Zgrada željezničke stanice Bistrik
Walk around the exterior of the Bistrik railway station. It is a national monument and a quiet starting point before the city wakes up.
16:50
Head to Petica Ferhatović for breakfast. The waitresses wear traditional dresses and the beef ćevapi are fresh. It is open from 08:00, so you will have plenty of time before the golden light arrives.
18:05
Stroll through Gazi-Husrev Beg's Bezistan. This covered market features haberdashery and craftsmanship in a building designed based on mosque architecture. It is a pleasant place to browse while the morning light is still soft.
18:50
Climb the short walk to the Yellow Fortress. The golden light starts at this moment. Find a spot on the bastion to picnic and gaze over the city as the sun sets toward the WNW.
Local tip
The walk from the Bezistan to the Yellow Fortress takes about 17 minutes. Start your climb early enough to secure a good spot on the fortress wall.
