What you'll see
Sarajevo – capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina and a place where East meets the West. The tour starts in Mostar, with a coffee break in Konjic. It is certainly one of the best places for a break, as river Neretva flows beneath the many arches of Konjic's Old Bridge in old commercial district of the town. Our guests have full day to explore Sarajevo. We certainly recommend famous commercial district of Baščaršija with numerous shops, coffee shops and restaurants. Guests can also visit Latinska ćuprija, small bridge where the roots of the First World War are traced; it is the site of assassination of Franz Ferdinand in 1914. Pleasant stroll through Ferhadija promenade is a must before our trip back to Mostar starts.
