Today, we journey through the countryside of the Balkans to arrive at the second destination of the trip - Sarajevo in Bosnia. The population of Bosnia is 3 million with 70% Muslims, and the rest made up of Catholics and Christian Jews. It also has the nickname of being the Jerusalem of Europe. Sadly, their unemployment rate is 40%, as their country is still trying to recover from the civil war, which ended in 1994. For 4 centuries, they were occupied by the Ottoman Empire, which explains the Muslim architectural influences on their buildings. Later on, the Austro-Hungarian brought technology like the first tramway in Sarajevo. Come in and let's explore Sarajevo together!
