Ferhadija Pedestrian Street - Your guide will meet you at the cathedral in the heart of Sarajevo, where you’ll begin learning fascinating facts about this city, often called the “Jerusalem of the Balkans.” This area represents the Austro-Hungarian part of Sarajevo, but as you venture into the mahalas, the old Ottoman neighborhoods, you’ll see a different side of the city. These neighborhoods, once the smallest administrative units, still shape Sarajevo’s landscape and are rich with stories.

Mejtaš - The first mahala you’ll explore is Mejtaš, the historic Jewish quarter. Here, your guide will share insights into the Jewish community’s influence on Sarajevo’s culture and history.

Vrbanjuša - In the mahalas, remnants of Ottoman culture and history abound, such as the old dervish monastery in Vrbanjuša. Your guide will narrate tales of multiculturalism, diversity, and the harmonious coexistence of various religions and ethnic groups in Sarajevo.

Grdonj - As you ascend, the surroundings become more rural, with locals cultivating herbs and vegetables in their gardens within informal settlements. You’ll explore this part of the city and take a break at a stunning viewpoint to learn about the 20th-century siege.

Vidikovac Špicasta stijena - This place has a somber history, as it includes the trenches used by Serbs, but it offers one of the most breathtaking views of Sarajevo. Here, you can appreciate how the city has revived its spirit after a tumultuous past.

Bašča kod Ene - The hike concludes at Mahala Sedrenik with an optional traditional Bosnian lunch and rakija tasting.
