Sarajevo je glavni i najveći grad Bosne i Hercegovine. Osnovao ga je 1462. godine osmanski zapovjednik Isa-beg Ishaković. Najveći broj znamenitosti potiču iz osmanskog i austorougarskog perioda. Debelo brdo u okolini Sarajeva je značajan i arheološki slojevit lokalitet s ostacima iz  neolitskog, bronzanog i željeznog doba, s tragovima starim 2.000 p.n.e. gdje je pronađeno prahistorijsko gradsko naselje. U 4. vijeku ovdje je izgrađen refugij, odbrambeni objekat iz antičkog i kasnoantičkog perioda. Još 1462. godine u Sarajevu je izgrađen prvi vodovod i javno kupatilo. U stambenoj arhitekturi u periodu nakon 15. vijeka u dvorištima kuća dominiralo je zelenilo, a pored mahalskih i čaršijskih džamija tekla je voda iz česmi. Kroz grad teče rijeka Miljacka koja se ulijeva u rijeku Bosnu. Na udaljenosti od oko 12 kilometara od centra grada nalazi se vodopad Skakavac, visok 98 metara. Na istoj udaljenosti nalazi se Vrelo Bosne, koje svojom prirodnom ljepotom očarava mnogobrojne posjetioce. U Sarajevu su održane XIV zmiske olimpijske igre, a oko grada se nalaze olimpijske planine: Jahorina, Bjelašnica, Igman i Trebević, omiljena izletišta Sarajlija.
