Sarajevo city guide: your weekend break sorted

Sasha nugara finds history and hope in the capital of bosnia-herzegovina.

W ith its Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian-era architecture, Serbian Orthodox churches, mosques and dramatic geographical setting — almost surrounded by mountains — Sarajevo is the perfect destination for people seeking a city break with cultural complexity, historical resonance and a Balkan buzz.

The city is where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot, triggering the First World War. More recently it was the setting of a siege lasting almost four years in the Bosnian War of the 1990s. But peace has brought revitalisation and renewal to the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as a host of fun places in which to sit and enjoy cevapi sausages and some excellent local wines. Visit now and be transported into a kaleidoscope of other worlds.

● Start by exploring the historic centre of Bascarsija, spotting Ottoman-era mosques alongside Austro-Hungarian cathedrals and synagogues. Walk through Kazandziluk (Coppersmith Street), where you can catch demonstrations of craftsmen fashioning vases from shell casings, then duck into the covered market. Be careful with the water from Sebilj fountain: locals believe that those who drink it have no choice but to come back to the city.

● Just off the Miljacka River, the many-pillared National Theatre is hard to miss, especially after sunset when the white brickwork is lit up against the night sky. Prices are staggeringly cheap, so there’s nothing to stop you from ending (or starting) your night with a performance by the Sarajevo Philharmonic Orchestra (tickets from £4.50; nps.ba).

● Surrounded by peaks, Sarajevo is a prime snow-sport destination, but you don’t have to be a skier to enjoy the city at altitude. Mount Trebevic is accessible by a cable car that takes you 1,160m up the mountain, giving you access to hikes through the snow, unparalleled views and the abandoned Olympic bobsleigh track (£9 return; zicara.ba).

Advertisement

● Crane your neck as you walk the Tunel Spasa (aka the Tunnel of Hope). In a city so heavily damaged by the war, where walls remain marked with bulletholes and streets are filled with Sarajevo roses (craters from mortar explosions filled with red resin), the tunnel is a must. It’s 840m long and was constructed to smuggle food and supplies to the besieged city and to give people a route to escape; a small section is open to the public (£4.50; tunelspasa.ba).

● Mostar may be the more well-known half-day excursion, but the town of Travnik, 90 minutes’ drive northwest of Sarajevo and once the capital of Herzegovina, doesn’t have the crowds. With a more impressive mountain backdrop than Sarajevo, not to mention arguably superior cevapi, there’s plenty to fill a full day. Funky Tours will show you all the main sights, including the medieval Travnik fortress, and take you on a deep dive into the history of pigeon racing — a local obsession (from £52.50; funkytours.com).

The coolest neighbourhood

The central district of Mejtas has a fun vibe, great views and there’s an unusual way of getting there — along the “musical staircase” on Kaptol Street on which are a series of jukeboxes that can be activated as you climb. Snack on gourmet fast food and admire the art at Munchies on Cekalusa Street, now considered one of the trendiest eateries in town. For a more lavish sit-down vibe, head to Baoli for steak or Italian food (mains from £5.50; baoli.ba), then end the evening with cocktails at Que Pasa on Dzidzikovac Street.

Where to eat and drink

Nanina Kuhinja Eat like a local at Nana’s kitchen in this cosy corner of the Turkish quarter, watching the world pass by from a window seat. Traditional Bosnian fare is done well here; try the bey’s soup (chicken and vegetable) and assorted dolma (mains from £7; naninakuhinja.ba).

Zara iz Duvara As hinted at in the translation (“the Singing Nettle”), nettles are the star of the show here and found hiding in menu options such as nettle corn pie, and in shots of travarica (a local spirit). Unlike most Bosnian restaurants, this one has plenty of vegan and gluten-free options (mains from £7; thesingingnettle.com).

Cevabdzinica Zeljo Cevapi is Bosnia’s national dish, and with good reason. Succulent fingers of ground meat inside a piece of soft flatbread, often served with raw onions or sour cream. You can’t say you’ve visited Sarajevo without trying it, and this spot on Kundurdziluk Street in the old town is the place to get your fill (from £1.50).

