Bosnia, Sarajevo, Wedding Venue 82

Sarajevo is one of the most historically interesting cities in Europe. It is the place where the Western & Eastern Roman Empire split; where the people of the Roman Catholic west, Eastern Orthodox east and the Ottoman south, met, lived and warred. It has been both an example of historical turbulence and the clash of civilizations, as well as a beacon of hope for peace and tolerance through multi-cultural integration.

Today the city has physically recovered from most of the war damage caused by the Yugoslav Wars of the 1992-1995. Sarajevo is a cosmopolitan European capital with a unique Eastern twist that is a delight to visit. The people are very friendly, be they Bosniaks, Croats or Serb. There is very little crime. Also there are not nearly as many tourists as on the Croatian Dalmatian coast and a wealth of architecture (not to mention history) to see.

Sarajevo is a living museum of history. Mosques, churches, cathedrals and fine municipal buildings built by the Ottoman Turks and Austria-Hungarians; a bridge where world history took a fateful turn; and the Tunnel Museum, the yellow Holiday Inn, and the artillery-scarred Library as reminders of recent tragedy.

Sarajevo oozes charm and fascination, with rattly old trams that circle the city centre containing the Bascarsija bazaar - an ancient trading place with artisans’ workshops - coffee drinking dens, restaurants, cosy bars and endless souvenir outlets. Further to the west the Ottoman traces slowly disappear and the city takes on another guise, of a proud Austro-Hungarian colonial capital.

There is a big-village atmosphere in Sarajevo making you immediately feel comfortable and part of what’s going on from the outset; giving you that elusive sense of belonging somewhere.

Experience all this, in our high rise wedding venue with 360 degree rotating restaurant which gives you a 70 metre high view over the spectacular city of Sarajevo. With seating for 120 guest and accommodation for much more, this venue, situated in the city of Sarajevo give you access to the ancient city all year round.

All major religions can celebrate a religious wedding in Sarajevo, with four religions sharing one block in which resides the neo-Gothic 1889 Catholic Church, the old synagogue (1581, last rebuilt in 1821), the Gazi Husrev-Beg Mosque and the Old Orthodox Church.
