Day 1

Sarajevo Arrival
Upon your arrival in Sarajevo, you will be welcome by your guide. They will take you on unique Sarajevo sightseeing tour and present you Sarajevo in the most delicious kind of way.
Experience: Sarajevo Gourmet & Sightseeing Tour

While you walk, you will learn about the most important sights and events from this remarkable city’s history. In addition, your guide will make sure to take you to the most interesting gourmet locations. You will stop at a number of different food spots, each having expertise in a unique traditional specialty, specific to their locale. You will have a chance to taste: authentic meat pie known as ‘burek’, the most famous Sarajevo specialty ‘ćevapi’ in homemade bread with ‘kajmak’, and the most gorgeous looking and tasting sweet called ‘tufahija’, made out of cooked apples, sweet sorbet, almonds and walnuts and finished with whip cream on top. You will also enjoy domestic coffee and ‘rakija’, and a slightly forgotten refreshing drink called ‘boza’ that the older generations love and enjoy.

The sightseeing tour of the city will clearly distinguish two main influences in the history of Sarajevo – Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman. We will take you to all the main sights including: Vijećnica or Sarajevo City Hall, Baščaršija – the historical and cultural centre with authentic shops and souqs from the Ottoman era, the Orthodox Church from the 16th century, the Gazi Husrev-bey mosque, the Sahat Tower from the 17th century, and the first public toilet in Europe. You will not miss the Latin Bridge where Gavrilo Princip shot the successor to the Austro-Hungarian throne, consequently starting the First World War. After crossing the bridge, you will reach Bezistan, a market complex from the 16th century, and then you will continue onto the main pedestrian zone Ferhadiya with the Sarajevo Synagogue dating from 1580 and a Catholic cathedral built in 1881.

After hotel check in, take some time to rest and refresh and get ready for dinner. Enjoy traditional recipes at one of the most popular restaurants in Sarajevo. Overnight.

Experience: Trebević Cable Car

Cable Car – what a great way to explore the surroundings of the capital! In 9 minutes you will be taken from the heart of the city all the way up, to 1.160 m above the sea level. The glass walls of the gondolas, five of which are coloured in the Olympic colours, will let you enjoy the beauty of the city, the Olympic Bobsleigh and the Luge Track while rising. Once you step out at the top, an incredible view of the Bosnian capital surrounded by the beautiful mountains around it reveals before your eyes. The nature is also boundlessly fascinating.

Trebević is the location where the locals love to escape just to relax and enjoy fresh air. You will take a leisure walk through the serene greenery of the mountain Trebević and visit the best and biggest adrenalin park in the region to experience alpine roller-coaster, free-climbing, zip-lining or even mountain biking.
