Miraculously – or through a combination of Clete’s love of planning and my navigation skills – we did not make a single wrong turn on the way to our hotel in the Turkish Quarter / Old City of Sarajevo. Warned not to leave the car with Croatian license plates on the street, we parked in a semi-guarded lot and hoped for the best. Sarajevo was a city of sharp contrasts. While much of the old city was rebuilt and is now a bustling haven for locals and tourists alike, bullet holes covering many of the buildings painted a vivid reminder of the recent conflict.
We hit up all the must-sees, including the location where Franz Ferdinand was shot triggering the start of World War I.
Special shout out to Tara Kramlich and her friend Adi who was raised in Sarajevo and recommended amazing restaurants. If you haven't tried ravioli bathed in sour cream and oil as well as various vegetables stuffed with ground beef you haven’t really lived.
Also thanks to Adi, we were able to watch the sunset over the whole city.
