What to See & Eat in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina
???? WATCH: The Best of Athens
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE SHIRTS & MERCH:
In this episode David takes us to the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina to discover Sarajevo’s sights, sounds, and tastes. Sarajevo is a bustling capital with several historical, cultural and gastronomic stops to experience.
David starts off in the city center where he meets up with his local guide Raza to begin the tour. The best place to start is the Eternal Flame, located in the city center. It has burned continuously since 1946 except during the Bosnian War 1992-1995. It is on display for everyone to see.
David and Raza then take a walk along Ferhadija, Sarajevo’s main pedestrian street that links the two different parts of the city – the 19th century buildings dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Medieval district dating back to Ottoman occupation. In the mix there are also several communist-era buildings when Bosnia existed as a republic in the Social Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Yugoslavia, for short).
At the point when Ferhadija Street meets the Ottoman quarter, there is line on the floor that shows the split. All along Ferhadija Street there are shops, restaurants, cafés, and banks. It is also where the Eternal Flame is located.
Before Raza and David head into Bascarsija (Ottoman district), they make a quick stop at the square of the Sacred Heart Cathedral. In Bascarsija they visit the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, which was built 1530. Afterwards, Raza shows David the different ways to drink a traditional Bosnian coffee at a local Kafana. After fueling up, David stops by Sebilj fountain to have a sip of water. Legend has it that anyone who drinks from the fountain will return to Sarajevo, so we’ll see if David makes his way back one day to experience more of what to see and eat in Sarajevo!
Now time for a little souvenir shopping down Coppersmith Street. Raza shows David the most typical gift one could buy here – a copper coffee pot used to serve Bosnian coffee. All this walking around made them work up quite an appetite, so they head to a bakery to try some delicious pies (cheese, spinach, and meat). The pies are baked over a coal oven and are the perfect fast food. They are also very inexpensive.
Next thing David tries is cevapi (pronounced che-vap-ee), which is pretty much the unofficial national dish of the country. Day 2 takes David and Raza to see the city from a magnificent lookout point, Zuta Tabija, or “yellow fortress.” David recommends driving or taking a taxi there because the climb to the top is quite steep. From here you can see the center of the city and the rolling green hills in the background (in case you didn’t know, Bosnia is one of Europe’s most lush and verdant countries).
After quickly seeing Emperor’s Mosque, Raza takes David to see the exact spot where Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie, were assassinated on June 28, 1914. At the time David visited (2014) it was the 100th year anniversary of their untimely deaths. The assassination triggered the start of the First World War. After revisiting such a pivotal point in European history, David gets curious to see where all the bread he’s been eating comes from so Raza takes him to a nearby bakery, Pekara Alifakovac. They specialize in Somun bread, which is what is served with cevapi. This family-owned bakery churns out hundreds of Somun breads each day, and they have a pick-up window for customers on the go. It’s very hot inside but the experience was well worth it, especially since they allowed David to eat a piece of freshly baked bread.
Last but not least, David heads outside of the city center to visit one of the most culturally significant places in Bosnia, the Sarajevo Tunnel or Tunnel of Hope. Visitors can now see a portion of a tunnel that allowed Bosnians to smuggle in weapons and supplies during the Siege of Sarajevo (May 1992 through November 1995).
And there you have it, a brief intro about what to see and eat in Sarajevo. We hoped you liked it!

What to See & Eat in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina

Top things to see & do in SARAJEVO, Bosnia & Herzegovina!!
Join us as we continue our Balkans road trip and explore the beautiful city of Sarajevo!
The first stop on our road trip was the small town of Jablanica. This small town is well known for its roasted lamb and we were recommended to stop there by a few locals. This town is also home to a Unesco site, the Bridge on the Neretva. This bridge is dedicated to a famous WW2 battle and definitely worth a stop!
We continued on and made it to Sarajevo. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On our first day exploring the city we drove up Mount Trebivic, visited an abandoned bob sled track from the 1984 Olympics, and an old observatory tower. Afterwards, we headed back down into town to do a walking tour of the city.
Sarajevo offers several free walking tours of the city. We choose the walking tour called “War scars & new times. This war tour covers many important sights like Sniper Alley, Sarajevo Roses, The Children Memorial, and Markale Market. We were so impressed by this tour and would recommend it when visiting the city. You can find the link to this tour here :
We spent our last day in Sarajevo walking the old town, trying Bosnian coffee, and visiting the eclectic bar called Zlatna Ribica.

