From historic Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture to towering minarets and magnificent mosques, Sarajevo\u2019s very name (Turkish for \u2018key city\u2019) gives some indication of the city\u2019s enduring appeal. Sure, it\u2019s a little rugged on the outskirts \u2013 a reminder of the 1990s conflict \u2013 but the center is still a gorgeous mix of red-roofed buildings, cobbled streets and bustling bazaars; a little slice of Istanbul on Bosnian soil. With so many places, we\u2019ve selected the best places to see in Sarajevo to visit on your next trip.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be.jpg\" alt=\"Places to See in Sarajevo\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-be-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Fountain of Gazi Husrev \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/old-fountain-of-gazi-husrev-beg-mosque-sarajevo-bosnia-gm484771984-71941703?st=_p_Gazi%20HusrevBeg%20Mosque\">tunart\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Gazi Husrev-Beg Mosque<\/h3>\n<p>Considered one of the finest examples of early Ottoman architecture, this 16th century delight in Stari Grad features muqarnas (honeycomb vaulting), a charming dome, fountains and Greek style pendentives that showcase a harmony between eastern and western Europe.

Highlights include the square (with Sebilj fountain) and the house of Benderija (Inat Ku\u0107a), whose tenacity was famously discovered by the Austro-Hungarian authorities when they sought to build City Hall. Refusing to let his house be demolished, Benderija only budged upon receipt of a bag of gold and the promise to build his house, brick by brick in identical fashion, on the other side of the river.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3822\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock.jpg\" alt=\"Places to See in Sarajevo\" width=\"1290\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock-200x167.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock-768x643.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock-1024x857.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insightvacations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/travnik-old-town-credit-istock-600x502.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"IVcaption\">Travnik Old Town \u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.istockphoto.com\/photo\/travnik-old-town-gm187336976-28933138?st=_p_Travnik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mustafacan\/iStock<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Bijela Tabija<\/h3>\n<p>An enormous castle with panoramic views of Sarajevo, the Milijacka River Canyon and the Dinaric Alps, the \u2018White Fortress\u2019 dates back to the Austro-Hungarian period and has a very medieval attitude to go with it.
