What you can expect
Explore the dark history of Sarajevo on a guided tour of the city's most significant and somber sites. Visit the Markale Market, the Memorial for the Children Killed in Sarajevo, and the Tunnel of Hope. Pass through Sniper Alley and see the Olympic Bobsleigh Track.
Start your tour with a visit to the Markale Market, where tragic massacres occurred. Continue to the Memorial for the Children Killed in Sarajevo, a monument that honors the memory of the children who died as a result of the Siege of Sarajevo.
On your way to the Tunnel of Hope, pass through Sniper Alley, the most dangerous street in Sarajevo during the siege, under constant threat of sniper fire.
Arrive at the Tunnel of Hope, a crucial site and must-visit landmark for anyone exploring the Siege of Sarajevo. This 800-meter-long underground passage was constructed during the Siege of Sarajevo (1992-1995) and served as a vital lifeline for the city’s residents.
Walk through a portion of the tunnel, allowing you to experience firsthand the cramped and challenging conditions faced by those who used it. The museum within the Tunnel of Hope displays a collection of artifacts, photographs, and documents related to the tunnel and the siege.
Watch a compelling film that shows how the tunnel was dug and provides dramatic footage of the city under siege. Visit Trebević Mountain, which was once a symbol of Sarajevo's Olympic pride but later became a critical site during the siege.
See the Olympic Bobsleigh Track, built for the 1984 Winter Olympics, now stands as a haunting reminder of the conflict, its concrete curves adorned with graffiti that echoes the city's enduring spirit.
During the siege, the Jewish Cemetery became a dividing line and suffered damage as it was used as a strategic vantage point by snipers, resulting in significant casualties among Sarajevo’s residents.
Visit Lav Cemetery, the final resting place of Sarajevo’s tragic lovers, often referred to as “Romeo and Juliet,” and the world-renowned photographer Kurt Schork, whose work brought global attention to the siege.
Finally, the Yellow Fortress offers breathtaking panoramic views of Sarajevo, as well as a profound connection to the city’s history and its fight for independence. From this vantage point, see the entire city spread out below, including the cemetery where those who gave their lives for an independent Bosnia and Herzegovina are laid to rest.
