Kujundžiluk (Old Bazaar)
Kujundžiluk
A cobbled old market on the east bank of the bridge, lined with copperware workshops, carpet shops and souvenir stalls. It is the liveliest street in the Old Town.
Kujundžiluk takes its name from the coppersmiths who gathered here during the Ottoman era. Along the paved street, low stone-house shops sell hand-hammered copper coffee pots and plates, embroidery, carpets, and pens made from recycled war shell casings. The street runs all the way to the old bridge, with several viewpoints and riverside restaurants along the way, where you can try ćevapi (grilled minced meat sausages) and Bosnian coffee. Browsing is free, and there is little room to bargain. The polished stones are very slippery, so take care on rainy days. The busiest time is midday, when cruise passengers and day-tour groups arrive.
