This is the name given to the Bazaar in the old part of Sarajevo. This precinct sustained significant damage during the war of the 1990s, however, has been lovingly restored to its former glory. Lots of little stores and lots of eateries.

This bazaar area is the very heart of the old town of Sarajevo. It has lots of shops and mosques, and the large square at the center is wonderful for people (and pigeon!) watching. It was fairly crowded and touristy when we visited, but it's still well worth seeing it and enjoying the streets and shops.

charming old town with Austrian and Turkish vibes. tons of hand crafted wares and local eats. worth a couple hours to walk around, snack and piddle. Recommend baklava at 'baklava ducan' and local grilled meat at 'cevabdzinic petica'

Walking around Bascarsija is like visiting Istanbul. So cosmopolitan with mosques, churches and synagogues within close distance of each other. Beautiful architecture displaying the Ottoman and Austro-Hungrian occupation and influence. This is a very special place with cobbled winding lanes leading to coffee houses, restaurants, shops selling fresh lokum and antiques. It is quite easy to lose a few hours exploring.
