A mixture of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Serbian-orthodox and jewish culture. It is quite a special place to visit. Also one of the few places with a lunar clocktower.
You can really tell a lot of different nations were present here before.
It’s a beautiful mix of pretty much every major culture in the written history.
Was travelling for close to two years in the Balkan + Istanbul and in particular in Sarajevo for 3 months and it was my favourite city.
Beautiful
I’ve never been to Sarajevo but I definitely want to. It looks really stunning from the pictures. Very underrated city, it seems.
I’d really like to go and tried planning a long weekend next November but it’s just a nightmare to get there from where I live (northern Italy), need to change in Istanbul or Belgrade. Not worth it for just a couple of days I’m afraid, I’ll plan a longer visit in the region some day soon.
Spent a week there. One of my favorite in that trip
A post about Europe in my r/europe? Where is the 9th daily post saying Russians are vermins and must be eradicated from the planet?
I wonder what it looked like 30 years ago. Must have been pretty!
I went for the New Year for a few days to Sarajevo and Jablanica and I can concur. Sarajevo was really nice, but I stayed closer to the airport – so, my first day back from Jablanica involved a 25km walk up and down Trebevic (fuck a cable car) and, then, to where I was staying.
Walking along the bobsleigh track was amazing and completed a dream I had for over a decade. The food was really nice, as well.
To summarise, I would recommend visiting Bosnia.
I’m going there soon! What do you recommend
Are you sniper?
Very nice photo album, thank you.
One of my favourite cities! Theres this incredible blend of cultures, natural beauty, and history built into the physical environment (some very solemn reminders as well). I found Sarajevo and Bosnia as a whole a very serine and peaceful place, while also constantly seeing the scars of conflict everywhere. It reminded me how resilient people can be. If you ever have the chance to visit this city, you absolutely should.
