This four-hour tour in Sarajevo covers key sites related to the fall of Yugoslavia and the Siege of Sarajevo, including the Tunnel of Hope Museum and the frontlines of the conflict. The tour begins with a 25-minute stop at the Yellow Fortress, where participants can view the city and the Defenders’ Cemetery while the guide explains the siege’s background. Next, the tour drives around the Olympic Complex, including the Asim Ferhatovic Hase Stadium, passing the destroyed children’s hospital and the grave known as the Sarajevo Romeo and Juliet. The route continues to the Mezarje Stadium Cemetery. The tour then includes a one-hour visit to the Sarajevo War Tunnel Museum, also called the Tunnel of Hope Museum. The tunnel is 800 meters long and was the city’s only connection to the outside world during the four-year siege; it now operates as a museum. After the tunnel, the tour passes through Sniper Alley, a street targeted daily by snipers during the siege, where many buildings still show war damage. The tour also passes by the Mausoleum of Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. A 15-minute stop on Trebević Mountain offers a panoramic view of Sarajevo. The tour visits the Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track, a notable site from the 1984 Winter Olympics. The route also passes the former Hotel Holiday Inn, which served as a base for journalists and UN peacekeepers during the siege. Hotel pickup is included if requested. Bottled water and air-conditioned transport are provided throughout the tour. Entrance fees to the Tunnel Museum are not included and must be paid separately.
