Tours Sarajevo: Culture, History and City Life
Sarajevo sits at the crossroads of East and West, offering travellers a rich tapestry of cultural and historical experiences. Sarajevo city tours typically begin in the Old Town, where cobbled streets lead you past Ottoman mosques, Austro-Hungarian facades and the lively Baščaršija bazaar. Along the way you’ll learn about the city’s layered past, from medieval sultans to the 20th-century siege, then pause to savour Bosnian coffee in one of the traditional cafés.
Beyond the centre, tours from Sarajevo branch out to iconic sites such as the Tunnel of Hope, a lifeline during wartime, the haunting Winter Olympic slopes of Bjelašnica and Jahorina, and day trips from Sarajevo that take you to emerald lakes, ancient fortresses and the waterfalls of Pliva. Whether you choose a guided walking tour or a deeper war history tour, each route reveals another facet of Sarajevo’s resilience and warmth.
For those craving adventure, Sarajevo tours include cable-car rides up Mount Trebević, panoramic hikes to remote villages like Lukomir, and even culinary walking routes that highlight cevapi, burek and homemade rakija. If you’re looking to venture further, day tours from Sarajevo to Mostar introduce you to the iconic Stari Most bridge and the Dervish monastery at Blagaj.
