After accepting the guests at the agreed location, such as our agency Encijan in the city Foca or our camp in the very heart of the Tara canyon in the morning hours (recommended time between 9 h-10 h), the next is a transport to the destination.
The first station is Baščaršija. Bascarsija is Sarajevo’s old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the city, Sarajevos old Bazaar is the heart and soul of Sarajevo and a meeting point for locals. Baščaršija is an oriental bazaar, a maze of narrow streets with small shops where craftsmen make and sell their products. At one time, each street was dedicated to a different kind of craft—metalwork, jewelry, pottery, and so on. The Sebilj Fountain in Bascarsija is the only structure of this kind in Sarajevo.
What is the next is Vijecnica. Vijecnica is the most extravagant building constructed during Austro-Hungarian occupation. It represents the meeting of civilizations of East and West. Today, in the building are situated the national and university libraries.
After Vijecnica, the next stop is Sarajevo Clock Tower – The only clock which shows lunar time.The clock tower, at 30 metres, is the tallest in all of Bosnia, and dates back to the 17th century when it was constructed by Gazi Husrev-beg next to the mosque that also bears his name. The tower has a staircase with 76 wooden steps arranged in a square, and displays the time on all 4 sides. Those are just parts of this beautiful city which we are going to visit.
After all of these visits you are going to try traditional meals called Cevapi and Burek in Valter’s city , meals famous all over the world. Cevapi, oblong-shaped grilled minced meatballs are the undisputed kings of Bosnian fast foods. If you want to be super traditional, eat your pie with a yogurt drink. The yogurt will coat your stomach and quench your thirst better than water, which you’ll appreciate after a heavy meal such as pie.
Very few cities in the world can offer such a variety of interesting things in such a small area as Sarajevo does.
After launch is transportation to Foca where the arrangement ends.
