Places to Visit When in Bosnia | Where to Travel in Bosnia | City of Tuzla
Lets take a tour of Tuzla City.
Tuzla is the third largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the administrative center of Tuzla Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city of Tuzla is home to Europe's only salt lake as part of its central park. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, Tuzla is also regarded as one of the most multicultural cities in the country and has managed to keep the pluralist character of the city throughout the Bosnian War and after, with Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats and a small minority of Bosnian Jews residing in Tuzla. Tuzla is one of the oldest European sustained settlements. During the period of the Roman Republic (before the area was conquered by Rome), Tuzla (or Salines as it was called at the time) was ruled by the Illyrian tribe Breuci. It remained under Ottoman rule for nearly 400 years.

Sarajevo Bosnia i Herzegovina
Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with 310,605 people in the four municipalities that make up the city proper, and a metro-area population of 436,572 people in the Sarajevo Canton as of June 2010[update]. It is also the capital of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina entity, as well as the center of the Sarajevo Canton. Sarajevo is located in the Sarajevo valley of Bosnia, surrounded by the Dinaric Alps and situated along the Miljacka River.
The city is famous for its traditional religious diversity, with adherents of Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism coexisting there for centuries.[4] Due to this long and rich history of religious diversity, Sarajevo is often being called the Jerusalem of Europe[5] or Jerusalem of the Balkans.[6]
Although settlement in the area stretches back to prehistoric times, the modern city arose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century.[7] Sarajevo has attracted international attention several times throughout its history. In 1885 Sarajevo was the first city in Europe and the second city in the world to have a full-time electric tram network running through the city, the first being San Francisco, California.[8] In 1914 it was the site of the assassination that sparked World War I. Seventy years later, it hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics. For nearly four years, from 1992--1996, the city suffered under the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War for independence.
Today the city is undergoing post-war reconstruction, as a major center of culture and economic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[9] The travel guide series, Lonely Planet, has named Sarajevo as the 43rd best city in the world,[10] and in December 2009 listed Sarajevo as one of the top ten cities to visit in 2010.[11
Szarajevó (bosnyákul, horvátul és szerbül Sarajevo, cirill írással Сарајево, törökül Saraybosna, mely névből a saray tag palotát jelent) Bosznia-Hercegovina fővárosa. A Dinári-hegységben, a Miljacka-folyó két partján fekszik. Lakosságát elővárosaival együtt 400 ezer főre becsülik. Túlnyomóan bosnyákok, ezenkívül szerbek és horvátok lakják.
Szarajevó a fővárosa az ország két ún. entitásának, a Bosznia-Hercegovinai Föderációnak és (legalábbis hivatalosan) a Szerb Köztársaságnak is.
Az oszmán hódítók alapította város az újkor hajnalán Európa legfejlettebb városai közé számított. Az osztrák-magyar korszak kapcsolta be az európai kulturális vérkeringésbe. A jugoszláv állam időszakában már téli olimpia házigazdája is volt.
Szarajevó nevével több fontos történelmi esemény is összeforrt. 1914-ben itt lett merénylet áldozata Ferenc Ferdinánd osztrák trónörökös, ami ürügyül szolgált az első világháború kirobbantásához. De a szarajevóiak élték át a boszniai háború (1992-1995) alatt a modern kori történelem egyik leghosszabb, több mint három éven át tartó ostromát is.
A város egyedülálló légkörét a történetét alakító négy vallási csoport (római katolikus, muszlim, ortodox és zsidó) által hátrahagyott épített és más kulturális javak adják. Az útikönyvek szerint Szarajevó a világ egyetlen városa, ahol néhány száz méteren belül katolikus és ortodox templom, mecset és zsinagóga is található

A regional center in education, the city is also home to the Balkans' first institution of tertiary education in the form of an Islamic polytechnic called the Saraybosna Osmanlı Medrese, today part of the University of Sarajevo.
Although settlement in the area stretches back to prehistoric times, the modern city arose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. Sarajevo has attracted international attention several times throughout its history. In 1885, Sarajevo was the first city in Europe and the second city in the world to have a full-time electric tram network running through the city, following San Francisco. In 1914, it was the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, which sparked World War I, after which the city experienced a period of stagnation as part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The establishment of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the Second Yugoslavia led to a massive expansion of Sarajevo, the constituent republic's capital, which hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics. For 1,425 days, from April 1992 to February 1996, the city suffered the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare, during the Bosnian War and the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Sports-related tourism uses the legacy facilities of the 1984 Winter Olympics, especially the skiing facilities on the nearby mountains of Bjelašnica, Igman, Jahorina, Trebević, and Treskavica. Sarajevo's 600 years of history, influenced by both Western and Eastern empires, makes it a tourist attraction with splendid variations. Sarajevo has hosted travellers for centuries, because it was an important trading center during the Ottoman and Austria-Hungarian empires. Examples of popular destinations in Sarajevo include the Vrelo Bosne park, the Sarajevo cathedral, and the Gazi Husrev-beg's Mosque. Tourism in Sarajevo is chiefly focused on historical, religious, cultural sites and winter sports.
Sarajevo is host to many parks throughout the city and on the outskirts of city. A popular activity among Sarajevo citizens is street chess, usually played at Trg oslobođenja Alija Izetbegović. Veliki Park is the largest green area in the center of Sarajevo. It’s nestled between Titova, Koševo, Džidžikovac, Tina Ujevića and Trampina Streets and in the lower part there is a monument dedicated to the Children of Sarajevo. Hastahana skate park is a popular place to relax in the Austro-Hungarian neighborhood of Marijin Dvor. Goat's Bridge, locally known as Kozija Ćuprija, in the Miljacka Canyon is also a popular park destination along the Dariva walkway and river Miljacka.
Sarajevo is also famous for its city lookouts; including an observation deck on Avaz Twist Tower, Park Prinčeva restaurant, Vidikovac lookout (Mt.
