Sarajevo

Sarajevo is an amazing city. I recommend it highly. The Bosnians are amazing people, generous to a fault and very welcoming of all visitors. there are great book stores, museums, and sidewalk cafes. There are still battle scars from the days the Serbian vigilantes sat up in the hills taking potshots at civilians for three years. You can visit the meter-tall tunnel Bosniaks had to use to get into and out of the city without being shot by the brave serbs defending the honor of Greater Serbia up in the hills.

I've got a second gallery of this city as well. I just couldn't stop taking pictures!
