Sarajevo sits in a valley surrounded by mountains with incredibly warm people, but the terrain and infrastructure are challenging.
This city needs different solutions for different areas.
Sarajevo scores 48/100 on our stroller-friendliness scale. Below you'll find a full breakdown of terrain, transit accessibility, and family facilities — plus neighborhood-level tips and stroller vs. carrier advice for Sarajevo.
📋 The Bottom Line
Sarajevo is nestled in a narrow valley with mountains on all sides, creating a unique topography that's tough for strollers. The old town (Baščaršija) has cobblestones and narrow Ottoman-era streets. The main pedestrian zone is decent, but much of the city has hills and uneven surfaces from war reconstruction. However, Bosnian hospitality is legendary - locals will go far out of their way to help families. The tram system is basic but functional.
