Baščaršija

I feell Bascarsija as the soul of Sarajevo. It's a century old bazaar and old town, full of charm and history. Small streets, plenty of shops, handicraft products, great produce, mosques, indoor bazaar, wonderfull cofee, smell of food everywhere. It's like a Little Istambul. Tasteful, picturesque, but not so crowded. And safe, people here doen't try to take advantage on dumb tourists not knowing the value of the local money.

Feast your eyes and heighten your smell, taste and hearing while watching your spending. You can easily over eat and spend! Judge for yourself as I shared pictures taken while strolling through restaurants, vendors, desserts, coffees and so much more! Definitely a must when you visit Bosnia. Please thumbs up if you appreciate the information.

Baščaršija is Sarajevo's old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the city. Baščaršija was built in the 15th century when Isa-beg Isaković founded the entire town. The word Baščaršija comes from the word "baš", which means "main" in Turkish, so Baščaršija means "main bazaar". Due to a big fire in the 19th century, today's Baščaršija is twice as small as it used to be. Baščaršija is located on the northern bank of the river Miljacka, in the municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo. Baščaršija is home to several important historical buildings, such as the Gazi Husrev Bey Mosque and the Clock Tower. Today, Baščaršija is the main tourist attraction of the city of Sarajevo.

This area is obviously very touristy but part of its charm comes from all the people just relaxing at cafes. I went in the afternoon around 3 pm and it was quite busy. I also plan to drop by earlier in the day when it is a bit quieter. It is the part of town where you can transport yourself back to what it might have been like in “ye olden days”
