Travel Guide to the Capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina - Sarajevo

The tunnel of Hope passed under the runway of the airfield, and its actual length is about one kilometer. A piece of 25 meters is equipped for visiting, but this is quite enough to experience the horror of wartime, which took place only about 30 years ago.

There are a lot of photos left, the soldiers' belongings, and a film about the tunnel construction is also shown. It's all a bit creepy, but it accurately reflects the importance of the place in the country's history.

In general, the capital of Bosnia looks like an ordinary small European town, but the area of ​​Bascarsija is clearly reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire: a large number of mosques, carpet trade everywhere, a variety of oriental cafes and restaurants.

It is quite crowded here during the day, but you definitely need to take a walk in the heart of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It is unusual to find a Catholic cathedral among mosques and oriental shops in ​Bascarsija.

The architecture of the building stands out vividly against the background of small houses along the central streets, and the church is so large that it can even be seen from the mountains that surround Sarajevo.

We would not say that the Latin Bridge somehow stands out visually among the other bridges over the Miljacka River.

The Latin Bridge has an important historical significance for the whole world. The heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was killed there, which was the direct cause of the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.

The Milyatski River embankment is full of historical buildings with European architecture. Despite the recent war, many architectural delights have been preserved here, and the most significant objects have recently been redecorated.

We recommend walking down the river from the City Hall and take a closer look at the preserved architecture of Sarajevo.

Don't worry, you won't need to twist in the loop, the bridge has a flat horizontal pedestrian surface. The design is often compared to the famous Bosnian burek, a meat bun in the form of a spiral.

The most beautiful building of the Academy of Fine Arts is located opposite the bridge. The architectural combination turned out to be quite contradictory, but they say that local students designed the bridge. Apparently, they like it.

We were in Sarajevo in the summer, when the thermometer showed a temperature of about +37 in the afternoon. Naturally, after such a hot day, the thermal pools are very pleasant to bring back to life.

The building itself and the infrastructure inside are already quite old, but for variety and health, we highly recommend frolicking there.

In Sarajevo, we tried the Alpine slides for the first time in our lives. We were so impressed that now we visit such slides in all countries and cities. It doesn't matter what the price is or how long it takes to get there.

The complex offers a good view of the city. The only thing that really got in the way of getting high was the kids slowing down in front, who were afraid to accelerate properly.

We have a little secret — we remember new cities and countries based on local food, which we try everywhere. So, remind us which cafes and restaurants we visited, and we'll recallect everything else about the city!

There are many small bistros in Sarajevo right in the courtyards. The locals drink beer here in the evenings, and we go to them to gorge on local food. The prices are low, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is homely.

We recommend Sami Bistro, we have tried all their menus!

The space works in the format of a food court: you buy food in the restaurants you like and look for a free table. Live music plays in the evenings. Most of the tables have a view of the mountains, and at sunset there is stunning beauty.

There is a supermarket on the first floor of the building. We always bought groceries there, since it offers the most diverse range of products.
