Sarajevo
It was here that on 28 June 1914 the Austro-Hungarian heir Archduke Franz Ferdinand was murdered, an event that triggered the world war one and led to millions of casualities.
It was also here that during the 1990s the world witnessed the largest siege of a city in modern times when Sarajevo was under siege for 1,425 days and its population suffered innumerous acts of crimes against humanity.
Today Sarajevo is a dynamic and lively city that is attracting more and more tourists due to its amazing cultural herigate, nice climate, good food and the friendless of its people.
Known as the Jerusalem of Europe, its compact old town hots mosques from Otoman times, Chatolic and Orthodoxy churches and Sinagogues.
Nowhere else it is possible to 'walk' from the Otoman empire to the Autro-Hungarian empire and to the communist Yugoslavia without even changing the street.
