10 Historical & Heritage Tours in Sarajevo That You Shouldn't Miss

April 27, 2022 Joeann Galban

Bosnia and Herzegovina's fascinating capital Sarajevo nestles among dramatic peaks, a bustling and welcoming city. War took its toll, with the 1992-1996 siege hitting hard. But the lively, diverse, museum-rich city has been almost entirely reconstructed. Don't miss Bijambare caves, set in thick forests and amid lakes to the north of the city, or Bosna Springs, from which the country takes its name. Site of 1984's Winter Olympics, Sarajevo offers spectacular skiing on Mount Bjelasnica Jahorina.

On our honeymoon, my wife and I joined Nikola’s Siege of Sarajevo/War Tunnel tour. It affected us so much that we came back for a second tour that afternoon, for Nikola's street art tour. A year later, I’m still asking the questions that Nikola and Sarajevo lit up in my mind. What is nationalism? What is the state? What is self-determination? What will it take to achieve a truly free society? I’d asked these questions before, but Sarajevo helped me see new colors. I don’t know if any other tour guide could have held these themes up to the light in the same way that Nikola did for me. It felt like every piece of history was personal to him, like he was unraveling a mystery--and I sensed that somehow I was involved in the mystery too, and that solving it would involve uncovering things that I had been searching for without realizing. That still feels true to me now that I’m back home. That’s why I keep thinking about Sarajevo and Nikola.

Some of them used the Tunnel of Hope to escape the siege, some of them were refugess in their own city during '92-'95. The Tunnel of Hope nowadays is the most touristic place of Sarajevo, where you need to get presentation from staff that experienced it 20+ years ago.

After spending 2 days at Sarajevo by myself I felt I need to see more of this beautiful country. Luckily I met someone who recommended this tour. I firstly booked a half day tour to Trebević mountain and to the tunnel of hope, the tour was great so I decided to to book a full day tour where we visited 5 cities in Bosnia. I totally recommend this tour, the agents are very professional and friendly everything went exactly as planned. Ask for Mak.. he's great ????

Travnik and Jajce are two cities who are pretty unknown for most of the people in the world but for the locals a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the period of Ottoman and Medieval time. Both of the cities are having a typical Bosnian charisma. Cities in the middle of the hills and mountains with vivid life, nice people and lovely scenery. In our tour, you will visit both of them and we will explain to you the stories connected with both cities and show you the sights which are quite beautiful and unique to see.
