Stari Grad is the old town center of Sarajevo and within Stari Grad you will find Baščaršija, the inner old town and the remnant of the Ottoman Empire.
The busy Ferhadija (pedestrian) Street in Sarajevo.
They say that Sarajevo is the ‘Damascus of the North’ and the ‘European Jerusalem’. I couldn't agree more. In the same neighbourhood, we found a mosque, a synagogue, a Catholic Church and an Orthodox Church. We didn't get to visit a mosque and a synagogue but we were able to check out an Orthodox Church and even attended a mass at the Catholic Cathedral.
Connecting Baščaršija in the east to Stari Grad and Center, which is the newer part of Sarajevo, is the Ferhadija Street.
