Sebilj
If you are already wondering how soon you can make a return visit to Sarajevo take a drink from the public fountain in Sebilj square and, according to local legend, you won’t stay away for long. Built in 1891 from a design by Czech architect Alexander Wittek, the stone and timber Moorish-style fountain is the centerpiece of the main square in the old town.
You can stroll between the restaurants and souvenir shops and watch the pigeons that give the square its better-known name descend on anyone kindly or foolhardy enough to pay a mark for a cup of corn - literally birdfeed for bird food. And if you want a cup of real Bosnian coffee, here is the place to get both it and a ringside seat for watching Sarajevo stroll by.
