About Sarajevo

Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a lively city set in a valley surrounded by the Dinaric Alps, known for its mix of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and modern influences. Its historic Baščaršija bazaar, diverse religious landmarks, and rich café culture reflect centuries of cultural blending. Sarajevo is also remembered for key 20th-century events, including the 1914 assassination that sparked World War I and the city’s resilience during the 1990s siege.
