Pijaca Markale food market

Markale Market is a charming and vibrant place in the heart of Sarajevo, filled with fresh produce, local goods, and friendly vendors. It’s a great spot not just to shop, but also to experience the everyday rhythm of the city. During our visit, we even saw a German TV crew filming there — a sign that the market remains a place of interest and activity. But while enjoying the lively atmosphere, it’s important not to forget the tragic history of this place. In 1994 and again in 1995, Markale was the site of two horrific shelling attacks during the Bosnian War, resulting in the deaths of dozens of civilians. Today, the market stands as both a symbol of resilience and a silent reminder of the cost of war. Take your time to enjoy the market — and also take a moment to reflect. Places like this carry more than just goods; they carry memory.

This is a very small covered vegetable market. Great if you are staying here for a while and want fresh produce / vegetables, but for a pure tourist, it's just a small covered market. It has some notoriety as in the war it was bombed twice and it has a "Sarajevo Rose" towards the back of the market, but the paint is faded and the locals no longer bring attention to them. Nearby and some of these reviews here are confusing the 2 places, is the indoor "Gradska tržnica Markale" which is the meat, cheese and eggs etc, it's close and an easy walk 3/4 mins. People have even put pictures of Gradska tržnica Markale (the meat and cheese) here instead of on its own Google listing, lol I think the meat and cheese market is a better place to visit, I'm biased as I like dried smoked beef 😃🙏🏻

This is a street where all food can be found. Restaurants are endless along with souvenir shops. There's about 5 mosques 🕌 within 50m of each other so, no reason for not praying 🙏. Black Friday makes the prices more attractive bcoz discount of upto 50%.

Lovely food market with a variety of delicious produce to choose from.

Fruits, veggies, some flowers, nuts 🌰 🥜 lovely and so alive .. nice to walk around in the area there is close by mini markets as well and just walking distance from amazing old town 👌🏼👍🏼

The market has been a bustling hub of activity in Sarajevo for decades, offering fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and other local delicacies. It gained international attention during the Siege of Sarajevo when it was targeted by shelling, resulting in civilian casualties.

The biggest mistake I made in the past was buying fruits and vegetables from the supermarkets. I didn't know about this place then since I was new in Sarajevo. Their fruits are fresh, clean, and delicious. Unlike the one I was struggling to get from a random supermarket.

Nice food market, which offers several types of food like dry meat, bread or cheese. On the first floor is a nice restaurant to have some typical bosnian dishes.
