Tours in Sarajevo
The capital of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the most beautiful cities in the Balkans. Bright and colorful, like a gypsy shawl, the city of Sarajevo resembles Israeli Jerusalem, Turkish Istanbul, and Croatian Dubrovnik. Ottoman mosques here side by side with Orthodox churches, and relaxation at the thermal springs can be alternated with skiing in the Dinaric Alps. There is no need to book tours in Sarajevo in advance - the city is not yet very popular with tourists, but every year more and more people are willing to appreciate its charm..
Historical chronicles
The first human settlements appeared here about five thousand years ago during the Neolithic, then various Balkan tribes founded their settlements in the valley. They became the city of Vrhbosna in the middle of the 13th century, when the Slavs finally settled on the banks of the Bosna River. Two hundred years later, the Ottoman plague swept through the Balkans and the Turks conquered Bosnia. After renaming the city Sarajevo, Muslims began to build mosques and preach Islam. Until the 19th century, the city remained Turkish, it was destroyed by wars and earthquakes.
Sarajevo has often appeared in the first lines of world news. It was here in 1914 that Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, as a result of which the First World War began. In 1984, tour participants in Sarajevo could watch the competition during the Winter Olympics, and in the early 90s of the last century, the city, like the rest of Bosnia, was shaken by a terrible civil war for several years..