Exploring The BEST Things To Do In SARAJEVO!!????????
Today w'ere exploring the best things to do in SARAJEVO, BOSNIA!!

Sarajevo's a city that we guarantee you'll fall in love with. From the Old Town, to the stories of resilience, to the FOOD - this city will leave such a lasting impression on anyone who visits. Come along as we explore the best things to do in Sarajevo!
We started off by grabbing some traditional Bosnian coffee at a really cool place called Ministry of Ćejf. This small little shop in Old Town has a really cool look/feel to it. Although it was a bit different from what we're used to, make sure to try it when visiting Sarajevo!
Next up was a stop in Baščaršija. This is considered the cultural & historical center of the city and dates back to the 15th century. You’ll find all kinds of shops, tea houses, and restaurants. At the center is is Sebilj Fountain, a pseudo-Moorish fountain that’s one of the city’s most recognizable symbols. It attracts people as well as pigeons, which is why it’s often referred to as Pigeon Square.
3. Visit the Latin Bridge/Museum of Sarajevo
After walking through the bazaar we headed over toward the Latin Bridge to the Museum of Sarajevo. This museum has a very notable location as it sits on the corner where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914. This event is widely considered as the moment that lead tensions toward the beginning of WWI in Europe.
Next up were two museums centered around the Bosnia War in the 90s. The first is the Museum of Crimes against Humanity & Genocide. This museum displays the personal belongings of victims while exploring the darker history of the Bosnian War. The second museum we visited was the Gallery 11/07/95. This museum highlights the Srebrenica genocide. This genocide took place in and around the town of Srebrenica in July of 1995 where over 8,000 Bosniak Muslim men and boys were killed. These are extremely sad & sobering museums and exhibits, but they’re vital to fully understand the strength and resolve of the people in Bosnia.
In the same square as Gallery 11/07/95 is the catholic Neo-gothic church Sacred Heart Cathedral. Completed in 1887, it was damaged in the Siege of Sarajevo, but not completely destroyed. This is the largest cathedral in Bosnia & Herzegovina & is positioned right in the center of Old Town.
Sarajevo's got a huge muslim community & the city is dotted with stunning mosques. Gazi Huzrev-beg Mosque, or Bey’s Mosque, is a 16th century Ottoman mosque in Old Town and is the largest mosque in the country. Although it suffered significant damage during the war, it’s been reconstructed and is seen as the most important architectural monument from the time of Ottoman rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
One other really interesting building close by is Sarajevo City Hall, or Vijećnica. This building dates back to 1896, when Bosnia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was built in a pseudo-Moorish style is a tribute to the Muslim heritage here in the city. It’s functioned as a city hall, a Parliament House, and during the communist period, a library. At the time the library contained over 1.2 million books, but only 10-15% of the books were saved from the Siege of Sarajevo.
Bosnia REALLY knows how to cook, & you can't find much better food than at Klopa. We absolutely LOVED this restaurant and highly recommend it!
Vječna Vatra is the eternal flame of Sarajevo, and is such a perfect symbol of the spirit of the people here. It's an excellent reminder that no matter what the people of Sarajevo have gone through, they're an extraordinarily resilient people who remember their history in order to never repeat it.
We can't say enough how much we loved Sarajevo. We hope this helps you in case you ever visit, we know we will again! Thanks so much for watching & see you in a couple of days!

