The Sarajevo City Guides answer the questions a first visit always raises: which ćevapi and burek counters locals queue at, how to see the Ottoman old town and the siege years in a sensible order, where the evening starts around Baščaršija and which mountain, bridge or bunker deserves a whole day. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip per place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Kibe Mahala
Vrbanjuša 106, on the hill above Baščaršija
A painted house on the slope with the widest terrace view in the city, closed in with glass when it gets cold. Order the veal slow-cooked under a sač lid: it takes around 45 minutes and serves two. From the food guide.
Despić House
Despićeva 2
A merchant family home that is Ottoman downstairs and European upstairs, where Bosnia’s first theatre was born. Look for the original furniture and the hidden staircase; the combined museum ticket gets you in. From the things to do guide.
Kino Bosna
Alipašina 19
An old cinema turned bar where Monday nights belong to live Bosnian folk and pop, with locals singing along on the dance floor. Bring cash, because cards are not taken. From the nightlife guide.
Plan your days in Sarajevo
Day one: start at the Sebilj, walk the old-town landmarks and Ottoman houses from the things to do guide, have ćevapi or burek for lunch and finish in a wine bar near Baščaršija. Day two: ride the cable car up Trebević or head out to the Bosna springs at Ilidža, then book a classic table from the food guide for dinner. For a rainy or slow day, pair the siege museums with the coffee and sweets section, or take the train to Konjic or Mostar with the day trips guide.
