• 5Must do in Sarajevo!

  The tunnel of hope is something you need to see when you visit Sarajevo because it shows the resilience of Bosnians and Herzegovinians during the agression on Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 90s. Kenan was amazing, all recommendations!

• 5Journey through a recent and turbulent past

  This is a tour that takes you through the recent, dark and turbulent past of the former Yugoslavia. We visited the very emplacements from which the enemy army besieged and rained down artillery on the City of Sarajevo. In another highlight of the tour, we crossed the so called tunnel of hope which the defending army dug below the airport grounds in order to avoid Serbian artillery fire. At every moment of this tour our guide Kenan A. was available to provide valuable context and thoroughly answer our questions. I should also say that Kenan is equally versed in many other topics of the former Yugoslavia (like music) which I particularly appreciated, myself also being a fan of ex-Yugo rock music.

About Sarajevo

Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, lies in a mountain-ringed valley where Ottoman bazaars meet Austro-Hungarian boulevards.

Sarajevo follows the Miljacka River through a long valley with steep green hills on either side. Baščaršija, the old Ottoman bazaar, has copper workshops, tea houses and the Sebilj, a wooden fountain, and the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque dates from the 1530s. West of it, the streets turn to Austro-Hungarian façades and cafés, so that a mosque, a Catholic cathedral, an Orthodox church and a synagogue all stand within a short walk.

Top-ranked sights in Sarajevo: Sarajevo Tunnel (Tunel Spasa), Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track, Latin Bridge (Latinska Ćuprija).
