Sarajevo

Compared to the happy, party atmosphere of Belgrade, Sarajevo is a sobering reminder of the very recent past. Much of the city has been repaired, but any building that hasn't been re-plastered is still covered with bullet and shrapnel holes. Once known throughout the Roman and Ottoman empires as a paradise of flowing fountains, the name Sarajevo is now synonymous with brutal ethnic conflict, from the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and the ensuing destruction of the first world war to the 1994 siege by Bosnian Serbs. Still, Bosnia-Hercegovina is more than ready for tourists. We wished we had passed through when it was a little warmer to enjoy the beautiful nature and bucolic villages.

A very confrontational version of Christianity:

Sarajevska brewery!
