Take a Tour in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Answer: Bascarsija

There is so much to see and do and Sarajevo, but the bazaar should be on any tourist list. It was started in 1462 and at one time had over a thousand shops with different crafts. Today the small streets have artisan and souvenir shops as well as many food vendors selling native dishes. Close by is the Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque and the old Sarajevo Clock Tower. The mosque was damaged in the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War (as was much of Sarajevo), however much has been done to restore it. The Clock Tower doesn't keep local time, but rather lunar time so that locals can time their prayers.

8. In which town you can see the alleged "Bosnian Pyramids"?

From Quiz What Do You Know About Bosnia?

Answer: Visoko

The "Bosnian Pyramids" were allegedly found in Visoko. The idea of pyramids in Visoko came from the theory of pseudo-explorer Semir Osmanagic, who claimed that not far from the town of Visoko there were pyramids built by human hands in the past. According to the same theory, the largest pyramid, Pyramid of the Sun (and the first of its kind in Europe), was situated on Visocica Hill, while the Pyramid of the Moon was on Pljesevica Hill. Researchers have tried to prove this theory since April 2006. The theory has been rejected by both domestic and foreign experts in the fields of history and archeology.
