In my experience, any city can be well visited in two full days.
Depending on the type of visit you want to make.
I am doing the visits on this itinerary, not counting the paid entrance fees, as there are usually a lot of queues and it depends a lot on the style of your trip.
For those who really like museums, climbing monuments, etc., you should add another day or reduce the number of attractions to be visited.
However, in Sarajevo it is possible to do everything in two days, so everything is very close.
First Day: Visit the city’s attractions
As there are not many attractions and they are very close, I left it a little closer to 10 am.
The first point was the Latin Bridge, where the First World War began.
Following the Miljacka River towards Sarajevo City Hall, passing several mansions on the riverbank.
After the visit, continue to a small dam on the river, exploring the place.
Cross the River using one of the bridges and pass through the square where there is #SARAJEVO in front of the city hall.
Going down the river, you pass the Latin bridge and soon find Mejdan park with its music pavilion and then pass a green and yellow building with strange architecture and the Ashkenazi Synagogue.
Continuing down the river you reach the Festina Bridge in front of the Academy of Fine Arts.
A little further and you reach the Skenderija Bridge, which is a modern bridge located near the Skenderija Convention Center. Built to connect the banks of the Miljacka River, this bridge is characterized by its contemporary design.
Cross the bridge and continue for about 300 meters to Ali Pasha’s Mosque.
Now turning towards the center, you pass through Veliki Park, where you can rest and enjoy some of the city’s greenery.
Another 400 meters and you reach Sarajevo’s Eternal Flame and the city center.
Taking the street to the right you soon reach the Cathedral Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos.
We are in the city center and the restaurants and shops are in this region.
I went to the Baščaršija neighborhood, which is about 600 meters away, as it has the best typical food restaurants in the city.
On recommendation, I went to the Ćevabdžinica Petica Ferhatović restaurant to eat Cevapi. It was great.
I spent the rest of the afternoon wandering the streets of the neighborhood, enjoying the sweets, ice cream, and tourist attractions.
At night:
The center creates new life at night, cafes and restaurants fill up in addition to the streets full of tourists and locals.
Later, those who like nightclubs and noisy bars have a huge number of options.
Second day: Mount Trebević
Although the weather forecast was not good for the afternoon, a beautiful day dawned, and I took the cable car to climb Mount Trebevic.
The intention was to go down the trail if the weather helped, but as soon as we went up, the weather was getting worse.
The climb up the cable car is very easy and quick (10 minutes). It costs US$10.00.
I downloaded the SOAR app, with all the trails near Sarajevo, so it’s safer.
I started at the abandoned bobsled track, went halfway and using the map I took the other trails, it was a very peaceful walk, there are a lot of ups and downs, but I’m used to it.
For those who are not there, it is better to take a walk at the top and just take the abandoned trail when going down.
I was lucky that the weather improved, and I was able to hike more trails, but the weather turned bad, and I was able to take the cable car down before the rain.
It was just time to get to the restaurant, and it rained all afternoon.
