Begin at the City Hall (Vijećnica), Sarajevo's most striking Austro-Hungarian landmark. Opened in 1896 in a pseudo-Moorish style, it later served as the national library. Start your Ciceru audio story here.

Wander down Kazandžiluk, the coppersmiths' street, where artisans have hammered and engraved copper goods by hand for centuries. The ringing of their tools is one of the oldest sounds of the old bazaar.

Admire the Sebilj, the ornate wooden fountain at the heart of Baščaršija square. A symbol of Sarajevo, it stands among the pigeons as one of the city's most photographed spots.

Explore Baščaršija, Sarajevo's 15th-century Ottoman bazaar and old town. Its lanes are lined with workshops, coffee houses and market stalls, and it remains the lively cultural centre of the city.

Step into Morića Han, a restored Ottoman-era inn (han) from the 16th century that once sheltered caravans and traders. Today its courtyard holds shops and a café in the heart of the bazaar.

Pause at the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, completed in 1531 and the largest historical mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its courtyard and fountain anchor the religious life of the old town.

Stop at the Latin Bridge, an Ottoman-era stone bridge over the Miljacka river. It is best known as the site of the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the event that helped trigger the First World War.

See the Ferhadija Mosque, a 16th-century Ottoman mosque, as the route moves along Ferhadija street, the lively pedestrian artery where Ottoman Sarajevo meets the Austro-Hungarian quarter.

Reach the Ashkenazi Synagogue on the Miljacka riverbank, built in 1902 in a Moorish-revival style. It is Sarajevo's only active synagogue and a reminder of the city's long Jewish heritage.

Finish near the Bistrik Railway Station, a 1906 Austro-Hungarian-era station once part of Sarajevo's narrow-gauge line. It marks the end of your self-guided walk through the city's layered history.
