Things to do in Sarajevo, Sarajevo Canton: The Best Cultural Tours
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.

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 ????

In these nostalgic days for traveling, I sit on the couch and thinking how nice it was to be able to travel. And so it occurred to me last year and a visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina, more precisely only to Herzegovina and its beauties. So I had to write a few words for this beautiful country and its natural beauties. The tour of Mostar left the most beautiful impression on me, the Old Bridge and the old part of the city are beautiful. Then a visit to Jablanica and the bridge that was destroyed in the war. So this country also has a rich history. And finally, I must mention the wonderful guides who took us to every corner of these cities and told us about history, even gave us free time to buy souvenirs. 10/10 for guides! p.s. Be sure to try Bosnian coffee and Turkish delight.
