Overview

Over three to four hours, you will visit the Jewish Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the grand Ashkenazi Synagogue, the Kal Grande — the Great Sephardic Synagogue — and the historic Jewish Cemetery on the hillside above the city. Where possible, the tour includes a viewing of the Sarajevo Haggadah, one of the oldest and most traveled Jewish manuscripts in the world — a book that survived the Inquisition, World War II, and the siege of Sarajevo itself.
