Basçarsı Camii, also known as Baščaršija Mosque (or Havadža Durak Mosque), is a historic 16th-century Ottoman mosque located in the heart of Sarajevo's old town, Baščaršija. It is easily accessible on foot within the pedestrian-friendly old bazaar area, though visitors should be mindful of cobblestone streets. Visits can be conducted solo, but a guided tour often enhances the experience with historical context. The mosque is generally open year-round, though visitors should dress respectfully (shoulders and knees covered, women typically cover their heads) and be mindful of prayer times, during which visits may be restricted. Entry is typically free, with donations welcomed, and a typical visit duration is about 15-30 minutes, allowing time to appreciate its architecture and historical significance. It remains an active place of worship, and photography is generally permitted respectfully.
