Bascarsija Review

I asked my local friends where the place called the Great Market is? He said it should be in the old Ottoman building called the old Bagher in the center of Bascasga, near the border between the Turkish and Austro-Hungarian divisions, not the one commented on next to the Sebili fountain at the entrance to the Turkish Quarter in Bascasga Usually known as the "coppersmith street" by the Chinese people here! Since we talk about the coppersmith street, let's talk about it here! Friends who have been to Turkey must have the feeling of crossing back to Turkey when they arrive here. Yes, whether it is architectural style or copper appliances, even hand-processing technology is exactly the same as Turkey! The reason is simple because it was all left during the Ottoman rule, and some old craftsmen even speak Turkish! The street is best known to Chinese tourists because of the famous bridge section of the old Yugoslav film Walter Defending Sarajevo, introduced in 1973 (no more details, friends who have not seen it can search online)! Winter tourists are scarce, strolling in the old street to experience the gentle peace of Sarajevo today. I am a foreign tourist can only feel her weight, see her beauty, but can not understand how the people here have been suffering from war! Let's talk about the people here. The old man in the hat waiting to buy pomegranate juice in Figure 10 is my friend, saying that he is an old man, in fact, he is not so old, only forty-five years old (Europeans generally precocious and old, haha). Today he came to accompany me shopping, suddenly he told me that he wanted to drink pomegranate juice and asked me if I could wait a moment? I said OK! According to our Chinese habits, he will definitely buy two glasses and invite me to have a drink, but it didn't! We had dinner together at noon and he had already ordered a beer and drank it himself before I finished ordering! Haha, if you follow the inherent Chinese thinking, you will definitely feel that they are not enough to mean enough buddies, I come to your hometown all the way, you don't invite me to eat a big meal, a cup of pomegranate juice a bunch of beer you eat alone! Yes, they do, even we are AA to eat together! Haha, but I am used to the Europeans now, this is their lifestyle does not mean he does not value you, he does not love you! (I was in Madrid, Spain, in 17 years on a motorcycle, I had a car accident in Madrid, and I was in a hospital with a broken toe bone. Two local brothers helped me run before and after, but they usually didn’t even ask me for a cup of coffee and a cigarette, haha) Maybe their AA-ruled lifestyle was left behind from the centuries of Ottoman rule? Because my native country buddies are all shutting their doors like that, haha. I couldn't stand it when I first met them! Wandering around I accidentally saw a doll lamb in the window of a shop that did not open the door (Figure 12), I really want to buy it, because its eyes look so sad but so firm, in an instant it moved me, That look seems to express the desire of every Sarajevo people! That is, wish the world no war! Forever peace!

The sun is setting, the first time to Sarajevo, has entered the sunset, in this small European city, there is no urban hustle and bustle, no large number of tourists, let everyone in the environment of the city to cultivate.

Sarajevo is an ancient city built on the mountain. Historically, the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire have ruled here. As soon as I arrive here, I feel a heavy sense of history. It is too a tourist city and it is not suitable for calming down to so-called integration into local life!

Beautiful scenery, clean and tidy environment, worth a visit!

Traveling to Sarajevo will basically stay in the old city, the old city is radiant with his square as the center, the square is not big, but there will be many streets and alleys in the radiation, basically all the attractions are included in the old city.
