Half-Day Grbavica Food Tour in a Small Group
Overview

Mobile ticket
This culinary tour takes you out of touristy Sarajevo, to where the locals live, work and spend their time - and of course we will stop at numerous typical Bosnian restaurants where we will taste local delicacies.
Probably no other neighborhood in Sarajevo has such a turbulent history as Grbavica, which was not only shelled but also occupied by enemy troops during the siege of the city. Very slowly the inhabitants rebuilt their Grbavica after 1996 - now it is a lively district with many restaurants and cafes and a small green oasis in the midst of socialist architecture.

You start your tour at Sarajevo City Center and walk past the Parliament to your first tasting destination!
After the first stop, you continue walking past the Jordanian Mosque, which impressively shows how Grbavica has developed in the last 30 years since the end of the Bosnian War.

5.00We took an afternoon food tour with Nermin. We looped around the district of Grbavica and tried many different local dishes, snacks, deserts & drinks. Nermin made history come to life in the still bullet-holed residential area, guiding us through the darkest to the happiest days of this beautyful part of the city, making it immersive with fotos & videos of past times. We had a great time, lots of laughs and Nermin accommodated well for my mother-in-law who had trouble keeping up due to arthritis. Big big recommendation for Nermin & Kathrins tour company and this tour especially for foodies and history buffs. Loved it!

5.00What a fantastic experience! Numa showed us parts of the city that tourists surely don’t visit. We tried some excellent home-cooked food, learned a lot about recent history, and visited the local football club stadium that had so much history to tell, had some great burek, Bosnian craft beer and some dessert that I’ve never seen before. It was some cooked apple with walnut cream inside and whipped cream on top! Amazing! I would definitely recommend this tour!
Thank you

5.00Sarajevo is so much more than the old town! My personal highlight was that we got inside the stadium of FK Željezničar and even on the pitch! I learned a lot about their history! Also, I loved it in the “ascinica”! Hearty home-cooked food at it’s best!
Great local foodie tour
