The longest bazaar street

About Sarači

Sarači, the street of the saddlers, is the longest street in Baščaršija, running west to east from Gazi Husrev-begova, past the corner the locals call Slatko Ćoše, “Sweet Corner”, to Baščaršija square. Today it is lined with craft and souvenir shops, cafés and grills. Our advice: wander it end to end, then branch off into the side lanes.
