Sarajevo Old Town

Sarajevo is a big city but to walk through but the streets seem quite the opposite, since the center consists of narrow alleys, although long they are more reminiscent of a small town. There is a main street right in the center and is where the rest of lanes depart. This road is completely paved and has great charm because it is always crowded, there are souvenir shops and the tourist office, but it has a fairly limited schedule and we never got to find it open. If this happens to you I recommend you buy a small City Guide at any kiosk, but they usually only have them in English and Italian. In summer the streets are packed with terraces where you can relax while enjoying the movement that usually takes place at all times.

On my trip to Bosnia, Sarajevo was a stop that we made for a number of nights, had there are many reasons to visit this city marked by the history of the 20th century and their conflicts, but also for being a lively, youthful city who hosted a Winter Olympics. The old city is great for a tourist, they can wander around cobblestone streets, mosques that blend in with the churches, low wooden houses, crowded cafes that give an air of a big city and are very warm, trams , see with your eyes the wrongs of human history, next to the Miljacka river that crosses the city. I arrived to this town coming

In a photography practicum with Kvlar photojournalists, an incredible experience, walking through the old streets of the ancient city of Sarajevo, I was compelled to take a picture of the far side of the city, its dark past of injustice and violence of war, hidden in a alley of the city where a puddle reflects the past agony. In one of the busiest zones in Sarajevo, is a monument that is reminiscent of the in solitude of Muslims, where at night there is an amazing light that contrasts with heaven and the Minaret of one of the mosques in the zone.