Best Cities in the World to Visit: Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina
It’s never fair to compare one city to another. Some have things that make it unique that may not be for everyone. Cities are full of many of these nuances but to my pleasant surprise, one made me feel like I was back home in ways I didn’t expect. In today’s video, I want to tell you about the incredible city of Sarajevo located in Bosnia & Herzegovina and why it had quite literally everything I could ask for, plus more.
Representing the capital city of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Sarajevo is a melting pot of different religions and cultures and at every step, it’s as clear as day to see. You may find yourself walking and be greeted with a family heading for prayer at the Gaza Husrev-beg Mosque, the countries largest for the ever expanding Islamic community here. Walk a little further, and you’ll see people enjoying some traditional Bosnian Food in the form of Bureks and other forms of stuffed pie meals. There’s also a reality of a not so distant past where peace was seldomly found via shelling marks on older buildings from the Bosnian war in the mid 1990’s. However, walking around today, you’ll see a city for all that it’s been through, thriving with people visiting from all over the world, but surprisingly - still unknown to many.
But for the people looking to stay here for an upcoming trip, accommodation was rarely expensive and nightly stays ranged from $15 dollars and up per night. It was common to book through popular apps such as Booking.com, but then work out a deal in a pinch for an additional few days off platform to be paid by cash. So those looking to save additional money may be wise to keep this in mind.
One of the things I loved so much about Sarajevo was just the variety of things to do. If you’re in the mood to try different types of food, there were always many options to choose from. If you wanted to take advantage of the walkability and nature here, hikes were also a fun way to get outside the city center. Shopping is not something I speak to often but if you’re interested in clothes, books or anything between, it was always within walking distance, given that you’re near the city center/old town square region of Sarajevo. Walking tours are generally a go too for me and thankfully, there were plenty to choose from as well. Depending who your guide is, with so much history taking place here, and not always of the positive kind, it was fascinating to hear the perspectives of locals that may have lived through some of these events in some capacity, but chose to remain positive of what’s ahead versus dwell on the past. Needless to say, if you’re looking for ways to stay busy here, you’ll rarely have trouble finding things to do.
If one is looking for ways to get around, I was also impressed with the options available. You have the stables of cars, taxis and bicycles, but it was also common to see people commute via scooters, trains and my favorite mode of transportation, walking. This isn’t always a given depending where you are in the world, but the infrastructure of clean sidewalks, traffic and walk lights and well lit streets made this my preferred way to explore, and it may be yours as well.
Being this is a capital city, credit cards were generally accepted at most locations but cash in the form of the Bosnian Mark will likely be the easiest form of payment used during your visit.
Touching on this earlier, but diversity was another factor that surprised me so much. Not for any reason isolated to Sarajevo, but the diversity of people whether it was religion, ethnicity or age, mixed with just how everyone was able to coexist to effortlessly, was what reminded me of my hometown of Queens in New York City.
Also like NYC, I was impressed time and time again of all the food options available. Not only was the food delicious, but the costs of food were very accessible to people of all budgets. A dish of food could be as low as $2-$3 dollars, but this never meant the quality was questionable. Cafes and bakeries were also always available too which for anyone with a slight caffeine addiction like myself, this was more than appreciated.
When it came to safety, although I never felt uneasy walking around, it’s still best to keep belongings close by and to be aware of your surroundings. Most friendly face were just that, but it’s still always good to be cautious wherever you are, just in case intentions aren’t as clear.
This was a challenging video to put together as I had to digest my love for Sarajevo in just a few minutes but could’ve easily kept going. The grittiness on the surface of this city could potentially put people off. Considering what Sarajevo had to grow from, it’s amazing to see what it’s become. This is a city that even months removed from visiting, I keep in my thoughts as not only one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited, but a city I could wholeheartedly call home one day. I loved my time in Sarajevo, and I hope this video showed why.
???????? THIS is BOSNIAN food!? (Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Ever since we saw @HamishandAndy jump from the Stari Grad in Mostar, we've wanted to visit the city. Not to do the jump, but to see the incredible architecture, eat the incredible Bosnian food, drink the incredible Bosnian cofffee and maybe watch OTHERS do the jump! ????
Today we explore the old town of Mostar at first light before we dive into some of the traditional Bosnian food. We try Klepe (Traditional Dumplings drowning in sour scream), Dolma (Stuffed Capsicum) and the traditional Bosnian version of Burek whiiiiiiiiiich quickly climbed the ladder of favourite foods! Hopefully these are all reasons enough for why you need to visit Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina and try the traditional Bosnian food!
Thanks for watching!
If you enjoyed this Bosnian food tour, please give it a like! it really helps a channel like ours grow!

