  1. To live in Sarajevo is to live on different planes. This collision of the past and present lends the city a hyperreal texture, as if you are walking through a postcard come to life. To visit Sarajevo is to witness both our modern civilization’s greatest sorrows and greatest triumphs.

  2. Sarajevo is an amazing and beautiful city where incredible people live. It's an ancient city where Jews, Muslims and Christians have been living very well together for centuries. It’s an incredible place where everyone wants to go once in their life.
