What you can expect
You will first visit the place of the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie Chotek, that changed the history of the World, with a brief explanation of our staff. A visit to the Latin Bridge and Austro-Hungarian hotel, the ‘Hotel Europe’. Furthermore, we will talk about Gavrilo Princip and visit the place he was prisoned, after killing the duke Franz Ferdinand. The last stop will be a VR presentation and film about the Austro-Hungarian empire, the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and life of Gavrilo Princip. The very first tourist company in Sarajevo dealing with VR technology. WELCOME TO THE PAST!
Your journey begins at the location where Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie were assassinated in 1914 — the event that changed world history. Our guide will give you a brief but engaging explanation of the historical background and significance of this moment. You'll then visit the famous Latin Bridge and pass by the iconic Austro-Hungarian Hotel Europe, both key landmarks from that era.
You'll learn more about Gavrilo Princip, the man behind the assassination, including a visit to the place where he was held after his arrest.
The final and most immersive part of the tour takes place at the Sarajevo VRX Immersive Museum, the first virtual reality museum in BiH. There, you'll watch a 360° VR film that brings the storey to life — from the political tensions in the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the final moments of the Archduke’s journey and the life of Gavrilo Princip. An accompanying exhibition shows what everyday life and architecture looked like in Sarajevo at the beginning of the 20th century.
Whether you're a history enthusiast, a curious traveller, or a family looking for an educational and engaging activity in Sarajevo – this museum offers a fresh and memorable way to experience the past.
