(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Ferhadija Pedestrian Street
Start in the heart of Sarajevo, right at the cathedral. Your guide will kick things off with a quick history download—think empires, religions, and why Sarajevo is called the “Jerusalem of the Balkans.”
Enter the Mahalas—Sarajevo’s old Ottoman neighborhoods. First stop: Mejtaš, the historic Jewish quarter. It’s full of stories about Sarajevo’s Sephardic roots, and the surprising ways cultures blended here.
Many traces of Ottoman Sarajevo still hide in plain sight—like an old dervish monastery tucked into the hillside. Here, your guide will dive into stories of dervishes, diversity, and the unlikely ways faiths and cultures overlapped in this city that somehow always made room for everyone.
