Sarajevo City Center, Sarajevo

Sarajevo City Center (SCC) is a modern icon at the heart of Sarajevo’s Marijin Dvor district, blending upscale shopping, entertainment, dining, and hospitality under one roof. Completed in April 2014, the complex consists of a spacious multi‑level shopping mall, a five‑star hotel tower (Swissôtel Sarajevo), and a separate office tower, all served by one of the region’s largest parking structures with over 1,100 spaces.

Within the mall’s roughly 49,500 square meters retail space-spanning floors one and two and a pedestrian promenade-visitors can browse around 80 internationally renowned brands in fashion, sports, tech, beauty, and more. Beyond shopping, the third and fourth floors host an entertainment zone with bowling lanes, simulator games, bumper cars, a children’s playroom, and billiards, while the food court and 15+ restaurants-with seating for over 550-offer everything from local Bosnian specialties to familiar international chains.

Just a short tram or bus ride (or a comfortable 5‑minute walk) brings you to Sarajevo’s historic Bascarsija district-a labyrinth of Ottoman-era alleys, artisan workshops like Kazandziluk and Kovaci Street, and iconic landmarks such as the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and the Old Synagogue. While SCC offers the comforts of air‑conditioning, modern architecture, and free Wi‑Fi, Old Town delivers the soul of Sarajevo’s centuries‑old multicultural heritage.

For tourists visiting Sarajevo, SCC is an ideal base to recharge or indulge between explorations. Its modern design and facilities offer a contrast to the historic charm of the old city-perfect for picking up souvenirs, grabbing a bite, or escaping a sudden rain shower-with the bonus of cultural events or small exhibitions occasionally held in its open spaces. Whether you're hunting for fashion or planning a family outing with kids, SCC delivers a polished, convenient experience nestled in a city renowned for resilience and hospitality.
