About this tour
This session walks Baščaršija's morning market as the stalls open for the day. You see the produce stalls themselves, brought in from the surrounding countryside, then a small bakery where burek and other pastries are made fresh each morning. It shows a working, everyday side of the old town alongside its monuments.
We start among the stalls with a sound check, then move to the bakery for the second stop, taking questions about what is in season and how the pastries are made. A short list of what was on offer follows once we finish.
It suits anyone curious about everyday Sarajevo rather than only its history. It also suits an early booking, since the market is at its best before mid-morning.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Sarajevo, showing you The market stalls and A bakery stop live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
