Tito's Bunker Tour Overview

Step into the world of Yugoslavian social-communism and uncover its fascinating history, from its golden era to its tragic downfall. This immersive tour takes you on a journey through the highlights of Yugoslavia’s past, guided by stories from locals who lived through the Siege of Sarajevo.

Begin in Konjic, a charming town where you’ll explore Tito’s Nuclear Bunker, a top-secret Cold War relic and a testament to Yugoslavia’s “soft communism.” Discover its hidden corridors, elaborate designs, and the vision of a nation prepared for a nuclear future.

Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan to Sarajevo, where you’ll visit the War Tunnel Museum and hear firsthand accounts of survival during the longest siege in modern history. Learn about the dramatic breakup of Yugoslavia and its impact on the region.

Venture to the Igman Mountain, an essential site during the 1984 Winter Olympics, where you’ll see the Olympic Ski Jumps and the abandoned Hotel Igman, a haunting reminder of Sarajevo’s war-torn past. Finally, ascend to Trebević Mountain to explore the iconic Olympic Bobsled Track, now a canvas for street art, and enjoy stunning views of Sarajevo.

This small-group tour combines history, culture, and nature, offering a unique perspective on Yugoslavia’s complex legacy and Sarajevo’s resilience.

Useful NoticeIn just 9 to 10 hours, experience a cost-effective and immersive journey that combines Tito’s Bunker with other essential sites like the War Tunnel Museum, offering a comprehensive understanding of Yugoslavia’s history and the Siege of Sarajevo.

Konjic Old Town

On the way to Tito’s Nuclear Bunker in nearby town of Konjic, we will observe the Markale Massacre sites, the Bosnian Presidency building, Sniper Alley, Marshall Tito Barracks, the Bosnian Parliament and some other sites crucial for understanding the irreversible crash of Yugoslavia and Sarajevo under the siege.

Drive will continue the ride through suburbs of Sarajevo and areas of central Bosnia until we pass Ivan Mt. and enter the region of Herzegovina. As soon as in Herzegovina, we’ll start descending as region of Herzegovina is generally on lower altitudes and is totally different climate, so you’ll notice dramatic natural, environmental and usually climate change.

First stop of the day is a short visit to old part of unique, prehistorically inhabited Konjic, town famous for its 17th century 6-arch Old Bridge, looming over turquoise Neretva river, usually very sunny place and a home to one of the most expensive Yugoslavian projects – Tito’s Nuclear Bunker, or also called: Facility D-0, Atomic War Command (ARK).

We pass by:

  • Markale Markets (largest massacre sites in Sarajevo during the 1992-1995)
  • Eternal Flame (memorial dedicated to the victims of the WW2)
  • Children Memorial (memorial dedicated to 1601 killed child in Sarajevo during the 1992-1995)
  • Presidency (Bosnian Presidency house)
  • Parliament (Bosnian Parliament building)
  • Holiday Inn Hotel (Built for the 1984 Olympics, and used by journalists and reporters during the Siege)
  • National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Home to famous  for Sarajevo Haggadah among other exhibits)
  • US Embassy
  • Ex Marshall Tito Military Barracks (Home to JNA troops at the beginning of the Siege)
  • Neighbourhoods of Pofalići, Grbavica, Nedžarići, Alipašino Polje, Stup, Ilidža  and Butmir
    Suburbs of Sarajevo such as Hadžići, Pazarić, Tarčin and Bradina

reasons to visit sarajevo

Tito’s Nuclear Bunker

It took 26 years to build this 6500 m2 miracle of construction with a purpose of withstanding a possible nuclear war and providing a shelter to over 350 Yugoslav leaders and army generals.

We will wander around this amazing structure and venue for a biennial of contemporary art while discovering the labyrinth of Yugoslavia mysteries, cold war fanaticism and communists paranoia while discussing the possible reasons of fall of Yugoslavia and it’s rigid consequences.

As a third most expensive JNA military project with spendings of cca. 4.6 billion USD, facility D-0, Tito’s atomic war command (ARK), was built to accept, accommodate and protect 350 people and enable successful management and command over the armed forces in case of nuclear warfare.

Sarajevo War Tunnel was dug in July 1993 and used to be main supply route to Sarajevo during the Siege

Igman Olympic Mountain with Ski Jumps and Igman Hotel

Later we will head towards Sarajevo and follow up the story of besieged city and harsh position its citizens went through in a barbaric bargain for life. Initial visit will be Igman Olympic mountain and its Olympic heritage in shape of Olympic Ski Jumps. Take photos at Olympic podium or climb the ski jumps and imagine the atmosphere from 1984 Olympics.

