🇧🇦 I Finally Saw the Sarajevo from History Textbooks
*"On June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was assassinated in Sarajevo, igniting World War I."* 111 years later, I found small shops open from 6 AM to midnight 🕕, with shopkeepers who rarely bargain, craftsmen’s stores where you can browse for hours 🛍️, sunset rays falling on tombstones mostly dated 1993 🌅, kittens napping on street corners 🐱, and bullet scars still visible on buildings 💥. Sarajevo carries its traces—blending mundane and vibrant daily life. —————————— Must-Sees: Yellow Fortress: Cemetery of the 1992-96 Siege of Sarajevo ⚰️ Latin Bridge: Assassination site of Archduke Franz Ferdinand ("Spark of WWI") 🌉 Sarajevo Roses: Red resin-filled war scars 🌹 Eternal Flame: Burning since 1946 🔥 Local Food: Beef rolls (ćevapi) and yogurt—look for red signs with white text! 🍽️ Sarajevo is small and walkable—a city absolutely worth visiting! ☮️ #Sarajevo #SarajevoFood #Bosnia #WorldHeritage
