info@bbicentar.ba, www.bbicentar.ba. The crème de
la crème of Sarajevo’s shopping centres, it’s 43000m² of
capitalism gone wild and the only modern mall in the centre
of town. Opened back in April it took the place of the older
Sarajka shopping centre that was one of the symbols of
Sarajevo prior to the war. The architecture both inside and
out is quite impressive - if perhaps not to everyone’s taste
- and the selection of shops is the widest you’ll find anywhere
in the city. Even if you’re not looking to shop the five floors
of air conditioned asymmetry can be an attractive place
to wander during the hot summer months. QOpen 09:00
- 22:00, Sun 09:00 - 21:00.
