10 Reasons to Visit Sarajevo

When to Visit

May

May

May in Sarajevo is beautiful. The nature is dressed up in its glorious spring clothing, so if you are arriving in May you should find the time for a visit to some of the city's surrounding picnic areas. For a shorter nature visit, we recommend Brus on Mount Trebević, and if you want to spend an entire day in the nature, a visit to Bjelašnica's mountain villages is a must. More

  2. Objectively, Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, and nothing in Sarajevo can be compared to Paris, but my heart never trembles in Paris like it does here in Sarajevo, when I wait in line at the post office.

    Goran Bregović, musician and composer
