    Small but interesting museum far away from downtown; come here by car / taxi; interesting audioguide straight on you smartphone - have your battery charged; video presentations are not appealing to general public; small interesting tunnel gear museum; tunnel itself has only 5 m long; bonus - you get to see planes taking off; private paid parking; no wi-fi;

    The tunnel is the most important on my way to Balkan due to I realized that United Nations, European Union, NATO are ridiculously toothless institutions. It is sad memorial of last Jugoslavian war.

    Generally speaking it’s ok, very small though. And the public transportation isn’t so convenient but still doable. They don’t accept Euro, but if you tell the cashier you don’t have local currency, he will tell you pay someone else then come back. So we paid the fee that way

    It's the house of Kolar family. That used as one of the gate of Sarajevo underground tunnel. Constructed during the three years siege of Sarajevo. It helps many people. Now, we just see a view meters of the original lenght. The house is now a also a little museum. The family still live there. We saw videos, and some stuffs from the war.

    Even though I've never entered this museum I took the liberty of writing a review, here is why.
    I live nearby to the location and often see people being in doubt and desperatly searching for this place. Not much signs show the location therefore the approach can be tricky. Best is to use google maps or ask the locals around. Sometimes big tourist buses also go lost and such block the traffic on the very narrow street.
    There are two parkings: one in front of the museum which is designed for cars and one for tourist buses: on the lawn covered by tiny rocks aside of the museum.
    At the moment a woodden cottage is being built at the back of the bus parking. I hope/assume it will be a coffee place (kafana) where the tourists can get refreshments (right no there is no place to buy things like that).
    However there is a souvenir shop next to the entrance, less equipped: merchandise and magnets available.
    The entry fee is much more then the museum provides.
    The museum represents the tunnel which through the people during the Siege got the food and supplies from the airport. Therefore there is another end of the tunnel (the two are not connected anymore) which is open from the other side of the airport. (on the main airport road a signs shows its location).

    Other historic sites feel so long ago, while this one is just few years ago, knowing that people my age had to live few years of their childhood through something like this.

    This is a war museum in which a tunnel of 25m in length is open to the public.
    The width is about 1m plus and the height is about 1.6m.
    Most of the time you have to keep your head low.
    There is a video room showing the war in Bosnia Hecergovina.
    There are also some displays for visitors to see and a house converted into a small museum.
    Located very near to Sarajevo Airport.

    You will experience a chilling vibe when you climb through the Tunnel of Hope.
    Built in 1993, this underground passageway connected the occupied city of Sarajevo with Bosnian held territories on the other side of Sarajevo Airport. An entire city's worth of supplies (food, humanitarian aid, war supplies, and even livestock) had to pass through this 1km long, 5-foot high tunnel during the war.

    Nice place to visit. You get a very clear idea of what the Sarajevo Siege must've been like. We had a guide with us: I'm not sure if it'd be as good on your own.

    Tunnel dug out by prisoners of the war! Not much truth in the story of this tunnel. Sad story what happened to one of the nicest multicultural cities. Most old Sarajevo residents no matter what religion would agree. Although not many left in the city these days.

    It was historical and so much information is supplied to help you better understand it's purpose. It is fun and interesting for children also. The tunnel is quite narrow so strollers will not fit. I wish you could go through a larger amount of the tunnel, rather than just 25 ft. I loved it though, it was so cool to experience the history in an interactive way.

    When you are already in Sarajevo, this place is worth visiting in order to see what happened during the siege. Entrance fee is pretty cheap and you can also walk through on old part of the smuggling tunnel.

    Interesting displays, a short video and small museum and you can walk through a small section of the tunnel. The audio guide (through your smartphone) has some really long files (20 min each) with heaps of information so leave yourself lots of time if you're interested in learning all about the tunnel!

    Definitely a must see. Make sure you use Google Maps, and research the directions in advance, as it's located in a random house in a backwoods part of town. The tunnel itself is not that impressive, as it is closed due to structural instability, however the museum part is fantastic, and it paints a realistic picture of what people had to content with during the war. Just seeing those lunch packets again, brings back the taste of the army-ration peanut butter, and the driest crackers in the world.
