Start your tour with transport to the War Tunnel Museum. On the way (25-30 minutes) receive a short introduction to the topics of the war and see important sites and buildings with your own eyes, which you will later hear about again in the museum.

Arrive at the Tunnel of Hope, learn about the position of the museum and its famous mark in front of the entrance named “Sarajevo Rose”. After seeing a short film, a one-hour-long presentation starts, which will explain the fall of Yugoslavia, the war in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, and the creation and importance of the tunnel.

After the Tunnel, head towards the 1984 Olympic mountain Trebević, which is the closest mountain to the centre of Sarajevo and was part of the front line during the siege of Sarajevo. There is an optional opportunity to see and walk in the destroyed hotel of Osmice (if the safety conditions allow it). From there you may experience the most beautiful panoramic views of Sarajevo which unfortunately were also the main positions of the enemy army. In case it is not possible, the guide will take you to a different panoramic spot.

Just under the Trebevic Mountain lies the second largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. The cemetery contains uniquely shaped tombstones that can only be seen in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is believed their shape is influenced by medieval Bosnian tombstones that are named “Stecak”.

Head towards the old Ottoman part of the city to visit the Yellow Fortress. The last stop of the tour is the “Shehidi” (Martyr) cemetery, the resting place of the soldiers that gave their lives for independent Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the heart of the cemetery lies the grave of the first Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic.
