Neighborhoods
Sarajevo, one neighbourhood at a time
Every quarter has its own rhythm. Choose where to spend your day.
Baščaršija
The 15th-century Ottoman bazaar: copper alleys, ćevapi smoke, pigeons around the Sebilj and the call to prayer.
Ferhadija & the Austro-Hungarian centre
Where East meets West on a single paving line — Vienna-style façades, the Cathedral and the city's main promenade.
Bistrik
A steep, quiet mahala across the Miljacka with the old brewery, the cable car station and the best sunset views.
Vratnik
The old walled quarter above the city — fortress gates, the Yellow Bastion and a panorama of red roofs and minarets.
Marijin Dvor
The modern business district: the National Museum, the Holiday hotel, the Parliament and the Twist Tower.
Trebević
Sarajevo's house mountain — a 12-minute cable car ride to pine forests, the graffiti-covered Olympic bobsleigh track and views over the valley.
Ilidža & Vrelo Bosne
A spa town at the western end of the tram line, with a plane-tree avenue leading to the springs of the Bosna river.
Kovači
A hillside mahala above the bazaar with the Martyrs' Memorial Cemetery and grill houses where locals eat.
