Start with the streets

Give Baščaršija and the adjoining centre a full, unhurried visit. A local guide can explain the different periods visible in the city without reducing its communities to a slogan.

Make room for recent history

Choose museums and memorial visits according to your interests, with time to reflect. Ask before photographing worshippers or entering religious spaces.

Give the day room to unfold

Choose one main outing for each day and leave time for meals and the journey back. Confirm access, transport and any guided arrangements before setting out.
