Sarajevo
Yellow Fortress (Zuta Tabija)
Once a defensive point against Austro-Hungarian troops, this hilltop bastion is now where locals and visitors gather for the finest view over Sarajevo. It’s a 15-minute climb up from Bascarsija – worth every step as the Old Town and the bright City Hall (Vijecnica) spread out below. Time it for sunset.
