herzegovina is much more than a former Yugoslav Republic, dating its history back to the 12th century. The combination of overwhelming natural attractions and warm, hospitable people make Bosnia-Herzegovina quite an interesting place to visit and explore. The different religious creeds and social mixture give another point of interest to this country from the cultural and sociologic standpoints. Don’t miss the impressive waterfalls in Jajce and Kravice and enjoy the cosmopolitan ambience of Mostar and Sarajevo. History and modern life; art, religion and culture; you will find it all in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Take your time to enjoy and learn a bit more about this Balkan country, definitely a land of wonders.

Sarajevo War Tunnel (Tunnel of Hope), Bosnia & Herzegovina
Build in 1993 by the Bosnian Army, during the Siege of Sarajevo in the midst of the Bosnian War, the Tunnel of Hope is an 800m underground tunnel connecting the Serbian held city of Sarajevo with Bosnian held territory across the airport runway. It became an important passage for food, humanitarian aid and war supplies. For 4 years this tunnel provided the lifeline to the outnumbered Bosnian Army to offer resistance against the Serbian forces which eventually lead them to victory.
The tunnel has become an important landmark in Sarajevo today. A museum was built and is open to public. Only 25m of the tunnel is accessible to visitors. A 15 minutes footage of how the tunnel was build and the struggle the Bosniaks went thru during the war is also aired for the duration of the tunnel opening hours.
This video is about my tour of The Tunnel Of Hope, in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Enjoy watching.
ONE DAY IN SARAJEVO ISN'T ENOUGH
We spent a day exploring Sarajevo's Baščaršija: the old bazaar and cultural center of the city. It didn't take long to realize there is so much to see and do in the capital of Bosnia & Herzegovina and we debated staying here longer than originally planned. We had some delicious food at a restaurant called Barhana and learned how to drink Bosnian coffee. The historic centre is truly beautiful and we hope we'll get a chance to discover more of all the things to do in Sarajevo next time!
