Sarajevo

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina's capital and largest city, is known as the "Jerusalem of Europe." The city began as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century and has since evolved into a contemporary center for entertainment, fashion, and the arts.

Sarajevo is known for its diverse, religious, historical, and winter activities. It was founded in the 1450s during the Ottoman Empire. Some of the major tourist locations are the Roman Bridge, Sarajevo Cathedral, and Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque.

The city's districts still have memorials to the dead and slain from the violent battles of the 1990s, but there's a renewed confidence and flair running through the central streets, one that reflects a true rejection of war's injustices.

Travel to Sarajevo to see amazing historical buildings, quirky cafés, and jazz performances. Sarajevo has it everything, from coffee shops to historic buildings and attractions, from Bosmal City Center to Vrelo Bosne Park.
