Things to do in Sarajevo International Airport
Sarajevo is one of Europe's most layered and fascinating cities — a place where Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Yugoslav histories literally intersect on a single street. The Baščaršija bazaar, with its coppersmiths, burek bakeries, and the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, is one of the Balkans' finest Ottoman old quarters. The Latin Bridge where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 is a short walk away. The city's siege history is movingly told at the War Childhood Museum.
