This food tour takes you away from the old town and into the Grbavica neighborhood, where real life takes place in Sarajevo.
You’ll taste 6 authentic Bosnian dishes in full portions – enough to replace a full meal. The restaurants visited are not tourist places, but where locals eat.
At the same time, you will get insights that go beyond food : you will move through a residential district, visit local meeting places and also pass the Grbavica Stadium – a place of great emotional and historical significance for Sarajevo.
Thanks to the small group size (maximum 8 people), a personal atmosphere is created, which makes it possible to visit places that are inaccessible to larger groups.
This tour is less of a classic food tour – and feels more like an afternoon exploring Sarajevo through food with a local friend.
