Your Essential Free Tour of Sarajevo will cover the best highlights of the historical center, located on the north bank of Miljacka River—Bascarsija. This sumptuous area bursting with Ottoman monuments represents a cultural symbol of Sarajevo and it is also a lively bazaar area where tourists can find anything from spices, tea, coffee pots, sleepers, traditional sweets, war memorabilia and much more. The link connecting both banks of the city is the charming Latin Bridge. This Ottoman-era stone bridge is a popular tourist destination because it’s near the site where Archduke Franz Ferdinand's was assassinated in 1914, precipitating the First World War. This bridge is also the easiest route to go from the huge Emperor's Mosque to the Cathedral Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos.
