Before you go
What the guide flags for families.
- Fine with a carrier; cobbles and hills are tiring. (Good for · verdict: ok)
- Sarajevo is easy with children: the old town is flat, the Sebilj pigeons and copper workshops interest them, and the river promenade has room to run. (Kids)
- Cobbles are hard on strollers on Baščaršija and steep on the hills; bring a carrier or a light folding stroller. (Kids)
- The tram to Ilidža (about 30 minutes) leads to Vrelo Bosne, a flat green park by the springs with a horse-and-carriage ride and picnic spots. (Kids)
