Bascarsija Bazaar, the Ottoman-era marketplace of Sarajevo, is a lively hub of activity in the city’s old town, Stari Grad. Crowded streets lined with traditional and souvenir shops, a broad selection of cultural landmarks, and the ornate Sebilj fountain help make this one of Sarajevo’s most popular attractions, no matter your interests.

Crossing the Miljacka River and leading into the old town of Sarajevo, the Latin Bridge is an elegant fixture of Sarajevo’s scenic riverfront. But what draws so many visitors to this Ottoman landmark is its part in world history as the site where Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated, instigating the events of World War I.
