Tour description
Walk the crossroads of East and West on this free walking tour of Sarajevo's old town. With a local guide you'll gather at the Sebilj fountain in the Ottoman-era Baščaršija bazaar, wander lanes of coppersmiths and cafés, and visit the grand Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque. Cross the symbolic line where the Ottoman city meets the Austro-Hungarian one, pass Orthodox, Catholic and Jewish landmarks, and reach the Latin Bridge, where the shot that sparked World War I was fired. Hear a powerful story of coexistence, siege and resilience, and pick up insider tips on ćevapi, Bosnian coffee and the best viewpoints. Free to join — simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth at the end.
