Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia & Herzegovina. It's a cosmopolitan European city with an Eastern twist. It sits amongst endless hills and towering mountains, giving one a sense of isolation. The Old Town of Sarajevo is full of cobblestone streets, mosques and oriental-style shops. Sarajevo is a melting pot of diverse cultures. It was here that the Western and Eastern Roman empires split. Few places on earth feature an Orthodox and a Catholic church, a mosque and a synagogue almost next to each other. We recommend a Sarajevo walking tour to get to know the city.
The people of Sarajevo are incredibly friendly and welcoming. People here say that a man's wealth is not measured in his material belongings but rather in his friendships. Memories of the 1990s war and siege are still fresh. You'll see bullet holes throughout Sarajevo. Don't miss the military tunnel museum outside the center. It really captures the city's devastating past. Meat lovers will enjoy Sarajevo. Grilled meat is always on the menu, and no trip to Sarajevo is complete without sampling Cevapcici. It's the most famous dish in the country.
"Our honeymoon was great and JayWay was there to assist us and make the trip stress free. Even when we were late showing up for the kayak excursion (thought it was an hour later), JayWay's local representative called and reminded us of the time, as well as arranged for the kayak operator to wait for us."
"JayWay is the most professional travel company we have ever dealt with. They provided a unique travel experience we could not have achieved on our own. Their in depth knowledge and connections locally gave us access to places and activities we will remember forever."

“Sarajevo is an exceptional city by all means. Four centuries of eastern domination are manifest in numerous graceful monuments throughout Sarajevo. Not to mention local food, here you will try the most delicious cevapcici - calorific rissoles of spiced minced meat are typically served with kajmak, a cream cheese. And even though you will surely not be the only tourists in Sarajevo, it is less crowded than other European capitals. You can wander the streets and most of the people are actually locals. This is one of my favourite cities in former Yugoslavia.”
