Fun fact: In almost every language except Turkish, the name Sarajevo sounds pretty much the same. Only the Turks call the Bosnian capital differently: Saraybosna. Although, you'd think the root is already Turkish anyway.

The city is also sometimes called the Jerusalem of Europe. But the only real similarity is the mix of cultures and religions in one place. Where else in Europe can you find a mosque, a Catholic church, a synagogue, and an Orthodox church all in the same neighborhood?

This is my second time in this city, and I have wonderful impressions both times. And they clearly made an effort with the street decorations for New Year's—it looks absolutely festive.
