Gastronomic Journey to Sarajevo
Sarajevo’s gastronomy is a paradise for lovers of meat and traditional flavors. You must try the legendary Ćevapi (small kebabs served in somun bread) and Burek (meat pie). Accompany your meal with Ayran and round it off with a Bosnian Coffee served in a traditional “džezva”. For dessert, baklava and tufahija (poached apple stuffed with walnuts) are the ultimate choices.
The Best Time to Visit Sarajevo
Spring (May–June) and autumn (September–October) are the best seasons for sightseeing. However, in August the city is vibrant and buzzing with life thanks to the Sarajevo Film Festival, the largest film event in Southeastern Europe.
