Sarajevo Travel Guide
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a population of 345,549. It is an inland city in the Balkans, set in a mountainous part of the country rather than on the coast.
Most international visitors arrive through Sarajevo International Airport (SJJ), the city’s listed airport. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres, so Sarajevo is better suited to a city and mountain-based trip than a beach holiday.
