 | Sarajevo Shopping | Tips 1 - 10 of 45 |  |
If you are a shopping addict like me (I actually bring an empty bad to take home all of my souvenirs in.) I went crazy in the old town and wanted to bring home everything in sight. Most importantly, I wanted a coffee set. I wanted one the last time I was there, but didn’t have the money or the space to bring it back in. What I would caution, however, is that if you do want to buy something in the old town you should definitely shop around. I found five different prices for the copper coffee set I wanted and had I gone with the first offer I would have paid nearly $50 for one. I ended up paying about $25. Don’t be afraid to try to talk them down either. I have learned that when buying something off the street you should always bargain and never accept the first offer.
You can expect to spend anything from $2 or $3 for a small copper teapot or spoon to over $200 for a Turkish rug. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Zlata (gold) shop with
Sahat-Kula, Sarajevo,
1986 by karenincalifornia
No bargains to be had for gold in Sarajevo. A gram of gold in Sarajevo cost the same as it did in the United States. Needless to say, we did not load up on gold in Sarajevo. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

There are small craft shops all over Bascarsija, I could not possibly write tips about all of them. Thus I have placed 5 pictures here and 8 in a TL.
In addition to the crafts shops you find clothes and food stores, too.
Silver. gold and other metal works, filigran, intarzia, knitted and wowen products. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Bascarsija

 Bezistan by FRONA
If you have been to Istanbul`s bazaar complex, you`ll recognise the spacious Ottoman architecture of this beautifully restored covered market that was built by Gazi Husrev-beg in 1555. There are a lot of arts and crafts as well as gold and silver stores to be found here.
Interesting to know, Gazi Husrev-Beg (1480-1541) was a Bosniak beg in the Ottoman Empire during the first half of the 16th century. He was an effective military strategist, and the greatest donor and builder of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
He was born in Serres, Greece, to a Bosniak father and a Turkish mother, who was the daughter of the Sultan. Thus, Gazi Husrev-Beg was Sultan Beyazid II's grandson. A brilliant strategist and politician, in 1521 he became the governor of the Ottoman province of Bosnia. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Ferhadija by FRONA
From TIMES on Line:
Ferhadija, the city?s pedestrianised main street, has a huge number of pavement caf?s, where chic young Sarajevans drink coffee and eat ice-cream in the afternoon sun and old men gather around a giant communal chess set in the leafy shade of a public square. The city?s nightlife, centred here, is acquiring a Europe-wide reputation. Leave a Comment Theme: Women's Clothes
