Sarajevo is a city that has had a turbulent past and in a little more than a century it was part of eight different states: the Ottoman Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire; the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs; the Kingdom of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs; the Independent State of Croatia, the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and an independent Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The nature in and around Sarajevo is gorgeous and there are many attractive locations that are ideal for outdoor activities just a ten to forty minute-drive from the center of town.
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.
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.
Whether you prefer the relaxing atmosphere of a cafe during the day, or would like to have an evening out by taking in a live concert, going to a party or getting exhausted as you dance until dawn, you are sure to find something in Sarajevo to suit your taste.
