About tour

Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, holds a special place in history as the host city of the 1984 Winter Olympics, making it the first city in a socialist country to host the Winter Games. The event was a milestone for both Sarajevo and Yugoslavia, as it showcased the city’s natural beauty, vibrant culture, and infrastructure on a global stage.

A Sarajevo Olympic Tour typically involves exploring the venues, landmarks, and history associated with the 1984 Winter Olympics held in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We will take the cable car to Olympic mountain Trebević and explore the abandoned bobsled and luge track, now covered in vibrant graffiti. The Sarajevo Cable Car, originally opened in 1959, was a key part of the 1984 Winter Olympics. Destroyed during the Bosnian War, it was rebuilt and reopened in 2018, allowing people to retrace the historic journey to the mountain.

Learn about its Olympic history and its later role during the Bosnian War.
