Tour Detail
Our 2-night, 3-day Sarajevo tour departing from İzmir and Istanbul is designed for you to discover one of the most impressive cities in the Balkans in a history and flavor-rich atmosphere. With its narrow streets adorned with Ottoman traces, delicious Bosnian cuisine, bridges overlooking river views, and poignant yet instructive stops bearing the marks of war, this tour awaits you.
On the first day, after arriving in Sarajevo via a direct flight from İzmir or Istanbul, we check into our hotel and, after a short rest, head to the city center. Accompanied by your guide, you will closely feel the intertwining fabric of this multicultural city, known as “Jerusalem of Europe,” where Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and modern Bosnian influences coexist. With its historical bazaar, mosques, churches, and bridges, Sarajevo tells a different story at every corner.
- Baščaršija
- Sebil Square
- Gazi Husrev Bey Mosque
- Ferhadija Street
- Latin Bridge
In your free time in the evening, you can embark on a discovery of your own by tasting Boşnak börek cooked under a sac, cevapi (grilled minced meat) prepared over charcoal, and local desserts. Guests may also enjoy their coffee in riverside cafes to unwind from the day's fatigue.
On the second day, we embark on a full-day tour where you will experience Bosnia's sorrowful recent history and breathtaking nature. At the Tunnel, the only door opening to the world during the siege years of the war, you will hear stories of those who witnessed the events and see the traces of that period with your own eyes. Then, we head towards a fascinating atmosphere where the waterfall meets the greenery.

In the evening, upon returning to the city, guests have the option to participate in a Bosnian night organized by our guide, where they can enjoy folklore performances and local music; they can also savor traditional flavors.
On the third day, you can spend your free time on last-minute shopping for souvenirs, copper handicrafts, handmade products, and local delicacies. For those interested, photo opportunities in the narrow streets and a chance to feel the Sarajevo atmosphere one last time accompanied by coffee and sweets are available. Depending on the flight time, we transfer to the airport for our farewell, returning to Turkey with memories that will inspire your next Balkan adventure after this three-day intense yet enjoyable program.
