Sarajevo stands at the true meeting point of East and West, where Ottoman influence gives way to Austro-Hungarian grandeur. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll journey through the capital’s most difficult chapter to discover how it’s transformed tragedy into a testament of human perseverance. You’ll start at the Meeting of Cultures, a brass line marking the city’s cultural divide. You’ll walk past the Latin Bridge where a wrong turn changed world history, and through the cobblestone streets of Baščaršija. As you walk, you’ll hear poignant stories of survival during the longest siege in modern history. We won’t shy away from difficult conversations about ‘ethnic cleansing’, the complex and painful debates around the term genocide, and the daily work of healing among neighbours who once found themselves on opposite sides. The tour ends at the Yellow Fortress, where panoramic views reveal how the city’s diverse architectural influences blend into a uniquely Sarajevan landscape.
