About

The capital city of Bosnia & Herzegovina, Sarajevo is located on the Miljacka River in a valley that the Dinaric Alps surround. The city is relatively easy for tourists to navigate given its popularity and the importance of the tourist industry there. The area has long been inhabited, but the city itself was established by the Ottomans in the 15th century. Today, it is a place where Western and Eastern cultures mix peacefully. The Old Town is a fascinating example of this mix with mosques alongside churches and synagogues. You can visit the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina to learn more about the history and culture of the area. There are a number of popular viewing spots throughout the city, such as the Vidikovac lookout, where you can get a beautiful view of the city. Sarajevo also has many urban parks.