Basca kod Ene For panoramic views of Sarajevo’s mountainous terrain, aim high. At night the lights at Basca kod Ene twinkle like stars and outdoor tables offer a ringside seat with a side of veal chops and pickled vegetables (mains from £4.50; basca.ba).

Art Kuca Sevdaha Coffee is a big part of Bosnian culture and this café, located in a fountain courtyard with sevdaha (Bosnian folk music) playing in the background, is the best place to order a dzezva (pot). It also has a little museum, with exhibitions celebrating Bosnian art (coffee from £1; art-kuca-sevdaha.business.site).

Bar Cava Drink like a local at Bar Cava, the hot spot for good cocktails and a great time. It’s located in a cosy nook of the old town, the eclectic decor has a homey feel and the extensive selection of local wine is not to be missed (glass of wine from £1.70; lacavasarajevo.com).

Where to stay

Hotel Story This modern hotel with 12 rooms, including family-size apartments, has the double advantage of being close to the action without breaking the bank. Tucked down a side street in the middle of the old town, it’s close to the best bars and restaurants: skip breakfast and try traditional cimbur (minced meat and poached eggs) at a nearby café (B&B doubles from £35; story-hotel.com).

Hotel Central Comfort and relaxation are key in this grand landmark hotel, which has an extensive lounge area and hotel spa with pool and sauna — a welcome refuge after a long day of sightseeing. Book the junior suite with private balcony to make the most of the stunning mountain views (room-only doubles from £70; hotelcentral.ba).

Swissotel If you’re looking for luxury, one of the 218 rooms here might be just the ticket. A spa, Fusion restaurant and large shopping mall next door all exude opulence. The restaurants and bars are all dry, so head into the city for a winter warmer (B&B doubles from £115; swissotel.com).

If you only do one thing . . .

Come within a whisker of history and stand in the footsteps of Franz Ferdinand’s assassin on an unassuming street corner, just off Latin Bridge.

Brother of BiH Minister was killed in the Capital of Serbia

Đorđe Mijatović, brother of the Vice President of the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Minister of Development and Entrepreneurship Vojin Mijatović, was killed yesterday in Belgrade, Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić confirmed to Blic TV.

As reported by the Belgrade media, Mijatović died after being beaten by hooligans in the children’s park in Voždovac.

Vojin Mijatović confirmed this news with a post on social networks, with which he said goodbye to his brother.

“Travel, my brother, to a more beautiful place. My younger brother was killed yesterday in Belgrade. Everything he would say now doesn’t make sense, because what happened certainly doesn’t make sense. And this is unfortunately an integral part of the game called life. My good people, thank you to everyone who calls, take care of yourself and the people around you,” he wrote briefly in an emotional message.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia announced today that members of the police in Belgrade are working intensively to find two, so far unknown, persons, who are suspected of having beaten a 40-year-old man, who died in the Emergency Center.

As it was reported, the police went to the scene of the incident immediately following the report, yesterday at 6:20 p.m., that two people had beaten a 40-year-old man in a park in Voždovac.

Members of the MUP are working intensively on establishing all the facts and circumstances, as well as finding suspects.

The body was transported to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for an autopsy, the statement added.

Bestselling Author Sebastian Junger on PTSD, Mortality, and His Near-Death Experience in Truro

After writing about shipwrecks, war, and a serial killer, the Belmont native and  Perfect Storm storyteller's latest book delves into something completely new: nearly dying on the Cape.

Y ou might assume the scariest moment of Belmont native Sebastian Junger’s life happened while he was a war correspondent in Bosnia or Afghanistan. You’d be wrong. Most famous for writing The Perfect Storm —a journalistic account of a doomed Gloucester fishing boat that was made into a movie starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg—this week, the author and Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker is releasing In My Time of Dying , a book about his 2020 brush with death from a ruptured aneurysm at his Truro home. Before his book tour brings him to Gloucester City Hall’s Kyrouz Auditorium on May 23 and Cambridge Public Library on June 25, Junger spoke to us about war, fatherhood, and grappling with the afterlife.

Was it difficult to write about something so intensely personal in your new book?

