  • Within the City Museum of Sarajevo is the Museum of Jews of Bosnia and Herzegovina, situated in the oldest synagogue in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
  • ''Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures” is the message on Ferhadija St., near Gazi Husrev Bey’s Bezistan. This is the spot where two dominant cultures, that once shaped Sarajevo, merge.
  • Built in the 16th century it is the largest historical mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the most representative Ottoman structures in the Balkans.
  • The Sebilj is an Ottoman-style wooden fountain in the centre of Baščaršija Square in Sarajevo built by Mehmed Pasha Kukavica in 1753.
  • Coppersmith street. Enjoy the authentic look of the street that has been retained for centuries. The coppersmith craft still lives in this street.
  • Sarajevo City Hall also known as Vijećnica is the most extravagant building constructed in Sarajevo during Austro-Hungarian occupation and serves as a symbol of the meeting of world civilizations.
  • Popular bridge with Spite House near. Out of stubbornness of the owner, the house became known as the Spite House. Today, it is a popular national restaurant, and a protected cultural and historical heritage site.
  • The Emperor’s Mosque is Sarajevo’s oldest mosque and one of the oldest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is presumed that Isa Bey Ishaković, the founder of Sarajevo, had this place of worship built soon after the city’s founding in 1462 in honor of Sultan Mehmed II “the Conqueror”.
  • Also known as Principov Most is a place where Gavrilo Princip, who was only a few meters away from this bridge, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sofie. This incident, known as the Sarajevo Assassination, led to the beginning of the First World War.
  • Gazi Husrev-beg's bezistan (covered bazaar) is one of the preserved bezistan in Sarajevo from the Ottoman period. Built in 1555 in Baščaršija, bezistan still serves its purpose - trade.
  • Taslihan was built in 1543 as the Ghazi Husrev-Bey’s waqf. It had a fountain, mosque, yard, shops and storage rooms. It was severely damaged in several fires that struck Sarajevo.
  • Hotel positioned in the heart of the Sarajevo city, just a few steps away from the tourist Old Town core, this Austro-Hungarian building with its external splendour alone will have you captivated.
  • The Cathedral Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos is the largest Serbian Orthodox church in Sarajevo and one of the largest in the Balkans.
  • TMonument to the ''Multiethnic human" celebrating multiethnicity is positioned in the center between three major religious symbols - Catholic cathedral, Muslim mosque and the Christian Orthodox church - just few steps away of each.
