Why Go

Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics in 1984; eight years later the bobsleigh track became a front line, used by Serb artillery during the siege. Today its concrete curves wind through the woods, covered in street art, and the cable car up Trebević, rebuilt in 2018, has views over the whole city.