Yes. It was incredibly traumatic. I waited a couple of years. I couldn’t have written about it immediately afterward. Writing about the medical stuff was weirdly fascinating and not that upsetting. What was hard was writing about the psychological consequences, which were pretty debilitating. I had anxiety disorder and depression, and I’m not prone to either. I really didn’t recognize myself. And writing about that was hard, but I love the process of writing so much. When I find the perfect words to capture something, there’s such an intoxication that it sort of overrides my discomfort.

If you could boil it down to just one thing, what do you hope people take away from the book?

That none of us knows for sure that this won’t be the last day of our lives, so what are you going to do with it? If you live like that, you’ll have, in all likelihood, a good life and will act well toward others.

Going back a couple of decades to your first book— The Perfect Storm wasn’t exactly what you set out to write, was it?

No. Originally, I was going to do a collection of essays on dangerous jobs, but my agent convinced me to focus on one story. I wrote a piece for Outside magazine about the storm and the Andrea Gail , and my agent said, “Listen, I sold that magazine article as a book,” and it was like they called my bluff. I had no idea how, as a journalist, I would fill in this whole narrative where we really don’t know what happened to the boat. I didn’t know how I was going to manage that, but I found some salvation in The Hot Zone by Richard Preston . He used this really cool technique where he would say to the reader, “So-and-so may have been thinking this or may have been looking at the sunset, but what we do know is that by morning, he was dead.” It’s totally honest. He’s not fictionalizing anything, but he’s able to fill in some narrative gaps that otherwise we just don’t have information about. Conjecture is fine, as long as you call it that.

Were you surprised by its success?

I mean, if I can be totally honest, I thought I’d written a really good book and that, in a reasonable world, it would be a bestseller. [Chuckles.] Many authors think that, right? I was using journalistic standards that I got from writers I admired, like John McPhee and Peter Matthiessen, sort of using them as benchmarks. But I was utterly unprepared for the level of success it had. It never occurred to me that it’d be that big, but then, I didn’t know anything about publishing, either.

Have any of your other books come about as serendipitously?

Well, my next full-length book was A Death in Belmont , which hinges on the fact that the man who confessed to being the Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, worked for my family as a carpenter during the time when he was killing people. So that was serendipity in a way, right? That story was in my family for a long time, and then I thought, “Okay, maybe I’m going to re-investigate that.” DeSalvo was in our house in Belmont and had to drive by the house of one of the murder victims to get home every day. In the end, I had to write a book that didn’t come to a definite conclusion. It says, “Okay, you’re the jury. What do you think?” Because I don’t know. It was very, very hard to make that ambiguity dramatic or fulfilling.

Did you watch the movie Boston Strangler ?

No. I don’t watch a lot of stuff. I don’t even have a TV.

What adjective would you use to describe your career?

I don’t know if I could come up with one word, but I would say that I’ve always worked on things that were so interesting to me that I would do that work for free. These stories are just so compelling to me. They’re central to my interest in the world and my sense of myself. That I get paid for that and can make a living off it is just an insane miracle.

Why did you decide to become a war correspondent?

I went off to Bosnia in 1993, before The Perfect Storm was published, because I was tired of cutting trees, which is what I’d been doing. I’d cut my leg with a chainsaw high up in a tree, and I thought, Well, that’s not going to be the last injury I’ll get doing this . Anyway, I went off to Sarajevo. I’d heard that freelancers could go there and pick up assignments, and I could do a kind of quasi-journalism school, and I totally fell in love with it. I fell in love with many things about it, but one was just a sense of meaning, like, “Wow! The world’s pain and drama are unfolding right here around me, in front of my eyes, and I’m one of a fairly limited number of people who are telling everyone else in the world about it.” It totally addicted me, and it wasn’t the adrenaline or the stakes involved, though they do put an edge on things. It was a sense that I have a small but meaningful place in the world.

How did you guard against PTSD?

Well, it’s like, how do you guard against grief if your wife dies? You don’t. It’s just a psychological process, how your body finds its way to health after something really painful.

In your book Tribe , you examine why some soldiers feel a longing for combat or at least the camaraderie of it.

