The 50 best shopping and stores in Sarajevo (2024)

One of the most fascinating places I have ever seen. The old town of Sarajevo, full of small shops, crafters, restaurants, cafes; a pedestrian paradise, full of life from eraly morning to late night, where everything is tidy, inviting, beautiful. While walking, you can breathe the history of Sarajevo, and experience the astounding balance and mixture of cultures, colors, religions. Just go there,and see!!

THE reason for visiting Sarajevo. Magic atmosphere among shops, cafes, restaurants, workshops and places of worship. A piece of history preserved to help us understand the culture.

A must visit! It turns you back to the old Times. So many little things to buy (recommendations for the local sweets, brass coffee pots and teacups). The cafes usually do not have restrums, so go to the public toilet of you must (around 50cents). There Is a large parking area (around 1Eur per hour), but very very crowded. There Is "gradska tržnica" nearby (walk to the "new" Part of town) which Is a enclosed market place in An old building where you can buy all sorta delicious domestic meet and dairy products!

A wonderful historical place with artisan shops and tradition. Lots of handmade products from artisans. Old houses, religious buildings, shops are worth a visit to see the old tradition that is cherished. Home made sweets that you won't find anywhere else

The major makets located in old town. Shops selling their local hand made copper and tin products, to coffee shops selling the typical Bosnian coffee to shesha pipe cafes where you can have a coffee and a shesha. lots of touristy shops and all really well priced. lots of local restaurants to try out too.

Fascinating area, full of cevapi restaurants and Bosniak architecture, also full of tourists and souvenir shops! Obviously tourism can be a bit overwhelming here in the day, but if you come when it's quieter in the early morning / evening it's a different atmosphere with locals enjoying the food and you can wander the street to take in the incredible atmosphere it has. Doing the tram around the loop is also recommended, although you really need to walk the streets to experience the sights and smells of the area properly!

This is one of the entrances, from many to the old market "maze" where you can find tons of different little stores selling from hand craft pieces to the modern Bosnian coffee cups and coffee pots. Definitely a place to visit when in Sarajevo, just beautiful!

Baščaršija is one of the most colorful places in Sarajevo, full of Balkan and oriental vibes, with the iconic Sebilj wooden fountain. Turkish-style artisan shops are full of things, that cannot be bought anywhere else in Europe. And the traditional Bosnian Coffee tastes great.

Very interesting m and historic place with lots of good shopping and restaurants and everybody I spoke to spoke English.Unfortunately just like the rest of Sarajevo there are a lot of very persistent beggars that will come back multiple times even after giving money.

Basically, this is the oldish part of Sarajevo, where the market was held. Honestly, this is also the part of the city I prefer most!! Beautiful during the day and even more during the nights, where the crowds disappear. You may need an entire day to visit its markets, mosques and taste their delicious food.

Wow! My wife and I have been traveling around the world, but this old kind of bazaar it’s magical. Picturesque, curious, safe and so fun to walk. If like photography, this is the right place. We’ve been here 3 times and we still discovering new places. I highly recommend the restaurant Dveri and of course, a good coffee at Fabrika Coffee.

Fantastic! Ottoman history in the heart of Europe. Unique experience.

Hard to find parking here. But its ok. Me and ma wife had lunch here. Restaurant very close from the centre of tower. Its cost RM96.

Tradition, culture, tasty food, architecture, religion, lots of people, spiritual atmosphere, hospitality... All in one! Simply love it!

My favourite place in Sarajevo. Beautiful bazaar and lots of small restaurants to enjoy a nice food or cold beer 🍻 😁. The only thing I didn’t really like was the constant amount of women asking for money.

Strolling through the cobbled streets of Baščaršija, I was enveloped by the rich tapestry of Sarajevo’s history.This old bazaar, the heart of Sarajevo’s cultural and historical identity, resonated with the echoes of artisans and traders from centuries past.The air was thick with the aroma of freshly ground coffee and grilled ćevapi, a tantalizing invitation to indulge in the local cuisine. The vibrant marketplace buzzed with activity, as locals and tourists alike haggled over intricately designed copperware and handwoven textiles.Each corner of Baščaršija revealed a new treasure.The Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque stood majestically, its minaret piercing the sky, a reminder of the Ottoman influence that shaped the city’s skyline. The call to prayer mingled with the chatter of the crowd, a harmonious blend of the sacred and the everyday.As I wandered, I found myself lost in time, imagining the stories that each ancient building could tell.The Sebilj fountain, a wooden kiosk in the heart of the square, offered a moment of reflection and a cool respite from the afternoon sun.Baščaršija is more than just a historical site; it is a living, breathing part of Sarajevo that continues to thrive. It stands as a symbol of resilience, having withstood the test of time and conflict, yet remaining a place of communal gathering and shared experiences.Leaving Baščaršija, I carried with me not just souvenirs, but memories of a place where history is not just preserved, but actively lived, a crossroad of cultures and a beacon of Sarajevo’s enduring spirit.

Old town square with lots of small stores, souvenirs, and monuments from osman empire. Fildzan kava (type of turkish coffe) is a must there. Also cevapi for eating part.

Loved this place, historical places, mosques and nice shops. Though the giftshops are a little bit expensive😏

Essence of the city. The most beautiful part. It is small and easily explorable by walking

You can’t get any feeling for history here unless perhaps hiding in the mosque. It’s full of tourist souvenir shops ( though also some beautiful clothing and jewellery stores) and people gorging themselves with food all around you. There is virtually nobody looking inside the mosque or the brilliant National Museum. It’s all eating and shopping.

Amazing place. Highly recommend visiting. Great coffee shops serving Bosnian Coffee, lots of fake handbag shops, some great bars and some awesome restaurants.

Theis is the old part ot the city, the most charming and cozy place full multicultural life.My preferred area in Sarajevo with lots of bazaars, restaurants and many options to enjoy the city and the wonderful sourvenirs and handicrafts.This is a must in Sarajevo.

Nice place for walk. A bustling market from the 15th century, with restaurants, shops and various cultural attractions
