Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, known for its rich history and blend of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and modern influences. The city is set in a valley surrounded by mountains, with distinct neighbourhoods, historic old town streets, and varied architecture. The Miljacka River runs through the centre of Sarajevo, shaping much of the city’s layout and crossing it via numerous bridges. It adds a defining natural element to the urban landscape, especially through the historic core.
