Ferhadija Mosque

Continue west along Ferhadija, the main pedestrian artery, lined with shops, cafés, and some of the city's most recognizable buildings. It feels lighter and more spacious than Baščaršija, with Austro-Hungarian symmetry replacing Ottoman intimacy. It's an easy stroll, and you'll pass several key landmarks without needing a map. In the heart of old Sarajevo, at the exact spot where Sarači street becomes Ferhadija street, you can look one way and swear you're in Istanbul, with its cobblestones and market stalls; look the other way, and you could just as easily find yourself in Vienna, with broad pedestrian boulevards and grand Austrian architecture.
