Sarajevo lies in its namesake valley surrounded by the Dinaric Alps; the Miljacka River flows through the city.

The Cathedral of Jesus' Heart is the largest cathedral in Bosnia and Herzegovina and is the center of Catholic worship in the city of Sarajevo. Located in the Old Town district, the church was constructed between 1884 and 1889 in the Neo-Gothic style, but displays Romanesque elements. Damaged during the Siege of Sarajevo (1992-1994), it has been completely restored.

The Eternal Flame Memorial in Sarajevo honors the military and civilian victims of World War II; it was dedicated on 6 April 1946.

The famous Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Mostar connects the two parts of the city divided by the Neretva River. Built during the 16th century under Suleiman the Magnificent, the bridge was destroyed in 1993 during the Bosnian War, but was subsequently rebuilt and reopened in 2004.
