SARAJEVO City Tour! (25 things to do in Bosnia's capital + our vlog)

We're doing a DIY City Tour of Sarajevo and showing you some of the best things to do in the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina!

We think this is Europe's most underrated capital city! Bosnia is stunning!

[SouravBiswas-zdkp]

For me, this is the most underrated country in Europe and if not the whole world. Yes it has its background and it's developing from the war it was raged on but it's so pretty. It's a mix of culture and the natural landscapes are beautiful. I met a friend from there and I fell in love with this country so far. I hope I can visit there in the near future.

Amazing vlog about my city and I'm glad you liked it. I love how this guy reads about history and tells us briefly about the location he is at. That tells me you are interested in a place. Great job

[bosnianmusic]

I think this is the best video about Sarajevo on Youtube (without being made by a professional TV station).

[sheherezad]

One of the most interesting vlogs about Sarajevo you guys are just great . I loved it.

[petercharnley]

Another wonderful vlog. The company & scenery was so lovely. Thank You for taking us with you 👍 👍

[iic]

This is the best video about Sarajevo I'll be going next week and after watching this I'm even more excited. Thank you guys so much!!!!

[MacrobianNomad]

What a beautiful vlog of Sarajevo, honestly I've been sitting here all day trying to find a decent video on YouTube about Bosnia as I'm visiting next month and loving you guy's showcasing. Just subscribed 🥰

[BosnianTrouble]

Another great video! Thank you very much for visiting Bosnia and making this video

[_danisoff_]

Great video, nice to see people enjoying our lovely city. You should also visit some of the other parts of the city if you have time. Keep up the great work!

[citrine]

i'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves in my city :D <3

[kirkalex]

You good folks make such a lovely couple. Thank you for the wonderful tour of the city.

[MathewLauren]

Okay Brandi! Those b-roll shots are incredible!

[capercat]

This was an amazing video. You two did a great job.

[bhspotter]

I'm so glad you like it
likes Sarajevo. But a few tips:
When you come next time, buy a Sarajevo card, because with that card you will be able to ride the cable car for free, visit 13 museums, ride public transport without buying a ticket, you will have a discount on certain foods and many other benefits.
Be sure to find a local citizen who will show you everything, because unfortunately you haven't seen even 10% of what Sarajevo has to offer. We have over 25 museums, many interesting streets that each have their own history, many interesting residential areas, from old Bosnian neighborhoods to modern settlements that can be seen in the West. Also, if you want to go for good and modern shopping, I recommend the following locations and centers:
- Sarajevo City Center (opened in 2014, and KFC was also opened on August 15, 2022)
- Bingo City Center (opened in September 2020, a very nice and large center that also has a CineStar cinema)
- Alta (a modern large center with a beautiful fountain and cafes that have an incredible terrace with a view of the city center)
- Red apple (opened a few days ago. A very modern center, meets absolutely all Western standards, but is also a little more expensive) It is located right next to the Holiday hotel, which has an incredible history and architecture, and you also have a Cineplex cinema.
- If you want to see some beautiful city neighborhoods, I recommend the Bulevar neighborhood (Džemala Bijedića Street, Stup). The settlement has 4 large buildings that light up at night, and there is also a modern city market, DM, ATMs, hair salons, 2 bars, lots of parking spaces, lots of cafes, the building is under video surveillance 24/7. The next neighborhood is Sarajevo Waves (the buildings have a very beautiful and strange shape, there are swimming pools, reception, parks, cafes. It is located in the western part of Sarajevo)
- WestGate (a large shopping center where you can find everything you want. It is located at the very exit from the city at the location Mostarsko razkršće, Western exit from the city)
- OBI (home and garden center. Interesting and different)
- There are many more, but these are one of the best (you've already been to BBI, so you already know what it looks like)

As for hotels, the best hotels for you are Hills, Marriot, Residence, Malak, Holiday, Swissotel, Europa, Bristol and Rotana, first Forester

In addition to trams, you can also use trolleybuses, buses, minibuses, electric scooters, bicycles, taxis and rent a cars.

You must also visit Vrelo Bosne, the tunnel of salvation, the National Museum, the Avaz tower, the national theater

As for restaurants, be sure to go to "Brajlović", located on Ilidža, "near Kibet", located in the Old Town, "Chipas", they have two locations, one next to the cathedral, the other is in the city part of the city, but very very they have a nice building, New York and London style, especially nice for the New Year, "Dragon" in Hrasno...

Greetings from Sarajevo ♥️🇧🇦🥰🏙️🌃

[konsent]

Great video and informative.. Good luck with your adventures from a Bosnian living in Phoenix, Az

[jonathan]

the most fun i have with your video is not that you have some sort of format, but you ar verry honestly about how food taste!
and i like you as a couple-(love) how you present it, you two do not over dramatic every thing, verry down to earth, and knowble about architecture but not over the top information, nice song choice, how you present it, not like a tv host, but more like a conversation.

keep up the good work !

[sonnysantino]

Great video! Thank you! We love Sarajevo ❤️

[TravelingisFREEDOM]
