Tour Details

What’s included? City walking tour, war related tour and the Olympic excursion.

If you cannot decide whether you do Eat, Pray Love, Olympic tour or War related tour, why not do all of them in the ultimate Sarajevo tour, known as the Best of Sarajevo? We will get to know the spirit of a city that has centuries long tradition and a turbulent history. Discover the heart of the Ottoman Sarajevo – Bascarsija, drink water from Sebilj, tickle your senses with some of the traditional delicacies such as burek, ćevapi, baklava or tufahija. Stop by four major religious places of worship and feel why Sarajevo is known as confluence of good energy. Leave the city’s noise behind you and experience the breathtaking panoramic view from the Yellow Fortress as the guide explains the disturbing and horrific past of the siege of Sarajevo. Learn how Sarajevo became one of the symbols of resistance and how this vivid city didn’t give in during 1425 days. The best example of the Bosnian spite is the tunnel, dug underneath the airport’s runway. Walk through 25 meters of the original tunnel and feel the goose-bumps as you listen to stories imbued with sufferings, blood and danger. To sum up our full day journey, we will visit three Olympic mountains which are placed on the edges of the city. We say that they were our biggest blessings during the XIV Winter Olympic Games, when all eyes were fixed on Sarajevo and Yugoslavia. However, less than 10 years later they became a curse that could not be escaped and a ring of fire from which city and its inhabitants were heavily shelled. At the end we will visit the Olympic museum where we proudly keep the memory of one of the most successful Winter Olympics of the 20th century.
