Create an itinerary including Sebilj Brunnen (Fountain)
At Baščaršija square amid a Middle Eastern-style market, Sebilj Brunnen (Fountain) represents a pseudo-Ottoman wooden fountain that dates from 1754. Although the original one burned in 1852, the fountain was reconstructed and the current version dates back to 1891. Visit the spot to see where travelers used to refresh themselves: a government official would be appointed to stand there and fill pots with water, which he would then give free to anyone who was thirsty. Today, the fountain is one of the favorite photographic spots in Sarajevo. Plan your visit to Sebilj Brunnen (Fountain) and a wealth of other attractions, well-known and undiscovered, using our Sarajevo online travel planner.

    Baščaršija is the go to place in Sarajevo, it never gets dull. So much life there! Sebilj is fun for all, beautiful picture opps and the popular pigeon population there. You will know what I mean once you get there. Highly recommended place to be is Old Town (Baščaršija)
