Ramadan in Sarajevo (Iftar Cannon & Nights)

During Ramadan the old town transforms: the cannon fires from the Yellow Fortress at sunset to break the fast, squares fill with communal iftar tables, and special foods and nightly buzz take over Baščaršija.

Why: the iftar cannon; communal breaking of fast; a unique cultural atmosphere.

Tip: be at the Yellow Fortress (Žuta tabija) for the cannon, then watch the city eat together below — visitors are warmly welcomed.
