Financial Stability We are proud to be recognized by Allianz Insurance on their list of covered travel suppliers to give you additional peace of mind. Arrive into Belgrade. Your private driver will greet you outside of customs for your private transfer to the Square 9 Hotel. Your journey will begin in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The city lies on the confluence of two powerful rivers, the Sava and the Danube. The site of the city was settled in the 3rd century BC by the Celts before becoming a Roman settlement. The Slavic name Beligrad (literally meaning White City) was first recorded in 878 AD. Belgrade first became the capital of the Serbian Kingdom in the 13th century, and the Ottoman Turks ruled from the 14th century to the mid-19th century. After World War I, it was the capital of Yugoslavia from 1918 until 2006. Upon arriving at your hotel, you may spend the remainder of your day at your leisure. Airport Transfer Square 9 Hotel This morning after meeting your driver and guide, you will journey through some of the more recent history of the city, starting with a visit to the temple of Saint Sava. Built in 1825, this Serbian Orthodox cathedral is the largest Orthodox Church in use in the world and one of the symbols of Belgrade. Later you will enjoy a visit to the Royal Palace complex. There are two palaces: The Royal Palace, built in the Serbian-Byzantium style in the 1920s, and the White Palace, built a decade later. The Royal Palace is unique as it is the residence of the Royal Family HRH Crown Price Alexander and Princess Katherine. During the Socialist period both palaces were closed to visitors and were used by Tito to entertain visiting dignitaries. Next you will visit the Museum of Yugoslavia, which is the best place to learn about Josip Broz Tito’s rule and the history of Yugoslavia under his leadership. The museum is on the grounds of Tito’s main Belgrade residence where he wanted to be buried and includes his mausoleum. After, you will visit the fortress and have a walking tour of the Old Town (Stari Grad) which features some fine examples of neo-Renaissance (the School of Fine Arts), Art Nouveau (the Academy of Arts and Sciences), and neo-Baroque (the Krsmanovic House) architecture. The remainder of your evening is at leisure. Vehicle, Driver & Guide (6 Hours) Square 9 Hotel This morning you will meet your driver and guide and head to Kovačica, 35 miles from Belgrade. This area of the countryside has been a Slovakian enclave since 1802. Today you will meet some of the artists at the Gallery of Naïve Arts. The gallery was established in 1955 by self-taught artists, 18 of which remain. They are all in their late 70s and 80s and still paint prolifically. Today their main purpose is to pass down and preserve the tradition of Naïve painting to the next generation. Later, you will visit the workshop of a master violin maker and restorer. Jan’s son and granddaughter both have learned this artisanal skill, and it is wonderful to hear their story. Later this afternoon you will have a curator-led tour at the National Museum. Housed over three floors of a neoclassical former bank building on Republic Square, the museum has a 400,000-piece collection. The museum was closed for 15 years and has just re-opened. The first floor covers prehistory and classical antiquity, as well as an abundance of Roman material (18 emperors, including Constantine the Great, were born in what is now Serbia). The second floor has a collection of Byzantine-Serbian exhibits, and the top floor is devoted to paintings with a focus on Yugoslav and European art. The Impressionist collection is impressive, with works by Monet, Renoir, Degas, and Cézanne. The remainder of the evening is at your leisure. Vehicle, Driver & Guide (8 Hours) Square 9 Hotel This morning after check-out, your driver will meet you in the lobby of your hotel for your transfer to Sarajevo. This journey will take approximately 4 to 4.5 hours depending on traffic and the number of stops you will make. Optional: You may also take a quick direct flight to Sarajevo. Cost of the flight is not included. Upon arrival, you will check into your hotel and may spend the remainder of your day at your leisure. Private Transfer - Belgrade to Sarajevo Swissotel Sarajevo This morning we will meet our guide to start our exploration of the city. The compact Old Town makes for an easy and enjoyable exploration on foot, and the Ferhadija pedestrian street is lined with architectural monuments, cafes, and shops. You will also see the Moraca Han, a caravanserai which once provided accommodations, meals, storage, and stables for merchants and travellers. It has now been renovated and houses a courtyard surrounded by several restaurants, cafes, and shops. It is also mainly along the Ferhadija Street that you will notice some of the Sarajevo roses: marks of mortar shell explosions on the pavements, many of which have been filled in with red paint or resin and accompanied by plaques with the names of the victims of the particular explosion. You will stroll along the Miljacka River and see the bridges built during Ottoman times. One of these, the elegant stone Latin Bridge, is where the Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip shot and killed Franz Ferdinand and his wife. Now, a plaque commemorates the place of the assassination, and a small museum stands on the northern bank of the river. Later, you may also wish to visit the Jewish Museum, housed in the oldest synagogue in the region. The remainder of your evening is at your leisure. Vehicle, Driver & Guide (8 Hours) Swissotel Sarajevo Today you will meet your driver for your transfer to the airport to board your departing flight onward. Cost of your flights are not included. Departure Transfer Cost of the Program: Per Person for Two (2) guests travelling together From $3,100 Per Person for Four (4) guests travelling together From $2,400 Accommodations Belgrade Three (3) nights at the Square 9 Hotel; tax and breakfast included. Located near the Studentski Park, Square Nine is just a short walk away from Belgrade Fortress and from Beograd Donji Grad Station. Its concept focuses on luxury and familiarity to match with the city’s own renovation yet staying true to the city’s identity. This hotel offers two distinct choices of fine dining. The Square, focusing on modern European cuisine with a large selection of international fine wines and spirits, and Ebisu, a rooftop Japanese restaurant serving authentic Japanese cuisine. Head to the Lobby Bar for a wide selection of cocktails, wines, fine spirits, Japanese beer, and various other beverages. Relax in their Spa & Wellness center, bordered by 500 square meters of natural stone with an 18-meter-long lap pool.

