Reflect on War History

As a tourist, learning about the history of the place you visit for the first time is a must. Tunnel Museum takes you to an informative Sarajevo history as it provides details and information to Sarajevo during the war. Despite documenting the disheartening cruelty of the Sarajevo War, it gives an insightful grasp to appreciate the resilience of the Bosniak. Aside from the museums, bullet holes can be seen in almost every building. A sad sight to see but an important one in understanding the war that occurred not so long ago.

Fascinating Local Food

If you’re a big meat-eater, you’ll love Bosnian’s cuisine. Much of their culinary traditions revolve around meat, especially meat and mutton. On your visit, give čevapi a try. Arguably the most popular Bosnian dish, it’s basically minced beef shaped into sausages served with pita bread, raw onions and sour cream.

And the good news is the food here is cheap! The roasted lamb I had in Jablanica on my way to Mostar was definitely the best roasted lamb I’ve ever tasted! I would travel to Bosnia just to eat their roasted lamb again!

Lovely people

Whether you’re well-travelled or not, you might be surprised by how warm and hospitable Bosnians actually are. If you’re feeling a bit lost and need some help with directions, the locals will be more than happy to help. Shopkeepers, as well as restaurants’ and cafes’ staff, can be very welcoming and cheery, too.