Also structure we can not miss at Igman mountain is, Igman Olympic hotel. As Yahoo Travel wrote: “Built in a spirit of optimism, unity, and teamwork for the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics, the 162-room Igman Hotel was a showplace for mountain luxury but was brutally torn apart, along with the rest of the city, during the Balkan War and siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s.”

Surely place not to miss.

Sarajevo Cable Car

Sarajevo War Tunnel Museum

Later we will visit the Sarajevo War Tunnel where we will explore the museum exhibition and see many interesting exhibits directly associated with Siege of Sarajevo, watch a short movie about the urgent need for building this essential underpass, followed by going through the Tunnel itself.

Sarajevo Olympic Bobsled Track at Trebevic Mountain

Trebević Mountain & Olympic Bobsled

After the Tunnel museum, we will head towards the famous Olympic Mt. Trebevic while passing through the Olympic Village Dobrinja. We will hear additional stories about 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympic Games and visit Olympic Village Dobrinja with its Olympic story and its painful but heroic war story. Learn about besieged neighbourhood in a besieged city.
Our next location will be Trebević, Olympic Mt. which by vast majority of its length was a first line during the Siege and place of many battles on many battlefields.
At the site we have the opportunity to see where the real destruction appeared such as Zlatište, Osmice, Sarajevo Bobsleigh from the period of 1984 Winter Olympics (today featured at the top of the Worlds most beautiful abandoned places lists), Trebević Vidikovac and many other destroyed facilities and sites.
 
We shall see the remains of bunkers, minefields, tank caterpillar traces, tranches, bullet and grenade shrapnel and many many other interesting sites of destruction, which today, at the present time, haven’t yet being repaired or restored. They just stand there like the 22 years after the war haven’t even passed already.

Jewish Cemetery Sarajevo

The tour is very much enriched with great panorama views, especially from the very top of Trebević mountain where you get the real feeling what the great mice and cats game had been played, and how the Republic of Srpska forces (VRS) with such a great advantage never got the real chance to take over Sarajevo city.
 
Upon return to the city last stop of the day will be Jewish Cemetery, known for its historical importance as it is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe, but during the Siege of Sarajevo was the main front line and sniper nest of the Republic of Srpska army.
 
Drop off at any place in Sarajevo you want with a high recommendation of having a cold beer or warm coffee at famous Tito caffe.

Important Notice

If you only plan to visit Tito’s Nuclear Bunker at Konjic, without other stops in our itinerary, that is fine and we can easily modify this tour for you.

However, most of the tour offer on the market does cover Tito’s Bunker, but usually as solo visit from and back to Sarajevo. Funky Tours alternatively, offers several other stops which are on the way, and which crucially maximise your time, understanding of the topic and your money.

Why visiting Sarajevo War Tunnel, Olympic Bobsled, Igman hotel, Olympic ski jumps or Tito’s Nuclear Bunker in two or even three different days, when you can put everything easily into one day, and still get much more.

We believe that mix of stories covering utopia and breakup of Yugoslavia, in combination with Siege of Sarajevo chronology is the best way to spend a day.

1Good tour

Salim was our tour guide and was an actual soldier during the war in the 90s for the Bosnians. He shared with us a lot of his personal experiences and thoughts from the war period and it was quite moving. This is really what drew me to this tour and it did not disappoint. The tunnel of life museum is really a must see.

Tito bunker is apparently a modern art museum thing now in addition to being a bunker so you’ll see interesting art in random rooms of the bunkers (seemed really odd at first but I kinda got into it as the tour went on).

We ended at the bobsled tracks. My recommendation here is to take the cable car down to old town instead of driving back in the car (since you’ll have been driving a lot already that day). It does cost 20 marks.

Also … Bring LUNCH and water. The tour doesn’t stop for lunch and you’ll be with the tour group all day.

Also… I just love driving in this country. You’ll see what I’m talking about when you get here

A Full Week with Funky Tours (Sarajevo, Mostar, Dubrovnik, Kotor, Tirana and Ohrid)

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending 7 days with Funky Tours on various city tours, overnight tours, and transfers / transport. This company is one of the best we have ever booked with in ANY country. Whether its Culture, History, Food, Spending time like a local…they have got you covered.

Our food tour with Stefan, Siege tour with Adnan, Tito’s Bunker tour with Adis, and Dubrovnik, Montenegro and Tirana with Hamza were all phenomenal, all great guides and truly professional.

Their knowledge, kindness and flexibility was something that started in our initial planning with Edna, she is wonderful, and once we were on the ground in Sarajevo, Eldin welcomed us into their office and checked in everyday to make sure everything was going smooth!

If you’re looking for true professionals in the Balkans, whether specific tours or transport Funky Tours will go above and beyond to take care of you!

Thanks for making our trip so special! Regards, M&M
