Top 9 Bridges in Sarajevo, Sarajevo Canton
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.

Close to this Latin Bridge on June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sofia were in an open top car as part of a motorcade. Here is where Bosnian Serb Cabrinovic threw a bomb toward the Archduke's car, but it bounced off the car and blew up the car behind him. The car sped off. But that was not the only assassin hanging around the Latin Bridge. Ferdinand went down the street for a rest. When they were leaving, no one told the driver to take a different route and thus gave the assassins another chance. When the Archduke and his wife came around a second time, Bosnian Serb Gavrilo Princip shot and killed both the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Throne Franz Ferdinand and his wife. On July 28th Emperor Fraz Joseph officially signed a document declaring war on Serbia. This was the launching pad for the start of World War 1. The war that killed 20 million people, and ended the Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. Across the street from here is the Sarajevo Museum where you can learn more about this incident.

Cute little bridge in the very center of the city, connecting the two banks of the river Miljacka. A really nice place to visit and cross over.
