Overview

Explore Sarajevo at your own pace with a self-guided walking tour on your phone — no app needed and no physical guide. You get a clear map of all 10 stops, simple directions through Google Maps, and short audio stories you can play when you reach each location.

The route traces Sarajevo's layered history, from the Ottoman bazaar of Baščaršija to the grand Austro-Hungarian quarter, passing landmarks such as the City Hall (Vijećnica), the Sebilj fountain, the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, the Latin Bridge and the Ashkenazi Synagogue.

Along the way, interactive quizzes and riddles unlock each stop, so you learn the city's stories while you play. Walk solo or team up with friends and family, start whenever you like, and take as long as you want — your ticket stays valid so you can tour Sarajevo on your own schedule.

What to expect

  1. Pass by
    Begin at the City Hall (Vijećnica), Sarajevo's most striking Austro-Hungarian landmark. Opened in 1896 in a pseudo-Moorish style, it later served as the national library. Start your Ciceru audio story here.
  2. Kazandziluk
    Pass by
    Wander down Kazandžiluk, the coppersmiths' street, where artisans have hammered and engraved copper goods by hand for centuries. The ringing of their tools is one of the oldest sounds of the old bazaar.
  3. Sebilj Brunnen (Fountain)
    Pass by
    Admire the Sebilj, the ornate wooden fountain at the heart of Baščaršija square. A symbol of Sarajevo, it stands among the pigeons as one of the city's most photographed spots.
  4. Bascarsija
    Pass by
    Explore Baščaršija, Sarajevo's 15th-century Ottoman bazaar and old town. Its lanes are lined with workshops, coffee houses and market stalls, and it remains the lively cultural centre of the city.
  5. Morica Han
    Pass by
    Step into Morića Han, a restored Ottoman-era inn (han) from the 16th century that once sheltered caravans and traders. Today its courtyard holds shops and a café in the heart of the bazaar.
  6. Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque
    Pass by
    Pause at the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, completed in 1531 and the largest historical mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its courtyard and fountain anchor the religious life of the old town.
  7. Latin Bridge
    Pass by
    Stop at the Latin Bridge, an Ottoman-era stone bridge over the Miljacka river. It is best known as the site of the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the event that helped trigger the First World War.
  8. Ferhadija Mosque
    Pass by
    See the Ferhadija Mosque, a 16th-century Ottoman mosque, as the route moves along Ferhadija street, the lively pedestrian artery where Ottoman Sarajevo meets the Austro-Hungarian quarter.
  9. Ashkenazi Synagogue
    Pass by
    Reach the Ashkenazi Synagogue on the Miljacka riverbank, built in 1902 in a Moorish-revival style. It is Sarajevo's only active synagogue and a reminder of the city's long Jewish heritage.
  10. Bistrik Narrow Gauge Railway Station
    Pass by
    Finish near the Bistrik Railway Station, a 1906 Austro-Hungarian-era station once part of Sarajevo's narrow-gauge line. It marks the end of your self-guided walk through the city's layered history.
