Packed with plenty of architectural gems from different eras, ranging from pre-Ottoman, Ottoman, Mediterranean and Western European architectural elements, the city is a feast for the eyes. Walk across the town’s indisputable star, Stari Most, also commonly known as Old Bridge, and revel in the moment as the pale stone arch cast a sweeping reflection on the river beneath. This afternoon, be prepared for a fusion of east meets west in Sarajevo, the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A city that had risen from the ashes time and time again from its tumultuous times throughout history, its rejuvenated historic centre is filled with spired minarets, bustling bazaars and a certain buzz about town. Stroll down the cobbled streets of Bascarsija, founded by the Ottomans in the 15th century, and you may think that you have landed in Turkey! Explore Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and the ruins of the 1984 Winter Olympics site, before visiting Tunnel Museum to experience the life of the besieged during the war. This afternoon, try Bosnian coffee and shop for traditional and handcrafted wares at your own leisure. Celebrate a wonderful trip this evening with your travel companions at a Farewell Dinner.
