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
