Sarajevo

View from the Hills
Sarajevo is the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and with an estimated total population of over 400,000 people it is the largest urban area.

It is a very interesting and inviting city to visit and is still not over run with tourists!

It is a city on the mend . Sarajevo underwent the longest siege in modern military history during the Bosnian War and of course the scars are still evident.

Turkish Quarter

We stayed in the Old Turkish Quarter. Windy cobblestone streets, coffee shops , where people sit for hours over a tiny strong brew. Rich in tradition and culture this is a place you won't want to leave!!

The History

The beautiful Latin Bridge is the oldest among the preserved bridges in the city . It is where the assassination of Archduke of the Austrian Hungarian empire Franz Ferdinand occurred and sparked the beginning of World War .

Pros:"Inviting and interesting , steeped in history and culture"
Cons:"the scars of war are painfully still so evident"
In A Nutshell:"More than just what the history books record"

 Anita, fantastic page about this fabulous city. I was in Sarajevo just two weeks ago and we also enjoyed the Chevapcici at Zeljo's.

 Thanks for bringing back the memories of our great stay in Sarajevo. We possibly have stayed in the same room by the way!
