This quiet small town in east Bosnia called Srebrenica, together with villages nearby such as Potočari, is unfortunately known to the world for the massacre that happened back in 1995. Men were separated from their wifes and children, and were asked to give away their weapons since they were promised to be evacuated to closest safe zone. Instead, more than 8000 of them they were cruelly murdered in just couple of days. This was the biggest genocide after WWII, and lots of the victims are still not burried. 20 years later, mass graves with new victims are still being discovered. This memorial cemetery is a place of grief and giving the honor to the inocent victims. Srebrenica tour is an interesting historical,religious and political overview of the war and nowadays life. The tour includes a visit to Genocide Memorial, accumulator factory as the place of excruciation of Muslim population and gallery, town of Srebrenica, and gives You the opportunity to meet and hear the stories of survivors.

Do Not Forget the Genocide
The museum contains images that depict violence and negative elements. I recommend not having young children with you when visiting places that tell stories of events that can be heartbreaking even for an adult. The Srebrenica Genocide Memorial Center and Museum, located in Potočari, Bosnia and Herzegovina, commemorates the victims of the 1995 massacre. The former battery factory, a witness to the massacre, has been transformed into a museum with the support of TİKA (Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency) and opened to visitors; entry is free. There is free parking outside the Martyrs' Memorial. First, you can visit the area where the tombs are located, and then go to the museum across the street, which has free entry.
Response from the operator: Düşünceli yorumunuz ve faydalı bilgileri paylaştığınız için çok teşekkür ederiz. Müzenin oldukça etkileyici ve duygusal içeriklere sahip olduğu konusunda hemfikiriz; bu nedenle küçük çocuklarla ziyaret edecek misafirlerin bunu göz önünde bulundurması önemli. En önemlisi, her ziyaretçinin Srebrenitsa hakkında daha derin bir anlayışla ve kurbanlara ve ailelerine duyduğu saygıyla ayrılmasını diliyoruz.

Genocide is a crime against humanity.
First of all, before entering the museum, I recommend that you consider the age group of those accompanying you, keeping in mind that the images contain violence and negative elements. The Srebrenica Genocide Memorial Center and Museum, located in Potočari, Bosnia and Herzegovina, commemorates the victims of the 1995 massacre. The former battery factory, a witness to the massacre, has been transformed into a museum and opened to visitors with the support of TİKA (Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency).
Response from the operator: Değerli yorumunuz ve bilgilendirici paylaşımınız için çok teşekkür ederiz. Srebrenitsa Soykırımı Anıt Merkezi’nin ziyaretçiler üzerinde güçlü ve duygusal bir etkisi olabiliyor. Özellikle çocuklarla veya gençlerle ziyaret edecek misafirlerimizin içerikteki ağır ve hassas unsurları önceden dikkate almaları gerçekten önemli. Bu acı tarihi gelecek nesillere doğru şekilde aktarmak ve kurbanların hatırasını yaşatmak hepimiz için büyük önem taşıyor.

Srebrenica Genocide Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Srebrenica Genocide Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $86 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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour 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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour?
+
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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour 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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour?
+
Around 1 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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour 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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour?
+
Included: Hotel pick up and drop off; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Professional tour guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Srebrenica Genocide Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Sarajevo.
What languages is Srebrenica Genocide Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. 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 Srebrenica Genocide Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
