Sarajevo

When to go

Spring and early autumn are particularly good for walks. Summer can be hot, while winter may bring snow and cold weather.

Things to see and do

Walk through Baščaršija, visit the Latin Bridge, historic mosques and museums, and enjoy a viewpoint above the city.

Practical tips

The historic centre is compact and easy to explore on foot. Check weather and transport beforehand for mountain trips and excursions outside the city.

Getting there and getting around

Sarajevo has an international airport. Buses and trains connect it with other parts of the country and neighbouring states.

Where to stay

Baščaršija and central districts are practical for a first visit. Areas a little outside the old town offer a quieter atmosphere.

What to try

Try ćevapi, burek, begova čorba, Bosnian coffee and traditional desserts.
