Sarajevo for beginners
A two-hour walk through the historical core of Sarajevo is ideal for those who do not stay long in our city and want to find out more about this interesting place. We can also call the tour a “journey through centuries”, since we touch the different time epochs, starting from the ancient Neolithic, to this day. Among other things, we will find out: Who is the founder of Sarajevo and what exactly does the name Sarajevo mean? Where does the doom of Sarajevo City Hall come from? And much more.
The art of survival
This tour and the museums we see tell the story of the dark and sad part of Sarajevo’s history. Only twenty years ago, citizens of this city spent the longest siege in the history of modern warfare. For almost four years they were exposed to continuous attacks by various weapons, without electricity, water, any connection to the outside world. The way Sarajevo’s citizens survived is rightly called “The Art of Survival”. What really happened in Sarajevo from ’92 to ’95? Let's learn together.
