Discover the most important sites related to the Austro-Hungarian period in Bosnia and Herzegovina on a tour dedicated to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
The "Shot that Changed the World Tour" in Sarajevo begins with a visit to Sarajevo City Hall, an iconic Austro-Hungarian-era building. This location holds historical significance as it was meant to host Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie during their visit to Sarajevo.

Franz Ferdinand's visit, aimed at inspecting the imperial armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, coincided with historical and personal anniversaries on June 28.

The failed first attempt and the successful attempt by Gavrilo Princip are recounted, detailing how these events triggered World War I.

The tour includes visits to key sites such as the Latin Bridge, site of the assassination, Sarajevo Museum, Appel Quay, Gavrilo Princip’s Chapel, Hotel Austria, and Bosna. Each location provides insights into the life during Austro-Hungarian rule and the events leading to the assassination.

The journey continues to the Statue of Gavrilo Princip in East Sarajevo, shedding light on varying perceptions of Princip and his actions in Bosnia and the Balkan region.
