Sarajevo - Bosnia and Herzegovina
There is a lot going on in Sarajevo at night. The nightlife reminded me a little bit of Berlin. In the district Bascarsija it has a very special atmosphere.
Sarajevo is a largely European city. The district Bascarsija with its small houses and alleys is very oriental.

Nachts ist viel los in Sarajevo. Das Nachtleben hat mich einwenig an Berlin erinnert. Im Stadtteil Bascarsija hat es eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre.

Situated at the intersection of three major streets in Sarajevo, the City Hall is a monument to the multiculturalism of Bosnia. Built between 1892 and 1894, the pseudo-Moorish building honored the Muslim background of this Austro-Hungarian territory. The façade is based on Mamluk-period buildings in Cairo. The building has been used for various municipal purposes since its construction, including as a city court and parliament house, which it was until 1948, when it became the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On August 25-26, 1992, the City Hall was hit by heavy artillery and incendiary bombs. The hall was set ablaze and almost the entire library holdings were lost. The interior of the town hall was almost completely destroyed in the fire that followed the shelling. After it was renovated, the City Hall was reopened on May 9, 2014. Today, it is used in ceremonial occasions at the state and city level, for the promotion of cultural, artistic and economic events, along with permanent and occasional museum exhibits, regular sessions of the City Council
