About this tour
This session walks the Latin Bridge over the Miljacka river, the site of the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. You see the small stone bridge itself and then the riverside corner beside it, where a museum now marks the spot. It is a compact but pivotal piece of European history explained on location.
We start on the bridge with a sound check, then move to the corner for the second stop, taking questions about the event and its consequences. A short list of names and dates follows once the session ends.
It suits anyone with a specific interest in the events leading to the First World War. It also works well as a short, focused historical stop alongside a longer old town session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
