Bosnia and Herzegovina
Sarajevo
Sarajevo is where East meets West — Ottoman bazaars, Habsburg streets, and a city that survives everything.
Sarajevo is a city where minarets and church towers share the skyline — an Ottoman old town of copper artisans, Habsburg boulevards, and a siege in living memory. Eat ćevapi, walk the Latin Bridge where WWI began, and take the cable car up Trebević. One of Europe's most moving and underrated cities.
