Sarajevo Under Siege: Bridges, Tunnels, and Memory
This 2-day, full-day-depth walking audio journey traces Sarajevo’s modern history from the Latin Bridge and the 1914 assassination to the city’s annexation crisis, wartime occupation, and the 1992–1995 siege. Across 11 carefully chosen stops—including the Sarajevo Tunnel Museum in Butmir, Sniper Alley corridors in Novo Sarajevo, the Yellow Fortress views, and the shell-marked edge between ruin and rebuilt civic life—you’ll hear the human story of survival, improvisation, food, water, fear, and endurance without spectacle, only precision and gravity.
