About Casino Hotel Hills Sarajevo
Casino Hotel Hills Sarajevo is Bosnia's most prominent gaming venue, operating within the Hotel Hills — a five-star property perched on the forested hillside above Sarajevo's basin, with panoramic views over one of Europe's most historically layered capital cities. Sarajevo sits at the confluence of the Miljacka River and the surrounding Dinaric Alps in a valley whose relative narrowness contributed to the city's particular urban density and its dramatic wartime vulnerability during the 1992–1995 siege — the longest siege of a capital city in modern warfare history.
The city that emerged from the siege has become one of Europe's most discussed travel destinations: the Ottoman old quarter (Baščaršija), the Habsburg-era Austro-Hungarian boulevard (now called Ferhadija), the Latin Bridge where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 triggering World War I, the Tunnel of Hope that was the city's lifeline during the siege, and the Bobsled Track from the 1984 Winter Olympics (now graffitied and reclaimed by forest) create a compressed history lesson unlike anywhere else in Europe.
The casino floor offers roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker, and slot machines in the Hotel Hills's five-star environment. Sarajevo's tourist economy has grown substantially since the 2010s as travellers have discovered a city of extraordinary culinary richness (the burek pastries, ćevapi, and Bosnian coffee culture are genuinely distinctive), remarkable architectural honesty about its own difficult past, and accommodation prices that remain well below Western European equivalents — making it one of Europe's most rewarding and underrated capital city destinations.
