About Sarajevo for Solo Travelers

The city where four faiths share one skyline and a 1990s siege left bullet holes that locals turned into flower-filled pots — Sarajevo's extraordinary resilience, culture, and food make it one of Europe's most moving solo destinations.

Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Sarajevo is one of Europe's most culturally layered and profoundly moving solo destinations — the old Baščaršija bazaar, the Tunnel of Hope (used during the 1992–95 siege), and the Sarajevo War Tunnel Museum are extraordinary solo experiences that few other cities in the world can match. The city is genuinely safe, the food (ćevapi, burek) is outstanding and cheap, and Bosniaks are among Europe's most hospitable people.

Ćevabdžinica Petica

Food & Drink

The most celebrated ćevapi restaurant in Sarajevo — handmade minced lamb and beef sausages grilled over charcoal and served in a somun (flatbread) with raw onion and kajmak (clotted cream). This is the national dish of Bosnia; no amount of description prepares you for the first bite at a proper Sarajevo ćevabdžinica.
