Sarajevo is known for, of course, the Bosnian War and the Siege of Sarajevo during which the Tunnel of Hope was constructed. Located adjacent to the airport, it was used to provide the city defenders with weaponry covertly. Although one can no longer walk the entire length, a section of tunnel is open to the public alongside a small museum.
Due to the way that the tunnel has been constructed, it would be a little tricky to make the thing wheelchair accessible, however, one can still observe various exhibits above ground. For me, needs must came into play thus trekked down the many steps. At the bottom of the steps there is another exhibit which is level…
Due to the track that was laid for carts etc, it becomes difficult to fit even a manual wheelchair down the actual tunnel thus it was time for one to do some exercise…
As in Monastir, Tunisia, you can pay for a conventional taxi to drop off and wait around for a hour thus it was easy to return to the Old Town to sample a selection of traditional Burek…
Whilst the manual wheelchair was out, it was the perfect chance to explore the Bascarsija Bazaar which is, essentially, a mini version of The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul…
Unfortunately it is surrounded by steps however making it a little difficult for wheelchairs to enter.
Later on, we explore Sarajevos tallest building, Avaz Twist Tower.
