What to See and Do in Sarajevo International Airport

To immerse yourself in the history and culture of Sarajevo, choose a hotel in the Old Town.  The east end of this area is called Bascarsija, and it's here that you'll find the most fascinating remnants of Ottoman culture.  Look for the city's iconic wooden fountain (usually surrounded by pigeons) and then turn down the adjacent Coppersmith's Alley to watch artisans hard at work crafting jewelry, tea sets and other souvenirs. Stroll a little bit further and you'll find the Gazi Husrev-Bey Mosque, which is the largest and most important mosque in the country.  The mosque is open to the public for independent visits and guided tours; requirements for men's and women's dress are clearly posted at the entrance.

With a rental car, it is easy to visit some of the city's attractions that are outside the center.  The Trebevic bobsled track was constructed for the 1984 Olympics and later partially destroyed during the Bosnian War.  Today, you can walk or mountain bike the length of the track while taking in stunning views of the city below.  Another option that is outside the city center is the Sarajevo War Tunnel Museum, where visitors can explore the narrow underground tunnel that was used to move people and resources in and out of the city during the 1,425-day Siege of Sarajevo. 

Tips and Advisories for the Sarajevo International Airport

The city of Sarajevo is very safe.  However, there are still unmarked landmines in the forest and countryside around the city.  The Government of Canada encourages travelers to drive on primary roads, walk on paved surfaces and limit visits to rural areas to daylight hours.
