Grab an espresso at Ministry of Ćejf. The baristas are well-trained and the atmosphere is calm, a good way to start the evening before the climb.
15:04
Walk 20 minutes east to the Yellow Fortress. This small bastion offers a pleasant place to picnic and gaze over the city. Arrive here by 15:48 to catch the golden light as the sun begins its descent.
17:34
After the sun dips below the horizon, head to Sač for dinner. This Balkan restaurant serves authentic cuisine with yummy burek and excellent pies, perfect for a hearty post-sunset meal.
18:34
End the night with Bosnian coffee at Miris Dunja. On a typical day the coffee is very good, and on a good day it is extraordinary.
