What you can expect

Sarajevo Total Siege Tour guided by a local survivor is by far the most interesting half day experience you can take when visiting Sarajevo. It will take you to the War Tunnel Museum, Jewish Cemetery, Olympic mountain Trebević (with its most famous symbol – Olympic Bobsleigh track), and other locations crucial for better understanding of modern World longest siege – Siege of Sarajevo.

Meet our team at the office or your preferred pickup location. Your guide, a survivor of the Sarajevo Siege, will introduce you to the storey of Breakup of Yugoslavia and Siege of Sarajevo, and will make sure no questions remain unanswered, even of personal nature, so don’t refrain from sharing your thoughts and opinions at any moment of time.

First stop of the day is the ex Hotel Holiday Inn and storey about infamous Sarajevo Sniper Alley. Built for the Sarajevo 1984 Winter Olympics, today called Hotel Holiday, during the Siege used to be home to various foreign journalists and reporters who were reporting on Bosnian war and Siege of Sarajevo. Short walk along the infamous Sniper Alley and few interesting stories related to this place are planned in.

Next stop of the day will be War Tunnel Museum – Tunnel of Hope, which was the major “blood vessel” for heavily sieged and destroyed city. At the Tunnel we shall see a short film about the War in Sarajevo and Tunnel, followed by going through the Tunnel itself.

At the exhibition part of the museum, we will have the opportunity to see many interesting exhibits directly connected with the Siege of Sarajevo.

The trip to the tunnel and all the way in the tunnel is covered with a true first person experience of classy guide, survivor of the Siege of Sarajevo who will be willing to answer any of your questions and introduce you to the origins of the War in the Balkans and Death of Yugoslavia.

After the Tunnel we head towards the mountain Trebević which, by vast majority of its length, was the first line during the Siege and place of many battles on many battlefields.

At the site we have the opportunity to see where the real destruction appeared, such as Zlatište, Osmice, Trebević Vidikovac and many other destroyed facilities and sites.

Sarajevo Bobsleigh, originally built for the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics, is one of the main highlights of the tour. During the siege of Sarajevo, this unique symbol of the city used to be on one of the main front lines. Today, it is featured at the top of the Worlds most beautiful abandoned places lists and holds amazing amount of various graffiti by artists from all around the world.

Upon return to the city, last stop of the day will be Jewish Cemetery, known for its historical importance as it is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe. However, during the Siege of Sarajevo it was the main front line and sniper nest of the Republic of Srpska army, overlooking the infamous Sniper Alley.

At the end of the tour, we will drop you off at your hotel.
