Before you come to Sarajevo, please looks at the pictures from the time of war. It will give you a new perspective of this beautiful city and amazing citizens who came a long way in less than 25 years. Check my pics included. Some are of the old ones (war) are not directly from Baščaršija but are from the city of Sarajevo to give you an idea. Anyway, Baščaršija is the best place in Sarajevo to eat Bosnian food (čevapčiči and baklava) and drink Bosnian coffee :)

Nicest place I have ever hung out. So much history, romance, nice and friendly people. I just sat in cafes day after day on my vacation looking at all the various and wonderful cultures mixed from all over the world. Streets are classic with some old and modern shops. Not one restaurant disappointed me. Visit this place. If you visit Bosnia get a hotel or room nearby so after you go sightseeing you come and relax here at night. My recommendation is to make sure you get a short taxi drive,tram, or bus ride here so you can shuffle to your room and back. Hang out here at night. You will love the relaxing atmosphere. Bosnians are the most polite and clean people on earth. That picture of the fire did not require the fire department but was Bosnians refusing to be fast food junkies and cooking things the original way. Fire on top and the bottom!! These people take food seriously and I could not believe the price to quality ratio and originality. If your American you will have the best food for a lot less considering the currency conversion. They do not accept restaurants cooking with any less quality than they do at home.. This review was written by Sam my husband who went there for the first time.

A must visit! It turns you back to the old Times. So many little things to buy (recommendations for the local sweets, brass coffee pots and teacups). The cafes usually do not have restrums, so go to the public toilet of you must (around 50cents). There Is a large parking area (around 1Eur per hour), but very very crowded. There Is "gradska tržnica" nearby (walk to the "new" Part of town) which Is a enclosed market place in An old building where you can buy all sorta delicious domestic meet and dairy products!

You can’t get any feeling for history here unless perhaps hiding in the mosque. It’s full of tourist souvenir shops ( though also some beautiful clothing and jewellery stores) and people gorging themselves with food all around you. There is virtually nobody looking inside the mosque or the brilliant National Museum. It’s all eating and shopping.

Part of the old city. Very atmospheric place. There are many cafes, restaurants, pastry shops, souvenir shops and people. The food is very tasty. And not least, the prices for food and drinks are the same throughout the city and the country as a whole. Convenient transport accessibility. There are also trams and buses. Recommend to visit.

Bazaar market in the old town. There are many shops here selling many survenir items. Most shop similar goods with the same price but some will give you discounts. You need to spend about 2 hours here as there are too many things to see. Many restaurants available.

Basically, this is the oldish part of Sarajevo, where the market was held. Honestly, this is also the part of the city I prefer most!! Beautiful during the day and even more during the nights, where the crowds disappear. You may need an entire day to visit its markets, mosques and taste their delicious food.

A wonderful historical place with artisan shops and tradition. Lots of handmade products from artisans. Old houses, religious buildings, shops are worth a visit to see the old tradition that is cherished. Home made sweets that you won't find anywhere else

Lovely place to chill for the day, take great pictures, eat good food. Everything you need is nearby there is an money exchange, bakery,restaurants, markets etc. A big fat recommendation for people who are travelling to Bosnia 🇧🇦 .

Very interesting m and historic place with lots of good shopping and restaurants and everybody I spoke to spoke English. Unfortunately just like the rest of Sarajevo there are a lot of very persistent beggars that will come back multiple times even after giving money.

If you've visited Sarajevo and haven't been to Baščaršija, you haven't been to Sarajevo. It is a historical part with old crafts, where even the streets were named after them. There you have to go through the narrow streets and buy something from the street vendors: cheap silverware, silk scarf, pashmina or pounded coffee. it is essential to sit down for Bosnian coffee, eat čevapčiče or burek (pie, cheese cake) and sweeten yourself with baklava, which is based on thin dough, butter, honey and nuts, my favorites are pistachios, pine nuts and sesame. If you add sweetened orange juice to it, it's absolutely perfect. Persimmons, roses, halva, rahatlokum are also known, but for me personally, baklava is the best.

It is worth to be seen, among the best places I have visited. Here is some photos to give you better idea about Sarajevo and Bosnia. Enjoy!!

My favourite place in Sarajevo. Beautiful bazaar and lots of small restaurants to enjoy a nice food or cold beer 🍻 😁. The only thing I didn’t really like was the constant amount of women asking for money.

Very nice place to visit in Sarajevo, city where live our brothers Serb Muslims! 🇷🇸

Baščaršija is the historic and cultural heart of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This vibrant and bustling area of the city is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the rich culture and history of Sarajevo. The area is centered around a pedestrianized square and is known for its winding streets, colorful buildings, and bustling markets. Baščaršija has a long and complex history, dating back to the Ottoman era, and many of the buildings and landmarks in the area have been preserved and restored.

