Itinerary
There used to be hundreds of sebiljs (kiosk-shaped public fountains) in Sarajevo, but today the last one is found on Baščaršija Square, where it serves as a major symbol of the city. The location around Sebilj is also called "Pigeon Square" which serves as an amazing photo spot.
Kazandžiluk is one of Sarajevo’s oldest and most recognizable streets and it used to be part of the much larger Kazandžijska Čaršija, which took up the nearby streets, Luledžina and Oprkanj. Kazandžiluk takes its name from the kazandžijas, master metalworkers and coppersmiths who first started producing kettles for the army and then later began making other copper vessels and items for everyday use (ewers, pitchers, coffee pots, metal table tops, trays). At the height of Ottoman Sarajevo’s “Golden Age”, coppersmiths were producing around a hundred different kinds of items.
The most representative building from the Austro-Hungarian period was completed in 1896. A famous example of Neo-Moorish architecture is inspired by Islamic art in Spain and North Africa.
A place that changed the world is located right next to the famous Latin Bridge. Learn about the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Sophie.
Gazi Husrev Bey’s Bezistan (covered bazaar), also called Old Bezistan and Great Bezistan is part of Gazi Husrev Bey’s vakuf (endowment). It is presumed that the structure was built around 1540.
Built in the 16th century, it is the largest historical mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the most representative Ottoman structures in the Balkans. Being the central Sarajevo's mosque since the days of its construction, today it also serves as the main congregational mosque of the Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Josip Vancaš, a Hungarian architect, took his inspiration for the design of Sarajevo’s cathedral from the Notre Dame Cathedral in Dijon, France and St. Teyn Cathedral in Prague. Thanks to Vancaš’ great talent, Sarajevo’s cathedral ended up becoming an entirely new and authentic building, and also fits in beautifully with its surroundings, with Gazi Husrev Bey’s Hamam (Turkish bath) in the background.
Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures is where East meets West and a location from which we can truly see the uniqueness of Sarajevo by taking two completely different photos from the same spot.

Hi fellow travelers, I would like to say thank you to Kenan who made the tour very informative and also thanks to Emir who done the photoshoot. This tour is perfect for capturing perfect pictures while learning the area of Sarajevo, culture, people, and food. Definitely, will book again this tour once back in Sarajevo. Thanks, Patrick UK
This was an excellent orientation to the history of Sarajevo as well as many of the must see (and photograph) sites of Old Town. Kenan was an enthusiastic guide for his birth city. He went out of his way to make sure we had a good experience and left with a positive impression. I was so impressed I booked another tour with his company the next day. And, it was also an excellent experience. I highly recommend this tour and this company.

I did another tour with this agency, and they asked me if i was interested in this new tour of Sarajevo that they were offering. I thought, why not! Overall a great experience. I got some nice photos to post on my socials as well as to show my friends and family. The photographer/guide, Hana, was very friendly and told me some interesting stories about each of the places we took photos at. The photos came out great quality. Absolutely recommend this to anybody who would like to have good photos from their trip to Sarajevo, for any reason.
