City of east and west

by Rusket - last update: Apr 12, 2006

Historic city

Bascarsija
The Capital of Bosnia and Hercegovina, the city where a gunshot started world war I, the city which housed the XIV winter olympic games in 1984 and the city that has survived the longest siege in newer war history.

Variable spring climate

We arrived 11 april 2006, a warm and sunny day. The next morning snow was covering the surrounding hills ...

Carpets, Bascarsija, Sarajevo

Multicultural

Walking around Bascarsija is like entering an arabic market in european surrounings. There are small art and craft shops, and numerous restaurants and food stores. And everything is cheap compared to norwegian standards.

In a small area there are mosques, synagoges and roman catholic, orthodox and protestant churces.
