Hiii guys, this is my first post here.
I was thinking a lot about where to start, there were plenty of ideas, but while I was scrolling through my gallery all the plans fell apart.
The photos you can see below brought me so much happy memories so I decided to share some of them with you.
The photos were taken two years ago on a trip to Sarajevo when we still knew nothing about Covid. :)
My friends and I spent an amazing weekend in this beautiful city.
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina and sometimes is called Jerusalem of Europe.
A mixture of different cultures in the same place brings a very special feeling. In this city, you can see a mosque, catholic church, orthodox church, and synagogue in the same neighbourhood.
People are very friendly and welcoming to strangers or guests. A positive and vibrant atmosphere is all around.
Sarajevo counts ten bridges across the Miljacka river. The most important is the Latin bridge or Princip's bridge
for the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife that started the Great War.
Sarajevo is the only city in the world that has mountains only 30 minutes away from the city centre.
You can find your place in beautiful coffees in the mountain and enjoy an amazing view of the city.
I can freely say that is one of the rare cities where you can find an amazing touch of nature and urban locations.
The nightlife is amazing! We were at a crazy techno party in an old amphitheatre, but the night after that we were listening to traditional Bosnian music. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures but we were just enjoying the music so much. We tried for the first time in our lives tequila with cinnamon and orange. :)
Their traditional music is also known as Sevdah music and is very slow, intense, and emotional.
Their most popular singer (Himzo Polovina) was also a neuro therapist who treated patients with music. Therefore, you can imagine how powerful this music is.
As a book enthusiast, I can’t help but mention the Museum of Literature & Performing Arts where you can find the original Andric's manuscript of the novel The Bridge on the Drina.
Andric was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature and his work became subject to international recognition.
I can recommend this book as one of the Yugoslav classics, but this time I would not talk much about the content, for that a special blog is necessary. I'll just give you a little hint -
in the novel, the bridge is a symbol of a solid building that is eternally present, while human lives are fleeting.
I hope you will enjoy this little travelogue and sometimes have the opportunity to visit Sarajevo.
Any advice from this lovely community for my future posts would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Are these lanterns? They look beautiful.
Yes! There you can find shops only with lanterns!
Thank you for the response (^_^)
I have never been to Sarajevo, but it has always been on my list of places to see and I thanks to your post I am even more convinced to go.
Thanks for sharing @kkatarina
I hope you will make it soon! 🤞
You shouldn't miss seeing a lot of beautiful sights around Bosnia.
When you plan a trip to Sarajevo, I can recommend some places you should visit.
Feel free to ask anything and I will probably blog about places around.
You take me to the world of architecture. This is a nice idea, learning while travelling.
Yes, traveling is the best education that money can buy. :)
Definitely, right...
