Description
Hammering copper, making brushes, snacking on baklava: Discover Sarajevo's crafts with a local guide, from Ottoman coppersmiths to UNESCO-protected Bosnian woodcarving.
With an experienced guide, you will stroll through the craft streets of Sarajevo's Old Town, Baščaršija, and meet the people who keep the city's craft traditions alive. And you’ll get to try your hand at it yourself: You’ll hammer out your own souvenir at a traditional coppersmith’s, and you’ll make your own brush at the last brush maker in the Balkans.
What would a tour of Sarajevo be without a sweet treat? Your guide will take you to a shop where Sarajevo baklava has been made for generations according to a secret family recipe. This baklava is not available anywhere else!
You will also get to know the UNESCO-recognized woodcarving art from Konjic, with its unique floral patterns, and have the opportunity to try your hand at it and feel like a woodcarver yourself.
This tour is private and interactive, and you will have plenty of time and opportunity to ask all your questions. Your guide will be happy to recommend other craft shops or Bosnian designers.
At the end of the tour, you will go home with two pieces you have made yourself and a newfound appreciation for Sarajevo's crafts and local artists.
