You begin on a cool stone street in Baščaršija, Sarajevo’s old bazaar, where the city’s layered history feels like footsteps echoing off walls. The Miljacka River cuts the bowl of the valley below, nudging the city forward as you step toward the Jewish Museum housed in a 16th‑century synagogue. Here a short film about the Sarajevo Haggadah sets the tone: a medieval manuscript that survived exile, empire and war.
