Ramadan in Sarajevo has a special charm. Sarajevans are usually waiting around a table filled with delicious dishes at the time of akšam (sunset), when there is the firing of the cannon from Žuta Tabija, the minarets of mosques are lit and the sound of ezan can be heard.
Every year, the holy Islamic month of Ramadan lends a special atmosphere to Sarajevo, and many restaurants prepare special menus during this time for those who are fasting, as well as for everyone else who would like to enjoy a traditional iftar spread and feel the spirit of Ramadan.
We've selected from among the tons of interesting and diverse events happening these days in Sarajevo to highlight the best ones that will be taking place from May 23 to 29.
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.
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.
Anytime is a good time for romantic moments and to give a present to a loved one, especially if you are visiting a city that is so full of love, like Sarajevo.
