When the weather is nice, Sarajevo has several great spots where parents can relax while kids play outdoors. It’s a good idea to make reservations at restaurants during lunch or dinner hours, especially on weekends.
- Hotel Villa Andrea (Trebević) – Just a short drive from the city, this peaceful hotel offers a spacious playground next to its outdoor terrace, surrounded by nature and with easy on-site parking.
- Hotel Monti (Igman) – About 40 minutes from Sarajevo, Monti has a large playground in front of the hotel (access: 5 KM/day, paid at reception). It’s beautiful for walks, though weekends can be crowded. The hotel also offers day passes for its indoor pool and spa.
- Hotel Pino Nature (Trebević) – A favorite among locals and tourists, with free playground access, an outdoor terrace, and hiking routes nearby. Easily reachable by car or a walk from the Sarajevo cable car. The restaurant serves local and international dishes, and staff speak English.
- Sunnyland (Trebević) – Just minutes from the city center, this popular spot features a thrilling alpine coaster, indoor and outdoor playgrounds, and a café/restaurant with scenic views. Be sure to arrive early on weekends—parking fills up quickly!
- Carlsberg Beer Garden – If you’re strolling along Vilsonovo šetalište, why not make a pitstop at the Carlsberg Beer Garden. There is an indoor and outdoor playground for kids and, during the summer, the beer garden plays host to a giant bouncy castle slide and bungey trampolines.
