Top story from Sarajevo Start in Baščaršija where the scent of fresh somun drifts from ovens and the call to prayer rolls across the square. Walk to Latin Bridge to place a moment in history, then ride the cable car to Trebević for a wide view over red roofs and the river before a short forest path by the old bobsleigh track. Later, take a calm hour in a café with tufahija or head to the Tunnel of Hope museum for clear context on recent events.
