• Bijela Tabija - White Fortress (Bijela tabija), Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Begin your adventure with a visit to one of Sarajevo’s most picturesque viewpoints. The White Fortress, constructed in the 16th century, provides a stunning panoramic view of the entire city. Here, the guide will narrate the story of Sarajevo’s strategic significance throughout history — from the Ottoman era to the Siege of Sarajevo.

• Zetra Olympic Hall, Sarajevo - Explore the neighborhood where the local guide resided during the war. This area, situated near the former maternity hospital that suffered heavy bombing, experienced some of the most challenging days of the Siege of Sarajevo. Here, you will hear a deeply personal account — about childhood under siege, daily survival, and life amidst constant shelling.
  This stop includes a visit to the place where the guide’s father was laid to rest, as well as the very street where he grew up and played during the war.
• Sniper Alley - Travel along one of Sarajevo’s most notorious streets during the war — known as Sniper Alley. This main city avenue was under relentless sniper fire, making every crossing a life-or-death situation. The guide will share compelling stories of how residents risked their lives daily just to obtain water, food, or reach safety.
  Standing here today, surrounded by modern buildings, it’s difficult to imagine that this same road once symbolized fear, resilience, and survival.
• Tunnel of Hope - Discover one of the most significant historical sites of the Bosnian War — the Tunnel of Salvation. Secretly dug beneath the airport runway in 1993, this narrow underground passage connected the besieged city of Sarajevo with the outside world.
  It served as a lifeline for food, medicine, and hope, enabling thousands of people to survive. During your visit, you’ll walk through a section of the original tunnel, view authentic wartime artifacts, and watch a short documentary about the Siege.
• Lukavica - The tour concludes with a drive through Lukavica — once part of the front line during the Siege of Sarajevo, now belonging to Republika Srpska. Here, you will learn about the post-war division of Bosnia and Herzegovina into two entities: the Federation of BiH and Republika Srpska.
  The guide will highlight the former front lines, explain how the Dayton Peace Agreement reshaped the city, and show graffiti and murals that honor wartime figures such as Ratko Mladić — offering a stark reminder of how memories of the war remain politically divided even today.
  This part of the tour encourages reflection on reconciliation, identity, and the long journey to peace in post-war Bosnia.
• Sarajevo City Hall - Visit one of the city’s most iconic landmarks — Sarajevo City Hall, originally built in 1896 during the Austro-Hungarian period. Once the seat of the National Library, it was completely destroyed in August 1992 when Serbian forces shelled it, burning almost two million books and manuscripts.
  Today, beautifully restored, Vijećnica stands as a powerful symbol of both destruction and rebirth. The guide will share stories about its tragic past and what it signifies for Sarajevo’s cultural identity today.
