Sarajevo
The most underrated city in the Balkans, bar none
Overview
Sarajevo is where East meets West — Ottoman bazaars blend into Austro-Hungarian boulevards, and the most moving history sits beside the best ćevapi you'll ever eat. It's dirt cheap and deeply authentic.
Top Highlights
- Baščaršija Ottoman bazaar — free to explore
- Best ćevapi in the Balkans under $4
- War Tunnel Museum ($5)
- Old Town coffee culture
- Free Yellow Bastion views
