Splendid night view of Marshal Tito Street (Ulica Marsala Tita), the main commercial and pedestrian artery in central Sarajevo. The elegant Austro-Hungarian style buildings with their eclectic facades line the illuminated boulevard, testimony to the period of Habsburg rule between 1878 and 1918. Tram tracks cross the street where shops, cafes and restaurants enliven the nightlife of the Bosnian capital. This street represents the European face of Sarajevo, in contrast to the nearby Bascarsija, the Ottoman quarter of the city, creating that unique mix of cultures that characterizes this fascinating Balkan metropolis.