Amazing place with a lot of history. Not every day you can walk inside of a bobsleigh circuit! Amazing graffiti art.

The most beautiful part of Sarajevo, old town. Great atmosphere and food culture. The entire city still has a massive Ottoman influence regardless of the Austria-Hungary architecture on the other side.

This is one of the entrances, from many to the old market "maze" where you can find tons of different little stores selling from hand craft pieces to the modern Bosnian coffee cups and coffee pots. Definitely a place to visit when in Sarajevo, just beautiful!

It is a historic place including lots of building, mosques, souvenir shops, coffee places and restaurants. Visit the alleys you might find something interesting.

Worth visiting the place, is a part of the old ottoman city, very atmospheric you have the feeling that you are in Constantinopoli! There are many restaurants, cafeteria's, pastry shops, souvenir shops, people and pigeons! The food around the area is very tasty with the prices for food drinks or whatever be very cheap like most of Bosnia.

Lovely lively place, all the touristy trinkets and objects found here. Historical significance as well is this area

One of the most fascinating places I have ever seen. The old town of Sarajevo, full of small shops, crafters, restaurants, cafes; a pedestrian paradise, full of life from eraly morning to late night, where everything is tidy, inviting, beautiful. While walking, you can breathe the history of Sarajevo, and experience the astounding balance and mixture of cultures, colors, religions. Just go there,and see!!

Beautiful Ottoman old town area. Well preserved. Nice restaurants and shops around. Must visit when in Sarajevo.

Always good, beautiful place, worth visiting every time I am in Bosnia

Charming square in old town. Even the gazillion pigeons are a delight. Super atmosphere. Friendly locals. Plenty of quaint shops with bargains galore. History around every corner.

Best place to visit in Sarajevo. There are lots of different places to eat and drink. Variety of shops to buy stuff from and most people understand English. It can be quite crowded at times, but other than that it's amazing.

(Translated by Google) What to say, the heart of Sarajevo, BiH attraction, the old part of the city that has been dealing with hundreds of years and proudly represents the culture of our peoples once upon a time, you are now (Original) Šta reći, srce Sarajeva ,BiH atrakcija ,stari dio grada koji se nosi s stotinama godina i ponosno predstavlja kulturu naših naroda nekad ,si sad

Historical place, fantastic food, lovely, welcoming and friendly people. Lot of shops and souvenir shops. Must see in Sarajevo

Classic style bazar, but the buildings are new and clean

Loved this place, historical places, mosques and nice shops. Though the giftshops are a little bit expensive😏

A local shared that Baščaršija means, "main bazaar," and it's just that. If you only have a day in Sarajevo, it's a must visit area lined with stores, shops, and restaurants. Reminiscent of Istanbul's bazaar culture, as it was built by the Ottomans.

I absolutely adore this place, even though it got quiet expensive. Still, having a turkish coffee with baklava or tufahija is a must! ❤️

Beautiful place. With truly Bosnian sharm. Food is ufffff.......fabulous.

This is a large bazaar in Sarajevo downtown. It is built during 15. century. There are several shops, restaurants and historical places.

Theis is the old part ot the city, the most charming and cozy place full multicultural life. My preferred area in Sarajevo with lots of bazaars, restaurants and many options to enjoy the city and the wonderful sourvenirs and handicrafts. This is a must in Sarajevo.

One of the best old towns I visited in east europe. You can find here everything in one place. The ambient is great

The major makets located in old town. Shops selling their local hand made copper and tin products, to coffee shops selling the typical Bosnian coffee to shesha pipe cafes where you can have a coffee and a shesha. lots of touristy shops and all really well priced. lots of local restaurants to try out too.

Busy area even at night. Fun to be lost in the midst of each alley that offers a variety of local foods, drinks and shops.

The east meets the west in Sarajevo, just like in Skopje, Macedonia, and in both cities the oriental part is, of course, the bazaar (carsija). Ot is a very lively place during the day, with tons of cafés, burek places, kebabcici and tea-shops. In many, there is no beer or any alcohol served, due to islamic traditions. So if you want to have kebabcici and a cold beer for lunch - ask in advance if there is beer :)

The old town has a lot of colourful shops. Walking in these stone paved streets is great. There is an 18th century fountain, around this place there are pigeons to feed and watch.

If you visit Sarajevo this is a must see place. There is a line where east meet west and it is obvius if you look at the building style on each side. Food is great , ratluk is must try , and there r all kind of tourist diamonds to visit at the spot

Old & Traditional market in middle of Serajevo. Nice place to walk and buy gifts, suvaners, clothes, sweets. It has also good restaurants.