We start off our gastronomic tour of Sarajevo by eating the Cevapcici, the national dish in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One of the top restaurants to eat it is at Petica Cevabzinica. It's minced meat kebab, served with bread and raw onions.
Next we head to Buregdzinica to try some traditional pies, similar to Burek. We tried one with cheese, another with cheese and spinach and one with potatoes. To be really traditional try these pies with yogurt.
We headed to 4 Sobe Gospode to try some Bosnian fusion cuisine accompanied by local wines. We tried a beef carpaccio, a mushroom risotto and a roasted lamb with house wine.
Lastly we headed to Restaurant Dveri. They have a mix of European and Bosnian food. We eat a Hungarian goulash and a delicious steak. They have an extensive wine list from the Herzegovina region. A must visit!
Those were four delicious places to eat in Sarajevo! Which was your favorite? Leave me a question or comment below!

Sarajevo (Bosnia) ⭐Top 13 things to see/do/eat in 2 days [2019] ????????
History, culture, gastronomy... Sarajevo is one of the most interesting cities in the Balkans/Europe, with so much to see and do. Discover the best way you can spend 2 days in Bosnia and Herzegovina's capital city, with 13 of the top things to see/do/eat in Sarajevo through my travel vlog.
Sarajevo (and Bosnia & Herzegovina) is not the easiest of places to really get to grips with, and not the most comfortable. But it has a remarkable, if rather dark, history and the people are extremely friendly and hospitable. Definitely a fascinating country to visit.
Top 13 things to do in Sarajevo:
1) Funky Tours FREE Walking Tour: Get your bearings and enjoy true Bosnian hospitality
2) Baščaršija (Old Town/Bazaar): Visit Kazandžiluk (Coppersmiths) Street
3) Bosnian Burek / Pita: Flaky filo pastry stuffed with meat, cheese, spinach, etc
4) Bosnian Ćevapi: Traditional mini grilled minced meat kebabs with flatbread and onions
5) Sarajevsko Beer: Drink it at the Pivnica HS traditional tavern right next to the brewery
6) Bosnian coffee: Similar but different to Turkish coffee. Get your caffeine and sugar hit
7) Tunnel of Hope Museum: Learn about the Siege of Sarajevo, see how people survived
8) Yellow Bastion / Fortress: Best sunset viewpoint and panoramic view of Sarajevo
9) Galerija 11/07/95: Understand the Srebenica genocide
10) Latin Bridge: Stand in the place where World War I started
11) Mount Trebević Cable Car (Sarajevska žičara): Ride up the famous mountain
12) Abandoned Olympic Bobsled & Luge Track: Insta photo worthy but also horrific history
13) Bistrik Tower Urban Exploration (Urbex): Near the bottom of the bobsled track
Highly recommended tours by Sarajevo Funky Tours ( especially the Free Walking Tour. Thanks to my guides Adnan and Damir. Note: I was not sponsored for these tours and paid full price as any member of the public.

What to see & eat in Sarajevo
Mommy Avie had 24hrs layover in Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of Europe's cheapest countries for tourists, but has remained relatively off the tourist radar, overshadowed by its more popular neighbour, Croatia.
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The name Sarajevo derives from the Turkish noun saray, meaning palace or mansion (from Persian sarāy, سرای, of the same meaning); academia is split on the origin of the evo attached to the end(wikipedia.com)
