Sarajevo is arguably best known as the place where World War 1 started. A plaque marks the spot.

Really easy to find & get around. Not after you, not aggressive.

I live in Sarajevo. During a short period while I lived elsewhere I was dreaming of walking through these streets. It has special life of its own, detached from the rest of the city. It is really special...so many different scents and as if walked in to the past.

The old town is absolutely beautiful, interesting and like nothing I've experience before. The atmosphere is indescribable. The mosque at the centre of the town is wonderful to see and observe the prayers. The small streets are exciting and lead you to a number of lovely restaurants, shops and handicrafts.
