Art is not the first thing that comes to our minds when we think about Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sarajevo, but we assure you that Sarajevo has one of the best art scenes in region. In this tour we will visit few locations in Sarajevo that are related to conceptual and contemporary art, we talk to local artists and art curators. Conceptual art is a direction in modern art from the early 1960s to the mid 1970s. It emerged as an artist's desire to dematerialize the subject of artistic activity, using non-traditional artwork and materials (polaroid, art, film, video, body art, happening, urban action). Join us in this awesome tour! We start every day at 1pm, except on Sunday, in front of our colorful office and tour agency.

    What you'll see and do

    1. Brodac Gallery

      Contemporary art gallery Brodac is located in an old building that has a story, and a soul. It used to be an prison during Austro- Hungarian occupation. Now it is turned into a cozy place where you can visit contemporary Bosnian art exhibition every once in a while. They also serve an amazing local craft beer Gelender.

    2. Ferhadija Pedestrian Street

      Ferhadija runs west to east, from Vječna Vatra and the point where it meets Titova St., all the way to Gazi Husrev-Begova St., where it then turns into Sarači St. and continues east. On Ferhadija street we will see Sarajevo Roses, a concrete scar caused by a mortar shell's explosion that was later filled with red resin. Mortar rounds landing on concrete create a unique fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement. Because Sarajevo was a site of intense urban warfare and suffered thousands of shell explosions during the Siege of Sarajevo, the marked concrete patterns are a unique feature to the city.

      30 minutes here

    3. Located right in the center of town, Java Gallery (Titova 21) has played an important role in affirming and building Sarajevo’s contemporary art scene, by giving artists a chance to present their work in a very attractive exhibit space. The gallery works extensively on supporting and promoting both BiH and international artists, as well as collaborating closely with artists who work in various artistic mediums and represent the contemporary art scene.

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    4. Veliki Park

      In one of the most famous parks in Sarajevo we will see a sculpture from the BH artist and sculptor Mensud Kečo, a sculpture dedicated to the genocide in Srebrenica. It is the sculpture ‘’Nermine, dođi’’, made of concrete, reinforcement bars, plastic and silicon, which represents the most distressing documented photograph from Srebrenica to the artist.

      30 minutes here

    5. Skenderija Bridge

      We will make "caffe break" at Gallery BORIS SMOJO, after we will go to see the bridge FESTINA LENTE.

    An excellent tour...

    An excellent tour and new perspectives on Sarajaevo and the street art scene. I highly recommend it.

    MimicheV1 · April 2023

    Art tours are a must, this one is unique. Don't miss it.

    This is an exceptional tour. Extremely rich and informative. It is about street art, with all its rituals, customs, famous artists, festivals. But not only. It covers architecture, with the highlights of Turkish and Austro-Hungarian buildings around the city. But also Bosnian traditions, the bazar, the Latin Bridge, some beautiful galleries. The guide is well informed on many subjects and his mastery of English is exceptional. Plus he guides you with a great smile. I truly enjoyed this tour. Would recommend it to everybody. If you are not interested in art, do it. You will see what you have missed.

    We’ll definitely come back!

    One of the best tours we’ve had in this part of the Europe. Mak is an excellent guide. His passion for Sarajevo’s history and culture really shows. 100% recommendation to everyone. I went on a tour with my teenage son and we had a great time. We even got introduced to some local artists and craftsmen which was super cool!

    You want regret going on this tour.

    The guide, Adnan, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He shared a lot of information both about the art and the artists and also about the Bosnian history and people. Even though some galleries were closed, we had no problem filling the day with beautiful art and interesting information.

    I like the arts trip a lot, you will find many hidden arts places in this city in this tour. Mak is a super nice and knowledgeable guide, he will share not only the history but also his own experiences during the war. He is always helping with any questions. He even gave me a book he writed as a gift! I would highly recommend this tour with him. Thanks again Mak!

    SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.

    How much does SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sarajevo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sarajevo is not rushed.

    Is SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sarajevo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture)?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sarajevo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sarajevo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sarajevo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sarajevo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sarajevo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fall of Yugoslavia, Sarajevo War Tour with Tunnel of Hope Museum and Frontlines, From Sarajevo: Srebrenica Genocide Memorial Study Tour, Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sarajevo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sarajevo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture)?

    +

    Included: Licensed Tour Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture)?

    +

    Is SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; and Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture) if the weather is bad?