People are inevitably drawn to community. American soldiers come back from a deployment where they’re in a platoon; they’re in close proximity to 30 or 40 other people and function as a unit. It has all the elements of a tribal group. And they lose that when they come back to society. If it were a healthy society, they’d be rejoining other close communities, but we’re a highly technological, mechanized society where there’s nothing to be part of. For some pretty compelling evolutionary reasons, that’s terrifying. Humans do not survive by themselves. They die. Part of PTSD is often the transition back into a situation where you don’t feel safe, because no one needs you. You’re not part of anything. There’s no primate that likes that, including humans.

Why did you choose to be a contributing editor covering war for Vanity Fair over, say, the New York Times or any number of other publications? It seems like they do best with glamorous subjects, not necessarily serious ones.

I wanted to reach those readers. They were the people who, in my grandiose opinion at the time, needed to think more seriously about the world. The New York Times and the New Yorker , etc., were already doing that. But before [editor in chief] Graydon Carter reached out, it would never have crossed my mind. He said, “Look. We can pay you well. We can give you a huge platform. And you can do anything you want.” I wouldn’t have gotten that at any other publication. And it might be the glitz and the beauty that gets someone to pick up the magazine, but if I could bring Kosovo to that person, and they think, “I’ve gotta do something about that….”

Best movie about war?

It’s hard to come up with just one. There was an amazing movie that came out right after World War II called The Best Years of Our Lives . It’s about veterans coming home, and you think the title is ironic. You just assume it’s like, “They stole the best years of our lives from us.” And then you realize these guys don’t want to go home. It’s a profound, amazing movie of the era.

How did you feel about The Perfect Storm as a movie?

It was a $120 million Hollywood production, and it had all the pleasures and delights and deficits of that. It was enormously fun to watch it, and it was extremely respectful of Gloucester and the fishing community in general, for which I’m eternally grateful. But, you know, you’re very aware you’re watching George Clooney. You never lose sight of that essential. [Laughs.]

Did you attend the Oscars when you were nominated for Best Documentary?

Yeah, of course, I went to the Oscars for Restrepo .

Was it fun or uncomfortable? I’ve heard people say they’ve never had to pee so badly, because they’re in a car for four hours to drive two blocks.

It was everything. It was surreal. For the uninitiated, Hollywood at Oscar time is just another planet. Everything about it is so over the top. It’s fun for a blur of 30 seconds, and then you’re out the other side.

You’ve written in some pretty horrific conditions. Can you write just about anywhere, or do you have to have things a certain way?

As a journalist, you’re constantly taking notes in a field notebook. I don’t have a smartphone. I have a flip phone. I don’t take notes digitally, ever. So I write things down, and sometimes the notes approach a level of elegance that’s almost prose. Not always. Often, it’s just scratching out information. But the short answer is yes. I can sit down on a rock after a firefight and write a pretty good paragraph about what that felt like. As for the actual end product of a book or a magazine article? That’s invariably done at home at my desk, and if there’s a jackhammer outside, I can deal with that. That’s not difficult for me. My wife remembers I was editing a draft of a chapter while standing up at a kitchen counter, holding our six-month-old, who was crying. So yeah, I can get it done.

Most scared you’ve ever been?

I’ve had moments of considerable fear. Once, in Nigeria, someone told me that he was going to kill me, and he had the ability to. I was completely in his power. And in Sierra Leone, there was a similar situation. But real fear was after I had the aneurysm rupture, there was some speculation by the doctors that I had pancreatic cancer. I spent a summer where I didn’t even recognize myself. I was so scared.

You’ve always said that you’re an atheist. Did the ruptured aneurysm change your belief in God, religion, or the afterlife in any way?

With God and religion, I’m still an atheist, and a damned atheist, if you will. But when that happened, I saw my father. I didn’t see God. I didn’t see Jesus. I saw my dad, which made me think that maybe the human brain’s pretty creative in its hallucinations or that at some subatomic level, the way reality works and the way life and death relate to each other is something we really don’t and maybe aren’t capable of understanding. And that after we die physically, there is some lingering, quantum information involving that person that we just don’t understand. I’m sounding vague and clumsy because, of course, these are unknowable things. But as an atheist, it made me think it’s possible that we know nothing. There’s a line in my book that we may have the same understanding of reality that a dog has of a television screen.
