Nestled in the heart of the Balkan Peninsula, Sarajevo is the capital and cultural hub of Bosnia and Herzegovina. With a population of approximately 275,000 in its administrative area and a wider metropolitan region of over 550,000 residents, it stands as the country’s most dynamic and historically rich city. Surrounded by the majestic Dinaric Alps and bisected by the Miljacka River, Sarajevo’s stunning geography adds to its unique charm.

The city’s name originates from the Turkish word “saray”, meaning palace or mansion, with historical records dating back to the Ottoman period. Some scholars believe the suffix “-evo” may signify a possessive form in Slavic languages, translating to “city of the palace.” Others suggest it derives from the Ottoman term “saray ovası”, meaning “palace plains”, reflecting its early settlement near a royal residence.

Sarajevo is more than just the political and economic center of Bosnia and Herzegovina—it is a melting pot of cultures, religions, and traditions. The city has long been a beacon of multicultural coexistence, earning it the title “Jerusalem of Europe.” It remains one of the rare places where you can find a mosque, Catholic church, Orthodox church, and synagogue all within the same neighborhood.

With a vibrant art scene, rich history, and deep-rooted traditions, Sarajevo continues to be a symbol of resilience, cultural fusion, and timeless beauty in the heart of the Balkans.
