About
クイックファクト: Carved wood and stone wrap around an octagonal basin, the cool, running water inviting visitors to cup their hands and drop a wishful coin. Local lore insists anyone who sips from the fountain will return someday, and photographers flock at golden hour for the warm reflections on the wet stone.
ハイライト: Locals and sellers often encourage visitors to toss a coin and make a whispered wish, and many say that the clear clink of exactly three coins means you will return within a year. Under the small wooden kiosk the air smells faintly of old cedar and wet stone, and the water splashes over a carved spout with a cool, slightly metallic tang you can feel on your tongue when you cup your hand to drink.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, cobbles around Baščaršija are uneven.
- Best photo angles are from the nearby Sebilj square steps or the Miljacka river bridge for reflections.
- Avoid midday on weekends when tour groups crowd the fountain, aim for early morning or after 6 pm.
- Sample spring water from the spouts, but buy sealed bottled water if unsure about hygiene.
