Sarajevo Under the Siege Tour
- Sarajevo under the Siege, or 1425 days under the siege tour, as we also like to call it, is one of the most popular tours in Sarajevo, probably because of the famous Tunnel of Hope and the fact that this was the most prolonged siege in modern warfare. The story begins in Jugoslavian country, which unfortunately started falling apart after Tito’s death. The war in Bosnia was an important topic worldwide back in the 1990s. Since the war was unexpected and confusing (mainly because the media could not report it objectively), our guests wanted to learn more and hear personal experiences.
- So, in four hours of this tour, we try to create a complete picture of historical events, political circumstances, and survival.
- On the way to our first destination, our guides will give you an introduction and show you the Sniper Alley, a memorial to brutally murdered children, and other critical war-related objects.
- Then, we will make a first stop to visit the Tunnel of Hope Museum, which ingenious and brave citizens of Sarajevo dug. The tunnel was the only entrance and exit of the occupied city and represented the hope and strength of its people. Tunnel gave desperate people the opportunity to get some food and medical supplies and save severely injured civilians and soldiers.
- Guests get to walk in the tunnel for 25m, saved as it was initially, to experience the struggle.
- After the Tunnel, we continue from the Federation entity to Rebuplika Srpska to our next stop – Olympic Mountain Trebević, where we will enjoy a stunning city view from 1230 m above sea level. The guests will be shown enemy lines and the bob track from the Winter Olympic Games hosted by Sarajevo in 1984. The track is one of the most beautiful abandoned places in the world and a “must-see”!
- The last stop will be the Jewish Cemetery, the second largest in Europe and a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage title. This cemetery was the battleground between the Bosnian Army and Serbian forces during the siege.
- On the way back to the city center, we will also see the memorial bridge of the first two victims of the war.
Join us for this lavish historical experience, and You will not regret it!
