Last month, we traveled to Sarajevo for the first time where we stayed for two nights at the Hotel Hecco Deluxe, a nice hotel with a rooftop terrace giving us fantastic views of the city. Sarajevo's city center is pretty small so we were able to navigate and visit most of the attractions traveling on foot. The vibe was really cool especially with flocks of tourists visiting the famous Bascarsija, the historic market in the city center. In case you are planning to visit Sarajevo, below are some of my tips, and as always, please feel free to comment with your own travel tips.
