During a visit to Sarajevo, a visit to the Turkish quarter of Bascarsija is highly recommended. The Great Mosque of the Emperor is impressive, and right next to it, there is a small cemetery with the tombs of viziers, mullahs, sheiks and many employees of this religious place.
On another note, a little further on, Galerija 11/07/95 is a memorial that was created after the Srebrenica genocide. Here, documentary images and the names of the victims are displayed. This little-known place aims to make people who visit it remember this massacre and raise awareness. For those who want to continue to discover the history of Sarajevo, the Museum of the Childhood of the War is an excellent spot to find various forms of memories of the war in Bosnia. Diaries, photographs, toys, letters, video testimonies, and audio are available in the museum.
The Latin Bridge is also a valid symbol of Sarajevo. Indeed, it is the oldest in the capital and is remarkable because of its architecture. The bridge was built of stone and plaster. It also has four arches and three solid pillars. The story around this place is that the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered the start of the First World War.
On a completely different note, not far from the Latin Bridge, the Sarajevsko Brewery is a majestic red building in Austro-Hungarian style. It allows travelers to learn more about the brewery's history through the museum and the guided tour. But that's not all, because it is also possible to taste this famous drink prepared by the house and to eat surprising culinary specialties.
The Pijaca Markale Market is the perfect meeting place for locals and tourists. It is trendy for the small finds that can be made there. Of course, fruits, vegetables, flowers, clothes, sweets and other souvenirs are available.
