Walk up to the Yellow Fortress bastion. The view looks west, so you will see the city bathed in the soft, long shadows of the morning golden light. It is a quiet moment to take in the skyline before the day gets busy.
18:50
Head down to Maly Kuhinja. This tiny restaurant seats only 15 people, so arriving right as the light hits is key. Chef Muamer Kurtagic prepares what is fresh that day with no fixed menu. Watch the work in progress while you wait for your meal.
19:35
Stroll to Markale Market. It is open until 17:00, so you have time to browse the local meat, cheese, and vegetable merchants. Look out for the walnuts, which are a local specialty. The market has a history that adds weight to the atmosphere of the old town.
