Next stop Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s capital, the city that has been through it all! It is where the Western and Eastern Roman Empire split and where people of many nations and religions met, lived and warred. You can still see many reminders of the Yugoslav War in bullet holes and cannon marks all around town. Though, still an oriental beauty with a unique twist, and a delight to discover on your walking tour in the old town. The city offers endless delicacies to taste, but the specialty is lamb.

We went in end of June. The weather was really hot. It was very nice to see the Balkan countries. Our tour guide Bojan was very knowledgeable and explained everything really well. The bus driver Dejan was also really good and drove well on the winding roads. I’ll recommend this trip to whoever likes to explore Balkans. It is worth the money!!