(Translated by Google) You can only experience the old part of the city, the beauty of Baščaršija, because it is impossible to describe in words. The old spirit of craftsmen permeates the streets, while the smell of kebabs and Bosnian pies invites you to lunch. (Original) Stari dio grada, ljepote Baščaršije možete samo doživjeti jer je riječima opisati nemoguće. Stari duh zanatlija prožima se ulicama, dok miris ćevapa i bosanske pite zove na ručak.

Sarajevo old town. A must see. Great choice of traditional food, sweets and drinks. A lot of restaurants and bars. Shops with a lot of traditional goods. Couple of museums.

Baščaršija is one of the most colorful places in Sarajevo, full of Balkan and oriental vibes, with the iconic Sebilj wooden fountain. Turkish-style artisan shops are full of things, that cannot be bought anywhere else in Europe. And the traditional Bosnian Coffee tastes great.

Duh orijenta, ali ponuda siromasna i monotona.

المدينة القديمة أو باشرشيا ويسميها بعض العرب السوق العثماني. مكان جميل به مساجد تراثية ومحلات كثيرة بس لا يغلبوك :) .

(Translated by Google) The old market in Bashvarchia, which is a market that has passed through ancient civilizations, including the Ottoman, and includes the typists of civilizations, and it has beautiful museums, mosques, restaurants and cafes, and it also has heritage castles that have wonderful views of Sarajevo Enjoy its beauty (Original) السوق القديم باشچارشيا وهو سوق مرت عليه حضارات قديمه منها العثمانيه ويضم الطابعين من الحضارات وفيه متاحف جميله ومساجد ومطاعم ومقاهي وفيه ايضا قلاع تراثيه لها اطلالات خلابه علي سراييفو استمتع بما فيه من جمال

(Translated by Google) Don't go here without loving the pigeons and feeding them. Başçarşı has a beautiful old style and a culture that is still protected. It is possible to find the traces of the Ottomans everywhere! Speaking of Ottoman, they love Turks here. There are usually coppersmiths in Başçarşı, the shopkeepers are smiling. (Original) Buraya gelip de güvercinleri sevmeden, onlara yem vermeden gitmeyin. Başçarşı güzel, eski bir tarzı var hala korunan bir kültürleri var. Her yerde Osmanlı’nın izlerine rastlamak mümkün! Osmanlı demişken, Türkleri seviyorlar burada.. başçarşıda genelde bakırcılar var, esnaf güleryüzlü.

Standardno lijepo, interesantno, daleko manje posjetilaca.

Burada gezerken kendinizi Anadolu'daki herhangi bir kasabada hissedebilirsiniz. Aklınızda kalan fotografı Bursanın Orhaneli İlçesimiydi vs diye karıştırabilirsiniz o derece. Ancak meydanı geçip Saraybosnaya daha gerçekci bir gözle bakarsanız, Burasının hayırsız eblatların babaevini terk edip gittiği bir daha yüzüne bakmadığı için çökmüş eski binalardan ibaret bir anadolu kasabası olmasınığını kolayca anlarsınız. herbiri anadolu kadar eski binalar hala pırıl pırıl hala özenle kullanılıyor. Kardeş kavgasının derin kederli izlerine rağmen saraybosna'da insanlık tarihine yakışır bir siyasi yönetimin geçtiği kolayca anlaşılır. Sokaklara, yollara döşenmiş taşlara yüzlerce yıllık binalara sinmiş bir medeniyet var. Yugoslavya zamanında kimbilir ne güzel aşklar yaşanmıştır burada der ve hüzünlenirsiniz.

Wonderful place

الاجواء ممتازه جداً وشعب ودود والتعامل مع الزوار جداً لطيف ولا فرق بينهم من ناحية الديانات ولله الحمد

Amazing views and experience! This is a very diverse cultural and architectural area of Sarajevo. There are many amazing shops and restaurants located in a small area. There are a lot of shops with counterfeit goods. It detracts from the beauty of the area. As a tourist, be sure to really pay attention and walk around before you purchase souvenirs. You will notice many shops carry the same wares, but vary in prices. There are many signs around warning of pickpockets. There seems to be a substantial police presence, but you should always keep your valuables secured.

Because all girls from here beautiful 😍😂🥰

Nice place ❤❤❤🤩

I couldn't believey eyes when I've seen this quarter for the first time. It has such a unique atmosphere.

Truly hedonism!

Baščaršija is the heart of Sarajevo. If you come to Sarajevo and don't visit it's like you haven't been in Sarajevo.

Warm, welcoming space. Amazing food. Traditional structures and their associated stories. Spend a lazy afternoon walking around and enjoying the local food and Bosnian coffee.
