Discover Sarajevo through its flavours, traditions and centuries-old crafts on a three-hour journey through the heart of the Old Town. This experience is more than a food tour, it is an introduction to Sarajevo’s culture, everyday life and warm hospitality.

Meet your licensed local guide in Baščaršija and begin at Poričanin Bakery, a hidden local gem and one of the city’s most beloved traditional bakeries. Taste freshly baked Bosnian specialities and discover why this simple neighbourhood bakery has become a true Sarajevo institution.

Continue through Kovači and the narrow streets of the Old Town, where every corner has its own story. As you walk, your guide will share local legends, family traditions and stories about how Sarajevo’s cuisine developed through Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Balkan influences.

Explore Kazandžiluk, the famous coppersmith street, where the sound of hammers still fills the air as artisans create traditional coffee sets, trays and decorative objects by hand. Walk through Bravadžiluk, Čizmedžiluk and Čurčiluk Mali, historic streets named after the crafts once practised there. Learn how Sarajevo’s craftsmen lived, worked and helped shape the character of the city.

Food tastings are carefully selected to introduce you to the diversity of Bosnian cuisine. Enjoy tasting portions of traditional savoury dishes, freshly baked pastries, local drinks and sweet specialities. Your guide will explain the ingredients, preparation methods and customs connected with each item, including how and when locals usually enjoy them.

Pass through Gazi Husrev-bey Street, one of the liveliest parts of Baščaršija, and continue towards Ferhadija, where the Ottoman Old Town meets Sarajevo’s Austro-Hungarian centre. This unique transition reveals how different cultures, religions and architectural styles have existed side by side for generations.

Complete the experience with traditional baklava in Baščaršija. Take a moment to enjoy its rich flavour while surrounded by the sights, sounds and aromas of Sarajevo’s historic centre.
