Sarajevo Free Walking Tour: Old Town, History & Local Stories

The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in English

Description

Discover Sarajevo on a free walking tour through the heart of one of Europe’s most fascinating cities.

Walk through Baščaršija and Sarajevo’s Old Town with a local guide and discover a city where East meets West, where Ottoman bazaars stand just steps away from Austro-Hungarian architecture, and where different cultures and religions have shaped everyday life for centuries.

Along the way, explore Sarajevo’s must-see landmarks, including Sebilj, Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque, City Hall, the Latin Bridge and the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand – the event that sparked World War I.

But this tour is about much more than dates and monuments. Hear local stories, traditions, legends and surprising details, discover hidden corners of the city, and understand what makes Sarajevo unlike anywhere else in Europe.

From the Ottoman Empire and Austro-Hungarian rule to Yugoslavia and modern-day Sarajevo, we’ll bring the city’s history to life in an informative, relaxed and entertaining way.

If it’s your first time in Sarajevo, this is the perfect introduction to the city. Come walk with us and discover Sarajevo like a local!
