A Guide to Ringing in the New Year in Sarajevo

For the past two years, Sarajevo has enchanted the region with its outdoor New Year's Eve celebrations, featuring music stars Dino Merlin and Zdravko Čolić, along with tons of other interesting events. That's why many can hardly wait for this year’s spectacle. We’re sure that, once again this year, Sarajevo will offer some unforgettable moments, and we hope that our recommendations will help you in your search for the best parties in the final days of December.

The most interesting events in Sarajevo from December 13 to 19

The first winter month brings with it tons of fun and cultural events, sports activities and fairs, and here we make our recommendations of the most interesting events taking place from December 13 to 19.

Sarajevo Cable Car (funicular)

Work on the original Trebević cable car, or funicular, as it was called by older Sarajevans, began in 1956 and it was operational by May 3, 1959.

A guide to Sarajevo's most important attractions

That Sarajevo occupies an area that has long been inhabited is testified to by the many remains left by the Butmir Civilization, Illyrians, Romans, the medieval Slavic state.... And, from the very moment when the Ottoman military leader, Isa Bey Ishaković, laid Sarajevo's foundations around 1460, the town continued to grow, absorbing and ultimately reflecting the various influences it has been subjected to over the centuries.

Places with the best view of Sarajevo

Bird’s-eye views of Sarajevo can be had from many higher places surrounding the city, as well from many vantage points right in the city center.
