From War Tunnels to Incredible Food – Sarajevo Surprised Us!
Today we explore the incredible city of Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina 🇧🇦 and what a day it turned out to be! Starting with an early morning in Mostar, we take a scenic (and VERY rainy!) journey through stunning mountains and rivers on our way to Sarajevo. Along the way, we stop at one of the most unusual roadside sights we've ever seen… 😳 Once in Sarajevo, we dive into the city’s powerful history with a visit to the famous Tunnel of Hope — a lifeline during the Siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s. This was easily one of the most eye-opening experiences of our trip. After that, We find the spot where Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated. This served as the immediate spark that triggered World War 1 We explore the beautiful old town, walk along the river with its many bridges, and soak up the unique mix of cultures that makes Sarajevo so special. Of course… we couldn’t leave without trying traditional Bosnian food — and WOW, it did not disappoint! Incredible flavours, huge portions, and amazing value for money. We finish the day back in Mostar with a group dinner and reflect on one of the most memorable days of our trip. 📍 Locations featured: Sarajevo Old Town Tunnel of Hope Museum Scenic route from Mostar to Sarajevo 🍽️ Food highlights: Traditional Bosnian ćevapi Local wines & beers 💬 Let us know in the comments: Have you visited Sarajevo?

Riviera Travel had no editorial input, and as always, our thoughts and opinions are entirely our own. This Riviera Travel holiday combines a seven-night Adriatic yacht cruise with a three-night escorted land tour through Bosnia & Herzegovina. The journey begins in Dubrovnik, where you board a small, four-star yacht accommodating around 40 guests, offering an intimate and relaxed alternative to large cruise ships. Sailing along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, the itinerary includes historic ports such as Korčula, Hvar, Split, Pučišća and Mljet. Guided walking tours introduce the history and culture of each destination, while free time allows independent exploration. The cruise also features scenic sailing, swim stops in clear waters and opportunities to enjoy the surrounding islands and national parks. Meals onboard include daily breakfast and lunch, plus a Captain’s Dinner. After disembarkation, the journey continues inland into Bosnia & Herzegovina. Highlights include the waterfalls of Kravice, the UNESCO-listed bridge in Mostar and the historic city of Sarajevo, where East meets West culturally and architecturally.
