Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the most underrated countries of the Balkan region, but it has a lot to offer to passionate travelers. Most people start their journey through this country from its capital of Sarajevo, and here are some of its most popular tourist attractions.
Baščaršija
Located in the very heart of Sarajevo’s old town, Baščaršija is the city’s most significant historic market, which dates all the way back to the 15th century.
Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque
Like many of the city’s top landmarks, the largest historical mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina is located near Baščaršija, and it’s an important example of Ottoman architecture.
Sacred Heart Cathedral
Sarajevo is mostly dominated by Ottoman architecture, but there are exceptions to this rule. Sacred Heart Cathedral is one of the city’s most significant religious buildings in the gothic style.
Latin Bridge
This Ottoman bridge over the Miljacka river is best known for being the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand—a historical event that triggered the start of World War I.
Sarajevo Tunnel
Built during the 90s, in the midst of the Bosnian War, Sarajevo Tunnel is now the site of a tiny military-history museum.
