Tunnel of salvation – a reminder of the courage of Sarajevo

Built in 1993 during the siege of Sarajevo, this tunnel was the only passage connecting the city with the free territories.

Today, a part of the tunnel has been preserved and turned into a museum, where you can see the original wooden structures and tools used during construction, and learn more about life under siege.
