Things to do in Sarajevo, Sarajevo Canton: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

After reading alot about the Seige in Sarajevo I really wanted to visit this place and I certainly wasn't disappointed. From the second you arrive walking past the original house with bullet holes and continue inside to watch the documentaries and then see the tunnel itself is incredible. The entrance fee is 10BAM and we'll worth it. There is lots to see and learn here. It is quite small compared to other places, but it gives you a real sense of the struggle that the Sarajevo locals faced during the siege.

Avaz Twist Tower features high-speed panoramic elevators, which climb to the top of 36th floor, that offers an outside observatory from where you can see the whole Sarajevo. The tower is open from 7am - 11pm every day.

Cheap, stunning views. Bring your mobile. Then enjoy coffee and a snack before heading back. Only big surprise is that the tower seems rather disconnected from the heart of the city.

Not only for the Olympics but also during the war the track played a significant role, so walking it down with the beautiful trees that surround the area makes it very nice. And yes at the very top before you enter the path you can have a beautiful view of the city.

This is the main pedestrian street for tourist. Just by walking along this street, one can visit many famous tourist attractions such as mosque, church, museum, shops and the iconic line which separates the East ( influence left by the Ottoman Empire) and West (influence left by the Austro-Hungarian Empire).

The hike was uphill and a little difficult for me as I am not used to uphill climbs being from North Carolina but it was worth it! The view from the top is beautiful! I visited twice during my time in Sarajevo and took a bunch of great photos. The area at the top is open and suitable for picnics etc.

This somber but lovely memorial and surrounding park must be visited and contemplated by any visitor to Sarajevo who intends to go away with any kind of basic understanding of the suffering and pain of the Siege of Sarajevo and the impact that this has had on the city, nation and the world.
