It is not a hotel or even pension, it's a HOSTEL; a classic older-Bosnian style designed house, ready to accept guests and visitors from all over the world. Visitors of this guest-house face one of the most attractive panoramic views of Sarajevo..

This is because the house is placed almost on the top of the hill above the ancient old town, just below the old Austrian castle previously used as a military barracks (and known as Jajce Kasarna).
The guesthouse is surrounded by nice gardens, apple and plum trees.

Views of surrounding nature are available as well. You can see whole Olympic mountain of Trebevic and the valley with Miljacka river canyon. The house is in the oldest part of Sarajevo called Vratnik. It's accessible by car, by walk (10 minutes from the old center), by public transport or taxi.

The old tea-house was largely destroyed during the war. Now the reconstruction of the guest house POD BEDEMOM is realised due to humanitarian and private support. Therefore this project is a private initiative. It is reconstructed with the aim to support foreign people to enjoy the true spirit of Sarajevo and to support local people to work for a social reconstruction of their lives. Throughout the centuries, Sarajevo is an historical town. Ottoman-Turkish, Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav and sephardic-Jews influences left the town with many faces. The city has recovered from the war and the historical elements are preserved.

In the region of Sarajevo are many things to do. Rafting, hiking, skiing, swimming, horse-riding or a superb urban city tour are some of the possibilities.
The guesthouse Pod Bedemom can provide guides at an extra cost of maximum 50 Euro per day, depending on the wishes of the guests.
