City guide

Sarajevo

A city where the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav periods stack up in the same narrow valley; walk a hundred meters from Baščaršija and you cross from one architectural era into another. The 1914 assassination that set off the First World War happened here, and the city hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics.
