About this tour
This session walks the preserved section of the Sarajevo Tunnel, dug beneath the airport runway to supply the city during the 1992-96 siege. You see the entrance and then the narrow preserved stretch itself, explained against the scale of what the tunnel had to carry each day. It is one of the most direct ways to understand the siege's daily reality.
We move through the tunnel stop by stop, keeping the tone measured given the subject, and take questions throughout rather than rushing the walk. A short list of names and dates follows once the session ends.
It suits visitors who want Sarajevo's recent history explained carefully and directly. It also suits anyone who has already walked the old town and wants a fuller picture of the 1990s.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
