Sarajevo’s Old Town that takes you back to 15th century. Unique experience of seeing how life looked like centuries ago. Almost the same streets, shops, offer. Only people have changed, but this part of the city remained unchanged. Should you be interested in seeing the past, don’t miss it!



- Sarajevo Town Hall

Locals would become very emotional about it, and call it Vijecnica. During recent war, it was totally destroyed. Thousands of the books went on fire during its hardest war days. Recently rebuilt and opened, this magnificent architecture structure speaks of great Austro-Hungarian culture and presence in Sarajevo. Originally built in 1898, it is worth visiting and witness true piece of art.
