During the Siege of Sarajevo, one of the longest and deadliest in modern history, a lifeline emerged beneath the city streets, known today as the Tunnel of Hope. This secret tunnel underneath UN controlled airport was just 1 meter wide and 1.6 meters high. It stretched for nearly 800 meters, connecting the besieged city to the outside world. Constructed in 1993 by Bosnian soldiers and volunteers, this engineering marvel allowed food, supplies, and in average 4000 people every day to pass beneath the airport runway. The Tunnel of Hope Museum, established in 1996, now preserves this remarkable piece of history, displaying photographs, artifacts, and the original tunnel entrance, offering visitors a profound insight into the courage and resilience of Sarajevo's people during those challenging times. If not for Tunnel, Bosnia and Herzegovina would not exist today.

Hidden in the Trebevic mountain lies a unique relic of the 1984 Winter Olympics: the abandoned bobsleigh track. This concrete marvel, originally designed for Olympic athletes to hurtle down icy slopes, has taken on a new life as a canvas for urban art and a symbol of Sarajevo's resilience. Constructed in the Trebević Mountains, the track was part of the city's vibrant sporting history. However, during the brutal Siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, it fell into disrepair, enduring artillery fire and neglect. Today, graffiti artists from around the world have transformed it into a mesmerizing open-air art gallery. With our guide hike up to the track and explore its colorful curves. NOTE: Remember to bring camera!

Offering the best panoramic views over Sarajevo, Mount Trebević unfortunately became a key strategic position used to bombard the city during the war.

Established in the late 17th century, the Jewish Cemetery is one of the oldest Jewish burial sites in Europe. It served as the final resting place for generations of Jewish families who called Sarajevo home. UNESCO-protected Bosnian tombstones known as "Stećak" served as inspiration for majority of grave markers. Tombstones engraved with Hebrew and Ladino, provide a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Jewish community in Sarajevo. Unfortunately during the recent war it was used as sniper nest.

Once a strategic defense point overlooking Sarajevo, the Yellow Fortress has transformed into an emblematic spot for both locals and tourists. Its curious name comes from the color of its stone, which seems to radiate golden hues during the setting sun. Short walk to the top is rewarded with panoramic views of Sarajevo's red-roofed old town, the Miljacka River, and the surrounding mountains. The Soldiers Cemetery, located beneath the forth, is the resting place of Alija Izetbegovic, the first president of Bosnia and Herzegovina. His last wish was to be surrounded by fellow soldiers.
