Best places: Historic sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Built 1457–1565 in classical Ottoman style, Emperor's Mosque is Sarajevo's oldest place of worship.

👍 Visted sarajevo in August 2019. Our last day here, luckily happened to see the opening parade of the film festival in the street. So many gorgeous looking people. Didn't get chance to go inside of the building. Hope to come back again in the future to watch shows here.

👍👍 An exceptional historical place! Be sure to visit all the museum exhibits and drink homemade coffee on the roof of the fortress after. Full recommendations!

👍👍 Beautiful mosque in the center of Sarajevo Old town.

A 16th-century Ottoman mosque & gardens, destroyed by war & restored to traditional form in 2007.

👍👍 A historic building started as a catholic church, then purchased and converted to serve as a mosque, with about 600 years of history. There is also a place for women to pray, and a place for lessons to be held. The carpets indicate the direction of prayer, although the imam stands in the east. The...

👍👍 Built in the middle of the 14th century, The Royal Town of Bobovac was the most important fort of medieval Bosnia. Bobovac was the key to the Bosnian kingdom, as the capital city of the Bosnian Ban Stjepan II Kotromanić, who took the first steps in its construction just before the first half of 14th...

😠 The monk working there is extremely unpleasant and working time of the monastery is very inconvenient (especially if you want to make the visit on the same trip with Vjetrenica cave - which would be natural, since they are very close one to another). The other nearby monasteries (e.g. Hercegovacka G...

Renovated medieval castle with a summer concert stage & a restaurant overlooking the river.

👍👍 I visited in January, and there is a note that says that during winter months you can only enter the fortress if you call in advance. During other seasons entrance fee is 3 Bosnian marka. The view from the top of the hill, where the fortress is situated is quite spectacular, the river Bosna makes qu...

Time-tested mosque in the center of the city's old bazaar, declared a national monument in 2006.

👍 It is a good place to have a panoramic view of Bihac and enjoy seeing the old fort. The location mentioned in Google will stop far from the fort and you have to walk but to avoid that, you need to continue driving toward the fort , there is a a narrow road which will arrive you to the fort entrance...

Huge church built in the 1860s featuring an ornate interior with many portraits & stained glass.

🫤 Completely ruined castle! It should be closed and renovated. Letting tourists inside almost collapsed building is not the most responsible thing. There is park of sculptures from local stone in the castle but I would not waste my time to visit it...
