Four tips for a more complete experience of Sarajevo
Let us give you some useful tips to make your stay in Sarajevo as pleasant as possible:
1. Intimacy among people is completely acceptable in Sarajevo. So locals who have just met you can ask questions about work, family or marital status, which in some other areas could be considered extremely personal questions. Also, don’t surprise by frequent shoulder straps, grunts, and kissing as a sign of greetings.
2. Coffee in Sarajevo is a good idea at any time of the day. Drinking coffee is a kind of ritual and it is a reason for the gathering of friends, or family and conversation. If someone invite you to their home, expect that the host will first offer you coffee. It is customary to take off shoes at the entrance, when entering the house. Also, it’s a nice habit to bring some nice gift to the host.
3. Remember that people in Sarajevo don’t include tips in the account amounts. We can advise you to leave a tip in gratitude for a good service. In cafes, the amount is rounded, while in restaurants, the tip of ten percent of the amount of the account is sufficient.
4. Religious buildings in Sarajevo are open to visitors, but you should be properly dressed during the visit. During visits to mosques, women should be in trousers or longer skirts, covered hands, and wear a scarf over their heads, and men should wear pants below their knees. When entering the mosque, it is obligatory to remove the shoes. Photographing in religious objects is not acceptable only at the time of prayer, while in all other circumstances taking pictures is permitted.

Belgrade is above all a modern city with population of about 2.5 million people. It is an administrative, political and cultural centre of the country. The sessions of Serbian parliament and government are being held here, and the office of the President is also in it. The buildings that host these institutions are themselves monuments of great cultural importance and therefore a part of every visitor’s itinerary.
The place where city is today has been inhabited from ancient times. One of the cities quarters, Vinca, is the home of prehistoric culture of the same name. Nowadays in it this part of the city you can find an archaeological site. This is perfect for all those interested in very distant history. After this period, many tribes and nations have lived in the area. The Celts have called their settlement Singidun but the Slavs named it “The White City”.
One city – many names
Since the Celts, Belgrade had names – Alba Bulgariae, Alabanandor, Nandoralba, Nandorfejervar, Griechisch Weissenburg, Alba Graeca, Castelbiancho, Singidunum… but the name of the fortress that, when looked at from the Pannonian side and the rivers appears white, remained until today: WHITE city (BEO grad – Belgrade).
All the people that have lived here and the armies that passed through the city have left their marks on the city, and the magnificent monument named “Victor”, the remains of the famous Kalemegdan fortress, the Stambol gate, the Old Palace and many other sites are inviting you to discover them.
The city never stops growing, and when it has crossed the river Sava, it became “new”. New Belgrade (Novi Beograd) is the center of Serbia’s business.
