Tunnel of Hope Tour

We'll meet at the indicated time at Zelenih Beretki 30, and then we'll head towards a significant location in the capital.

The road will take us through Sniper Avenue, a highly dangerous area during the war. Then we'll pass by the Markale market, site of one of the major massacres during the siege of Sarajevo.

We will also see the Presidency building and the RTV Dom, which provided information during national emergencies. As we navigate the city, we'll discuss the design of the communist neighborhoods and their reflection on Sarajevo's contemporary history.

Upon reaching the Sarajevo Tunnel, located 5 meters (16 feet) underground and built in 1993, we will learn how this 800-metre-long passage served as a crucial escape route during the war. The tunnel provided essential supplies and a connection to the outside world, and at the museum, we will uncover its construction secrets and hear stories from survivors. It is notable that masks were necessary to traverse the tunnel due to insufficient ventilation.

Finally, we will return to the meeting point and conclude the 2.5-hour tour.