  • Searching for Walter
    amy yee Searching for Walter or the first time during my stay in Sarajevo, the sliding door Fto the guesthouse’s kitchen was shut. I couldn’t get to the refrig- erator where I kept the yogurt and raspberries I usually ate for lunch. Behind the door, I could hear clattering and movement. I wondered if this was preparation for a special event, perhaps a family meal. One of the guesthouse owners, a wispy older Bosnian man named Mr. S, was typing on the computer at the nearby reception desk. “When will the kitchen be free?” I inquired politely. The white- haired man had a speech impediment that made his voice sound like a music-less accordion. He was usually very friendly and chatted amiably with me and other guests in English. But he seethed with irritation as he wheezed his reply. “The kitchen is open twenty-four hours. But this Chinese man,” he flung his arm toward at the kitchen, “is cooking, and the smell is going through the whole house!” He turned back to the computer and stared at it sullenly. So there was no special event going on. I took this as permission to enter, so I slid open the door and stepped into the long, narrow kitchen. Inside was an older Asian man of medium height and build. His head was shaved to a salt-and-pepper stubble. Square, silver-rimmed glasses perched on his gentle-looking face. He wore a white tank-top under- shirt and a dish towel thrown over one shoulder. The man was busy cleaning up after cooking what smelled like cabbage soup.

  • Sarajevo: Perfect City Break Where East Meets West and a Town
    http://www.high50.com/travel/sarajevo‐perfect‐city‐break‐where‐east‐meets‐west‐and‐history‐ meets‐future UNITED KINGDOM 28 May 2015 by Xenia Taliotis Sarajevo: perfect city break where East meets West and a town steeped in history looks to the future A three-day tour of Sarajevo reveals a city like no other, where cathedral and mosque, war-torn history and future hope, Eastern and Western culture, meet. Xenia Taliotis reports Sarajevo as the sun sets , the faithful are called to prayer, and spices scent the air “Allāhu akbar, Allāhu akbar, Ash-hadu an-lā ilāha illā allāh.” We arrive in Sarajevo as the muezzin calls the faithful to prayer, the light is ebbing and the sun is setting in swirls of dusky pink and orange sky. It’s Sunday and the soft breeze is spiced with cinnamon and smoked paprika from the cafés and ćevabdžinicas that crowd the labyrinth of 15th-century alleyways in Bašcaršija, the Ottoman bazaar in Stari Grad, the old district. Every table is taken by groups sharing plates overweight with the local dish, ćevapcici (something like/nothing like kebab served with cheese and chopped onions), bourek, cakes the size of pyramids anddžezva of grainy coffee. The city feels more east than west and yet if you look up to the heavens you’ll find spires stretching for their god alongside the minarets reaching for theirs. The Jerusalem of Europe Sarajevo is a city like no other, known as the Jerusalem of Europe because its cathedrals, main mosque and synagogue are within a few metres of each other.

  • Gavrilo Princip: Hero Or Villain?
    Gavrilo Princip: hero or villain? As Balkan countries prepare to mark the start of the first world war, history books show widely different interpretation. "Those people were terrorists – Gavrilo Princip and the rest of them," said Salih Mehmedovic, standing at the spot by the Latin Bridge in central Sarajevo where the young Bosnian Serb shot dead Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary 100 years ago. Mehmedovic, a Bosniak, said he had no doubt that Serbia was responsible for the murder. "They did what they did on the orders of Serbia. We should blame Serbia for the war," he insisted. As Balkan countries prepare to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the first world war this summer, each is teaching its children a different interpretation of the killing that triggered the conflict. Princip is portrayed in the history books of the various countries of former Yugoslavia either as a terrorist or as a rebel with a cause – reflecting contemporary divisions in a region still recovering from the more recent conflicts of the 1990s. While they were part of Yugoslavia, children in all these countries were taught the same history. Now they all have their own versions of the truth, shaped by the more recent wars, and are passing it on to the next generation.
