Discover the grand City Hall and the legendary Spite House (Inat kuća). Across the street, learn about the Mayor’s Bridge (Šeher-ćehaja) through the "Legend of the Diamond" and the funny tale of the "Blindfolded Servant.
Emperor's Bridge & Isa Bey's Hamam Walk across the Emperor's Bridge to the city's oldest Hamam (Turkish bath).

5.00We just completed a 2 1/2 hour walking tour with Malik and it was fantastic! Sarajevo has a rich, diverse and complex history which Malik built up layer by layer as he walked us through time during our tour through Old Town Sarajevo. He is clearly passionate about his job and very knowledgeable which made him an enthusiastic and informative guide. We ended the tour with a much better understanding of both Sarajevo and Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as a long list of things we wanted to see with the rest of our time here. Five stars!
This tour is definitely worth doing.

The tour didn't feel rushed or like we were being bombarded with too much info. Malik easily flowed from one piece of history to another as we strolled around this beautiful city. I highly recommend this tour.
