Sarajevo - Post Report Question and Answers
Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
Yes. Even people without physical disabilities can find it difficult. Some disabilities would be more serious than others: If you can not do any steps at all you will be limited (there are many curbs without ramps). If you have any breathing issues you need to know that the AQI hits 300+ during the winter. - Mar 2024

This is not a handicapped-accessible city in the least. A couple of newer malls are accessible, but that's it. You never see any handicapped people out and about in Bosnia. I only saw a large number during a period when a Moroccan "healer" was in town at the Olympic stadium -- then many came out for that. - Aug 2011
A lot of difficulties. Broken sidewalks, limited ramps. - May 2011
It would be hard, but not impossible. New facilities like recently construced malls do have ramps, and most two story shopping facilities have elevators. - May 2010
A lot. Bumpy sidewalks, few wheelchair-accessible sidewalks, many buildings do not have elevators, or the elevators often break down. - Jun 2009
Getting around town would be challenging as handicap facilities are not common. Many streets have narrow or no sidewalks and people tend to park everywhere blocking the walking areas. - Mar 2009
A lot, no side walks, a lot of holes and poles where you don't expect them etc. - Dec 2008
