Souvenirs
There are
many types and styles of handcrafts made here in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. From gold jewelry to oriental rugs to Turkish style
coffee and tea sets, to beautifully carved wooden boxes or tables,
to traditional dresses of the ancient highlanders of the Serb,
Croatian and Bosniak people. Colorful socks, jumpers, and hats - all
made from pure wool - can be found in the old quarters of any town.
When you're shopping for yourself or a friend make sure to haggle a
bit…it's the way of the east and that tradition too has held strong
through the centuries. Craftsmen and women here are good, honest
folk and a friendly bargain is just part of the trade. Good luck!
Few crafts are given the appreciation and significance as the craft
of processing and shaping gold, an art that has developed in the
Balkans throughout the centuries.
The goldsmith's craft counts among few crafts which survived the
rapid changes in the development of human society, and one of the
places where this craft has been cherished and developed is
Sarajevo. The famous work of the Sarajevo goldsmiths makes the city
even more attractive - in a way even exceptional...
