Must Try
Sač

Must visit location in the heart of the city. Freshly made pita sold by the gram. About 300g is a perfect portion. Try the Zeljanica with jogurt (Spinach pita).

Coffee and Desserts
In Sarajevo, coffee is more than a drink; it's a cherished tradition known as "čejf." This cultural experience is about taking time to relax, share moments with friends, and appreciate life's simple pleasures. Coffee houses create an inviting atmosphere for leisurely conversations, while traditional baklava adds a delightful touch of sweetness to the occasion. For a different indulgence, hookah lounges offer a unique and relaxing setting. This is the locals' way of savoring coffee, baklava, and hookah, all wrapped in the essence of "čejf."
