What to do and see in Sarajevo, Sarajevo Canton: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

June 3, 2021 Nobuko Falco

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.

Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Sarajevo

Reviewed By kmarko - Ljubljana, Slovenia

the catholic church from 6th century, now a bit redesigned and used as an orthodox church, really cute, well worth a short stop - just few steps from Baščaršija.

Katedrala Sarajevo

Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom

This has to be one of my favourite spots within the city, not because I am religious, as I am not, but simply because of its beautiy and serenity. I am going to say that you can feel God in this place or any of that, as if you are looking for that it can be found anywhere, but there is something special about this building. Sited in a small square within the pedetsrianised heart of the shopping district it serves as a reminder that there is more to life than endless consumerism and provides us with an opportunity to stop for a while and just be.

Serbian Orthodox Cathedral

Reviewed By MitziMarmot - Casper, United States

This impressive church is right off the pedestrian walkway across from a park. There are many pretty details in its architecture, so it's worth the short detour in order to view it.

Saint Joseph's Church

Reviewed By 150luxury - Zagreb, Croatia

This church attracted me with its white stone built and loud bells. I went to mass and I felt something special, a hint of spirituality helped by the dedication of the priests and the singing of a little group of people.
