Advantages: An important piece of recent history, interesting, enlightening Disadvantages: Not a great deal to see so for the really interested only
In the mid 1990s I watched television news bulletins transfixed at the pictures coming from the besieged city of Sarajevo. For over four years the people of Sarajevo were trapped in their city, often cold, usually hungry as missiles rained down on them. In spite of many months of fierce attack plucky Sarajevo managed to defend itself ? thanks mainly to an 800 metre tunnel that connected the city with ?Free Bosnia?.

A new Parliament building has replaced the old one which I vividly remember ablaze during the war; with its glass exterior it is just one of a number of buildings that make Sarajevo look every bit the prosperous European capital. In the centre of town, overlooking the Miljacka River, the National Library, a magnificent Ottoman building is slowly being restored thanks to a joint European Commission.
We hadn?t booked accommodation in advance so we headed to the bazaar district where we?d heard there were several hostels and bed and breakfasts but before we got there we were approached by ...
