Immerse yourself in the living history of Sarajevo with this free tour that will take you on a journey through centuries of culture, tradition and resistance. From the exact spot where World War I began to the heart of the Ottoman Old Town, this tour gives you an authentic and enriching experience.

You'll walk the cobblestone streets of Baščaršija, explore the bustling Bezistan Market, take in the beauty of the Sacred Heart Cathedral and the majesty of the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, among other sights. Along the way, you will learn how Sarajevo was shaped by Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav influences, and how its inhabitants lived through key historical moments such as the siege of Sarajevo during the war in the 1990s.

One of the most striking sights is the Latin Bridge, where the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand took place in 1914. You will also visit the symbol of the Sarajevan resistance: the Sarajevo Rose, a pavement marker commemorating the victims of the recent conflict.

This tour will not only tell you about the historical facts, but will also immerse you in the daily life, traditions and culture of Sarajevo's inhabitants, from the past to the present.
