Već smo vam rekli da se nalazimo u središtu Baščaršije. A šta to zapravo znači? Pa, otprilike ovako:

Kad izađete iz našeg hostela, ispred je Trg Baščaršija, sa svojim golubovima, dućanima, aščinicama, prodavnicama suvenira i svim onim što vam treba. Ako krenete u ulicu lijevo, idete prema Begovoj džamiji koja je daleko jedva stotinu metara, a Morića han je udaljen pedesetak metara od nas. Samo nešto niže se nalazi i stari Gazi Husref-begov bezistan koji je renoviran i ljepši je nego ikada.

Ako krenete u ulicu desno, ulazite u najmirisniju ulicu u Sarajevu. Tu se najbolje jede. Slatko ili slano, toplo ili hladno, sve ćete naći na trideset metara od nas. A samo malo dalje, na kraju ulice je Vijećnica, izgrađena još za Franje Josifa, vještom rukom Josipa Vancaša. Na 200 metara od Vijećnice su bazeni.

Ako se, ne daj Bože, razbolite, dom zdravlja je 500 metara od nas. A ako želite poslati nekome razglednicu, birate poštu na Latinskoj Ćupriji (bivši Principov most). A to je ono mjesto sa kojeg je izvjesni Gavrilo ubio princa Franca Ferdinanda, pa ja zbog toga počeo cijeli jedan svjetski rat!

Mi vas očekujemo. U bilo koje doba dana, u svako doba godine!

We have already told you that we are in the middle of Bascarsija. What does it, actually, mean? Well, something like this:

When you step out from our hostel, infront of you is Bascarsija Square, with it's pidgeons, shops, national food restaurants, souvenir-shops and everything you need. If you turn left, in Sarači street, you go to Bey's mosque, built ???? which is about hundred meters far from us, and Morica han, the historical monument of Bosnian hospitality is just 50 meters far from us.

Othervise, if you move right, you will be in the most aromatic street in the city. Food in this street is the best in Sarajevo. Sweets or salt meals, hot or cold dishes, national menus, it's only thirty meters above us. And on the end of this street, there is a City Hall, built during Franz Joseph's goverment in Bosnia, by very experinced master of architecture, Josip Vancaš. On 200 meters from City Hall, there are open swimming pools.

If you maybe get ill (we sincerelly hope that you won't), the hospital is 500 meters from us, and drugstore is almost next door. If you want to send a card to your friends or family, you choose post office on Latin Bridge (ex-Princip's bridge). From this place Gavrilo Princip has assassinated austro-hungarian price Franz Ferdinand, and then started the whole world war!

We are expecting you! Anytime of day, any time of year, we are on your service!
