To many graveyards
by vesna04
While walking around, it is impossible not to notice the graveyards. They are everywhere . Some cemeteries were quite large, but most of them were very small, with just a few graves placed next to mosques or people’s homes. The dates were mostly 1992 and 1993, which told me that most of these people were killed in the last war.
Former "Sniper Alley"
by HORSCHECK
The wide multilane boulevard which connects the historic old town (Bascarsija) in the east with the newer residential and industrial districts of Sarajevo in the west was known as "Sniper Alley" (Snajperska aleja) during the 1990's war.
The boulevard is lined with mainy high rise buildings which were perfect for sniper posts, so it was said that especially this street was dangerous to cross.
I just assume that it was probably also dangerous to cross any other street in Sarajevo during that time.
sweets and ice cream
by picek
Sweetshops in Sarajevo, Bascarsija are abundant with sweet stuff - cakes, halvas, ice cream, biscuit etc.
You may actually find it impossible to try it all, they are really many kinds and many names. It is however nice to sit down by the street, having Bosnian coffee with nice cake while chatting to your acquaintance, or trying real good ice cream - whatever please your sweet tooth :)
Picture here was from Dallas sweetshop (American names still popular nowsadays), which is at Bascarsija where Ferhadija street begins.

by Dirim
Grbavica is the Stadium of Zeljeznicari which is the team established by Railway workers in 1921. This locomotive located in Grbavica Stadion is the unique character of the stadium.
The banner of Zeljo fans using this symbol is also of importance (see 2nd photo)

The district of Dobrinja is a new one Sarajevo. Being attacked by para-military units of Serbian Democratic Party by cannons, and tanks in the beginning of war, Dobrinja faced a very bloody warfare.
After the Dayton Agreement Dobrinja was cut from Sarajevo and annexed to RS (Republika Srpska)
