What you’ll do

With so many restaurants, tips, and places to go at hand, you might feel like Sarajevo is a place where you can spend a whole month exploring. And that is right! Sometimes though, you only have a long weekend. This is what I would do with friends visiting for four days, places I think they shouldn‘t miss. You can just use it as inspiration for yourself too.

On the first day, you will explore the city and get to know the different parts of Sarajevo – East and West and how the different cultures of orient and occident are irrevocably intertwined in this city.
