Zlatna Ribica Sarajevo

A cafe for old souls

Mia from Sarajevo

About me Hello, my name is Mia. I'm currently a student at the Faculty of Economics in Sarajevo. I'm very passionate about writing and exploring new places, so it's perfect when I can do both at the same time. I play the clarinet in an orchestra in my free time and I love to read books (currently reading Jordan Peterson). Other than that, I'm very easy-going, I love to joke with people and e...
""Zlatna Ribica" in Sarajevo is one of the city's most unique cafes. It has a breathtaking mix of retro items - and the best thing about it is the toilet!"

Zlatna Ribica is one of the most unique cafés in Sarajevo. The entrance itself already hints at what awaits you inside. The interior is full of decorative details, coins, posters, postcards, and even love notes. It's a "neat mess", as the owner likes to call it. With all the mix of items from the '20s, '30s, and '40s, you might even get lost in time during your stay there. What's most specific about the place is their toilet, believe it or not! You can find shampoo, make-up, a hairdryer and so much more in there; even an old phone if you need to call someone in the meantime.

The staff is always dressed in retro outfits and will welcome you warmly. If you get there during the day when there are not too many people inside, feel free to start up a conversation with the waiter, you won't regret it :DThey always have a story to share.
