Sarajevo City Tour


Duration: 2.5 hour(s) - Location: Sarajevo Old Town

Green Visions has this tour tailored to those interested in expanding their knowledge of Sarajevo, and taking a walk through Sarajevo's colourful past. The team of multi-lingual guides accompanying this tour tell tales from the past, and of the history of this fascinating city. English, French, Swedish, German, Dutch, Russian, Greek, Italian and Spanish speaking guides are available. Sarajevo is one of the most oriental and culturally diverse cities in Europe, and had spent over 300 years under Turkish rule until the Austro-Hungarians arrived in the late nineteenth century. The empire collapsed 50 years later when Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated here, hastening the outbreak of the First World War. The late twentieth century saw Sarajevo host the Winter Olympics in 1984, and the long siege of the city during the recent conflict.
