Half-Day Grbavica and Malta Food Tour in a Small Group
Half-Day Grbavica and Malta Food Tour in a Small Group
This culinary tour takes you out of touristy Sarajevo, to where the locals live, work and spend their time - and of course we will stop at numerous typical Bosnian restaurants where we will taste local delicacies.Probably no other neighborhood in Sarajevo has such a turbulent history as Grbavica, which was not only shelled but also occupied by enemy troops during the siege of the city. Very slowly the inhabitants rebuilt their Grbavica after 1996 - now it is a lively district with many restaurants and cafes and a small green oasis in the midst of socialist architecture.

30 minutesVilsonovo šetalište
Your guide will take you back to Sarajevo City Center where the tour ends.
