5 Reviews The Academy of Arts is situated in the building of the former Evangelical Church.

Visit the Latin Bridge aka Latinska ćuprija
gordonilla Says: Sadly, we reached the bridge well after dark; so we did not see it in it's full glory of daylight. It is an Ottoman bridge, and the term Latin comes as it crosses the river Mljacka into a catholic area of the old city.It is also famous for being the location of the...

Chipas: Chipas restaurant cheated the change.
WonderingTourist Says: My recent trip to Sarajevo was overall good. Most restaurant and shops are nice and some problem with the taxi fares. I went to Chipas restaurant next to the Cathedral with my friend few days ago. The taste was good for the price. The most prices are about 3.50 to 6.50 BAM....

Restoran Kibe: Traditional and what a view!
gordonilla Says: The restaurant is high up in the old city; and has some excellent views, sadly we visited when it was dark. So the views were impressive with the lights in the distance. The restaurant is open between 11.00 - 23.00 and is closed on Sunday.There was live music performed, and...
jetsetwes Says: This place is fun, packed, cheap, and hosts some great Bosnian rock bands.In attempts to find Sloga a friend and I finally found this place the 4th time. The easiest way to get there is to get a cab and say Sloga. We made the error in trying to walk to this place. It's on a...

Sarajevo International Airport
gordonilla Says: This is the main point of entry to Bosnia, I think, and although it is a small airport it was very busy. It seems to be a real focus for much international traffic.It should be noted that the further west in Europe your point of origin the more indirect you have to travel....
Slastičarna Sarajbosna: Great baklava and other sweets to bring home
brandi05 Says: Sarajbosna is one of the many fine slastičarne in Sarajevo. I don't know whether their baklava is "the best", but it's certainly excellent. What's more, the people there know how to wrap it tightly so that your box of baklava has a good chance of surviving a plane...
gordonilla Says: I am a great fan of graffiti - and everywhere I visit I try and capture some of the local styles. I was given a wide array of graffiti to photograph in Sarajevo. it was reasonably good and was on all the appropriate locations and walls. There did not appear to be any...
TheWanderingCamel Says: Khava, coffee - is more than just a drink in Bosnia and Hercegovina - it's a way of life! There's no time of day or night that's not the right time for coffee, and if you can share it with someone else - so much the better. And for traditionalists, that means strong, black...
