For travelers touring the Balkans, a stay in Sarajevo is essential to understanding and appreciating the region. The capital has long been a place where cultures intersect, blending into and improving upon one another. Once called the Jerusalem of the Balkans, Sarajevo was a city where people from all walks lived harmoniously. And they still do, though it would be naive to say the effects of the war are forgotten. Now, ten years removed, visitors can throw any negative connotations out the window. This city is re-establishing itself, and tourists will encounter a city whose richness and unique Eurasian blend resonate over all else.
