SIEGE OF SARAJEVO

44 months long siege of Sarajevo was the longest siege of a capital city in modern history. The siege caused a serious humanitarian crisis in the city so Bosnian army decided to build a tunnel under the Sarajevo airport, which was controlled by the UN troops, in order to enable at least some kind of communication between Sarajevo and the rest of free Bosnian territory. Join us on this tour and learn how the tunnel helped Sarajevo survive the siege, how Yugoslavia fell apart and enjoy some of the best panoramic views of Sarajevo.
