Sarajevo
Bosnia & Herzegovina
A city where even strangers feel at home.
With its abundance of busy cafes and abiding tradition of hospitality, Sarajevo has a unique charm.
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and 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 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 Tunnel of Hope 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. This mincemeat kebab is the most famous dish in the country.
What we love about Sarajevo

Adriatic Destination Expert & Dubrovnik City Host
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.

Usually overloooked by visitors to the region, Sarajevo is one of my favorite places in Europe. It is a place where all of the complicated history comes into one, and despite all odds, it manages to cherish all of its heritage, customs and cultures. Sarajevo is a big modern capital in lots of ways, but at the same time it has a small town vibe about it where you get the feeling everybody knows everybody. And, above all, the legendary hospitality and warmth - this is a place where people will welcome you sincerely no matter what.

We have not regretted for a moment, we entered the Jay Way world. Within minutes they had sent us an itinerary for our proposed trip and later gave us several selections for accommodations at various levels of comfort. We saved ourselves hours of self inflicted searching, pondering, reserving and unnecessary risk. We were comforted greatly at the transition points, i.e., being met as we arrived at each location, having a city tour to orient us to each city, and then transport to either the train station or by shuttle to our next destination. We recommend Jay Way Travel without any reservation. The time, energy, and effort they saved us was worth every dollar of their fee, which by any accounts was very reasonable.
