Traditional Sweet Dishes
Baklava
Sarajevo baklava keeps the Ottoman pastry tradition alive, layered with flaky phyllo and chopped walnuts, and it is a staple at celebrations and coffeehouses in Baščaršija.
Tufahija
Tufahija is a whole apple poached in syrup, stuffed with walnuts and topped with whipped cream, and it often serves as the showpiece dessert at Bosnian family feasts.
Hurmašice
Hurmašice literally means "little dates", they are small, syrup-soaked semolina cookies beloved for pairing with Bosnian coffee.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Cevapi
Cevapi are small grilled minced meat sausages served in warm somun with chopped onions and creamy kajmak, and Sarajevo is famous for long lines at iconic ćevabdžinicas.
Burek
In Bosnia, the word burek refers strictly to the meat-filled phyllo pie. Other fillings have their own names, and locals take pride in the distinction.
Begova Čorba
Begova čorba, or Bey's soup, is a thick, velvety chicken or veal soup enriched with rice and sometimes okra. It traces back to Ottoman court cuisine and was once served to regional governors.
Traditional Beverages
Bosnian coffee
Bosnian coffee is brewed unfiltered in a džezva and poured slowly so the grounds settle. Serving it is a ritual of hospitality, and many people read the grounds for fun.
Rakija
Rakija is a potent fruit brandy distilled at home from plums, grapes, or other fruits. It is used to welcome guests, seal agreements, and toast life's moments.

Loved the mix of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture, food was incredible, friendly people, expect hills.
Buy a 24 hour tram ticket at kiosks by the stops, validate on board. Way cheaper than singles if you hop around.
Three days hit the sweet spot, museums are compact and interesting, nightlife is chill and mostly local bars.
A bit overhyped for me, lots of souvenir stalls and construction in the old town, still worth a stroll though.
Weather in April was wild, one sunny afternoon then rain and wind the next, pack layers and a light waterproof.
