Bosnia and Herzegovina's fascinating capital Sarajevo nestles among dramatic peaks, a bustling and welcoming city. War took its toll, with the 1992-1996 siege hitting hard. But the lively, diverse, museum-rich city has been almost entirely reconstructed. Don't miss Bijambare caves, set in thick forests and amid lakes to the north of the city, or Bosna Springs, from which the country takes its name. Site of 1984's Winter Olympics, Sarajevo offers spectacular skiing on Mount Bjelasnica Jahorina.

The first Jews reached Bosnia in the middle of 15th century from Spain and Portugal. As tens of thousands of Jews fled the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions, Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire welcomed Jews who were able to reach his territories. Sephardi Jews fleeing Spain and Portugal were welcomed in – and found their way to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Thrace and other areas of Europe under Ottoman control. Sarajevo became an important center for the Jews of Balkans. In the Ottoman Empire Jews were generally well-treated and were recognized by law as non-Muslims. Despite some restrictions, the Jewish communities of the Empire prospered. They were granted significant autonomy, with various rights including the right to buy real estate, to build Synagogues and to conduct trade throughout the Ottoman Empire. Jews, along with the other non-Muslim subjects of the Empire, were granted full equality under Ottoman law by 1856.

Art is not the first thing that comes to our minds when we think about Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sarajevo, but we assure you that Sarajevo has one of the best art scenes in region. In this tour we will visit few locations in Sarajevo that are related to conceptual and contemporary art, we talk to local artists and art curators. Conceptual art is a direction in modern art from the early 1960s to the mid 1970s. It emerged as an artist's desire to dematerialize the subject of artistic activity, using non-traditional artwork and materials (polaroid, art, film, video, body art, happening, urban action). Join us in this awesome tour! We start every day, except sunday, at 13:00 in front Sacred Heart Cathedral.

In this tour/activity we will learn more about Sarajevo's traditional crafts. one of them is of course the silversmithing. we will also meet with our local artist, a silversmith and with his help make a small and unique souvenir for you to take home. :) Silversmith is an old name for a craftsman, who designs or modifies (modifies) jewelry and small ornaments of silver. This craft is, in fact, a kind of art since small ornaments are made where inventiveness, skill and precision are needed. Earlier, hand tools were used and the work was done mostly by hand. Contemporary technology for the processing of materials and decoration making has recently been used. The silversmiths also use various types of precious stones in their work. The most common products of these handicrafts are jewelery, such as rings, brooches, necklaces and bracelets.
Inclusions: We will have a coffee/tea brake in Ministry Of Ćeif caffe after our workshop

On our honeymoon, my wife and I joined Nikola’s Siege of Sarajevo/War Tunnel tour. It affected us so much that we came back for a second tour that afternoon, for Nikola's street art tour. A year later, I’m still asking the questions that Nikola and Sarajevo lit up in my mind. What is nationalism? What is the state? What is self-determination? What will it take to achieve a truly free society? I’d asked these questions before, but Sarajevo helped me see new colors. I don’t know if any other tour guide could have held these themes up to the light in the same way that Nikola did for me. It felt like every piece of history was personal to him, like he was unraveling a mystery--and I sensed that somehow I was involved in the mystery too, and that solving it would involve uncovering things that I had been searching for without realizing. That still feels true to me now that I’m back home. That’s why I keep thinking about Sarajevo and Nikola.

We will then pass through Gradina - highland summer village, and go to Studeni Potok stream. On the way, we will visit 40-meter Peruće Waterfall before continuing to Lukomir. Our last stop - Lukomir village. It lives the same life for more than 600 years, Bosnia’s highest and most isolated mountain village. On the edge of the village you will be treated to a breathtaking view of Rakitnica Canyon. We will have traditional homemade lunch prepared by our hosts.

If you feel annoyed by the city crowd and want to get away from it, why not take a ride in the cable car and explore the pristine nature of the mountain Trebević? It was always the most favorite spot for the locals to enjoy the fresh air and the best panorama of the city. The mountain Trebević is known in Slavic mythology as the place of sacrifice, but in modern times it is known as one of four Olympic mountains. The 1984 Winter Olympic games were the first-ever held in a socialist state and in a Slavic language-speaking country. The Sarajevo games have also been the only Olympics so far to be hosted by a Non-Aligned Movement member and by a Muslim-majority city. Take a walk on the bob-sled track, see some great graffiti, have a cup of coffee and let your inner spirit free.

I had the most interesting tour led by Riyadh -- the consummate tour guide, full of information and personal knowledge of the Tunnel. His family is from the city and lived through the Siege of Sarajevo. In fact, Riyadh was born during the siege!! He was able to relate the struggle of the city's civilians on such a personal level -- it really brought the whole experience to life for me. Never rushing our pace, patiently answering the many questions, and a thorough depth of knowledge about the Tunnel and surrounding events made Riyadh the perfect guide for the Tunnel of Hope tour!
