Today you enter only a short section. The story needs the full length.
Dug beneath the airport runway in 1993, the Tunnel of Hope carried people, food, medicine and equipment between besieged Sarajevo and the outside world.
The official museum is near Sarajevo Airport rather than in the Old Town. Independent entry is possible, while guided tours add transport and the geography of the siege.
If you already have transport, use the official museum information. A guided route is most useful when it connects the tunnel to Sniper Alley, the airport and the shape of the siege.
Use the official memorial page for current museum information and arrange your own journey to the site.
A focused Sarajevo route built around the tunnel and the city’s survival during the siege.
A guided option designed to remove the taxi and public-transport problem while explaining the wider wartime landscape.
