For only €64 a night including breakfast, I couldn't resist spending my only night in Sarajevo at such an historic hotel. After storing my bag at the hotel reception, I headed out for a walk through the city.

Some of the buildings still had damage from the war over 20 years ago.


The stylized snowflake logo of the 1984 Winter Olympics on the pavement.


Men playing chess in Trg oslobođenja (Liberation Square), that is dedicated to Alija Izetbegović. Izetbegović became the first President of the newly-independent Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992.


Outside Gradska tržnica (City market).


And some tasty and interesting local food for sale inside.


Vječna vatra, a memorial to the victims of the Second World War in Sarajevo. The city was occupied for four years during the war by by Nazi Germany and the fascist Independent State of Croatia.


Outside the Sarajevo National Theatre for the meet up point for the Sarajevo walking tour.
