Žuta tabija

Žuta tabija offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views of Sarajevo. It is located on Vratnik hill, part of the remains of 18th-century Austro-Hungarian fortifications. It is especially popular during sunset when the city slowly transforms into a sea of lights beneath the old fortress walls. During Ramadan, a cannon is fired from Žuta tabija to mark iftar (the breaking of the fast) — one of the most authentic Sarajevo traditions that has continued for centuries. From the terrace, the entire city is visible — from Baščaršija to the modern quarters, with mountains in the background. Accessible on foot from Baščaršija (approximately 20 minutes uphill).
