Sarajevo
The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is nestled in a valley surrounded by the Dinaric Alps. Sarajevo is a unique melting pot where Ottoman mosques and Habsburg-era train stations, synagogues and Orthodox churches stand side by side, reflecting the city's extraordinarily diverse heritage. The lively Baščaršija bazaar exudes an oriental flair with handcrafted copperware, strong coffee and the world-famous ćevapi – a culinary must. The Tunnel of Hope from the Bosnian War and the memorials serve as a powerful reminder of recent history, while the surrounding mountains offer superb hiking.
