In Sarajevo, most supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and malls are closed on Sundays, with a few exceptions. Bakeries, gas stations, florists, cinemas, and some restaurants / catering businesses remain open.
However, if you need to run errands or go shopping on a Sunday, you can head to East Sarajevo (Istočno Sarajevo) – a separate administrative area that is part of Republika Srpska, just adjacent to central Sarajevo. Businesses there typically remain open on Sundays.
