🫶🏻 Sarajevo, I’m in love! Your warm spirit, rich history, and beautiful mix of cultures have truly captured my 💓. From the lively charm of Baščaršija to the quiet reverence of your memorials, every corner tells a story that draws me in and leaves a lasting emotional connection. 🧐 Why Sarajevo? Sarajevo is undoubtedly one of the most captivating cities in the world—beautiful, walkable, and full of character. Nestled among majestic mountains, it buzzes with cozy cafes, lively streets, and a charm that blends nostalgia with a sense of hope. What truly makes it unforgettable, though, are the people—Bosnians are genuinely some of the warmest and most welcoming I’ve encountered in all my Balkan travels. 📌Essentials 📱 Get an e-SIM that covers the Balkan region 🗺️ Google Maps works perfectly for navigation. 💳 An international bank card is all you need—I didn’t have to exchange any money during my 3-day stay. 🚃 Trams are affordable—you pay a single fare to the driver and can ride as long as you like, as long as you don’t get off before your destination. 🛬 How to get here: ✈️ By Air – Flying is the fastest option, with Sarajevo well-connected to major cities across Europe and the Balkans. 🚌 By Bus – Direct buses run from nearby cities like Dubrovnik, Zagreb (Croatia), and Belgrade (Serbia), making it an easy and budget-friendly option—just keep in mind that it may take a bit longer. 🚘 By Car – Driving offers flexibility and scenic views, but be prepared for possible challenges at border crossings, especially if you're unfamiliar with the local languages like Bosnian or Serbo-Croatian. 🏨 Where to Stay: 🏙️ For a short stay – Choose a hotel in the city center, close to Sarajevo’s iconic spots like Baščaršija and the Miljacka River, for easy access to the heart of the action. 🏡 For a longer stay – Airbnb offers a wide range of apartments to suit any budget, giving you a more local and comfortable experience. 🗓️ Best time to visit: According to the locals, ☀️ Late Spring (May–Jun) and 🍂 Early Autumn (Sep–Oct) are ideal times to experience Sarajevo’s beauty, with mild weather and fewer crowds. We visited in late April—it was stunning, but quite windy. The cable car was shut due to strong gusts, and our flights in and out of Sarajevo were affected by the wind as well. 🤩 Must see 🆓 attractions on foot 0️⃣1️⃣ Baščaršija 0️⃣2️⃣ Sebilj 0️⃣3️⃣ Baščaršija Mosque 0️⃣4️⃣ Sarajevo City Hall 0️⃣5️⃣ Šeher-ćehaja Bridge 0️⃣6️⃣ Vijećnica 0️⃣7️⃣ Sarajevska žičara (the cable car ride is not free 15KM for one way or 20KM for a return, children under 7 are free) 0️⃣8️⃣ Emperor's Mosque 0️⃣9️⃣ Latin Bridge or Latinska Ćuprija 1️⃣0️⃣ Music Pavilion - At Mejdan 1️⃣1️⃣ Ćumurija most 1️⃣2️⃣ Orthodox Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos 1️⃣3️⃣ Sacred Heart Cathedral 1️⃣4️⃣ Pijaca Markale food market 1️⃣5️⃣ Ferhadija Street #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #familytravel #myitinerary #citydaytours
