The pedestrian bridge, Festina Lente, connects the promenade on Obala Maka Dizdara on the left side of the Miljacka River with Obala Kulina Bana and Radićeva Street on the right.

This modern structure, with the Academy of Fine Arts in the background, is a magical sight, especially at night.

The bridge opened on August 22, 2012 and it was Adnan Alagić, Bojan Kanlić and Amila Hrustić, students at the Sarajevo Art Academy, who came up with its design.

The bridge is illuminated by LED lighting which is placed along the external frame and footway and there are two wooden benches in the center.

An inscription at both entrances to the bridge reads, Festina Lente, which is Latin for...

Opened on August 22, 2012, the bridge was built by Bojan Kanlic, Adnan Alagic, and Amila Hrustic, students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo.

It is 38 meters long and 4-7 meters wide. It is made of steel and covered with aluminum plates, and the fence is made of laminated glass with wooden handrails.

It is illuminated with LED lights on the floor and the fence, which gives a special effect while walking at night.

Both entrances are engraved with the inscription "Fesfina Lente", which in Latin means "Take it easy".

That way, you can hurry slowly along the way to the building of the Academy of Fine Arts, which can be seen in...

This is one of the most unique pedestrian bridges in Sarajevo. Its name, Festina Lente, is Latin for “Make haste slowly.” The design is symbolic—it combines speed and caution, reflecting a balance between progress and thoughtfulness. The bridge features a modern and artistic loop in the middle, which represents the idea of slowing down in the rush of life. It was designed by students from the Academy of Fine Arts, which is located right next to the bridge. A beautiful place to take photos and reflect, both literally and...

One of the most unusual Sarajevo bridges, called Festina Lente. For those who should hurry slowly! Designed by students of Sarajevo Academy of Arts (Adnan Alagić, Bojan Kanlić and Amila Hristić), opened in 2012. Attracted by tourists and locals, it offers a relaxing space with a bit of shadow in hot summer days. Also, lighted nicely at night and accompanied by interesting sculptures over the Miljacka river.
