Overview

Discover the heart of Sarajevo, shaped by centuries of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian rule, on this self guided tour with a mobile app.

See where East meets West, literally, while uncovering the stories behind centuries-old mosques, caravanserais, Austro-Hungarian era cathedrals, and wartime scars. On this tour, you will find out how a house was moved brick by brick, how the city survived the longest siege in modern history and why this city is called the Eastern Jerusalem. From the exact spot that sparked World War I to the hidden corners of the Ottoman bazaar, this route is packed with surprising tales and beautiful architecture.

Walk at your own pace, take breaks to sample Bosnian coffee when you like, and dive deep into Sarajevo’s rich, resilient spirit. This tour is ideal for first-time visitors who want both context and flexibility. Our self-guided tours are trusted by over 20,000 travelers, and a full refund guarantee means you can book with confidence
