Tour details
Day 1: Istanbul – Sarajevo
Meet at the airline counter in the departure terminal of Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport. Depart for Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on AJet flight VF97 at 13:15. After a comfortable flight, arrive at 14:30 local time and, after entry procedures, depart with our private vehicle waiting in the area. Upon arrival, we will see a city that has been the cultural capital of the Balkans for centuries and became known in history as the place where World War I broke out following the assassination of Austrian-Hungarian Crown Prince Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Serbs in 1914. In the 1992 war, it suffered major damage as a result of the devastating wars between Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks, yet Sarajevo largely managed to preserve its beauty. During our panoramic city tour, we will see the famous Baščaršija, the historic Ottoman inn Morica Han, the Catholic Cathedral reflecting the city’s religious cosmopolitanism, the Synagogue, Gazi Husrev Bey and Ferhadija Mosques, Latin Bridge where Franz Ferdinand’s assassination took place in 1914, the Old Library, and the Western-style buildings formed during the city’s 40-year Austro-Hungarian administration.

This bridge was destroyed during the 1992 war, but with major contributions from the Republic of Türkiye, it was rebuilt faithfully in 2004 and has since become the symbol of Mostar once again. Around this bridge, which elegantly connects the two banks of the Neretva River, we will have the opportunity to stroll through the historic bazaar and stone streets.
