Sarajevo City Card - Official

Please do not buy this card.
This card is not worth it. I went to 5 museums on the list. Only 2 of them accepted this card. Also, I couldn't get on a cable car with this card.
I bought this 88.90 KM (almost 45 EUR). I could only use it for 14 KM. Additionally, I needed to spend 52 KM to get a cable car and museum tickets.
They kindly made a refund. It seems the staffs on holiday shift did not know about this card.

"The initiative around having one card…"
The initiative around having one card that gets you entry to most of the museums in the city is a really good one. However some of the museums listed as covered by the card were not part of the scheme when we turned up. It also ended up working out more expensive than paying for the museums separately because we did not take advantage of the public transport and there was ongoing maintenance of the tram network while we were staying.

"Due the different buscompanies i…"
Due the different buscompanies i couldnt use the card from humska to the city center. The advertising says all busses and trams except the bus from airport but unfortunelity that is not true. Now i had to pay for the bus and taxi. I only used it now for the cable car......i paid 45 euro for the card for 72 hours. Now i only used 15 euro for the cable car. So no Sarajevo card for me in future.

"Think twice before you buy!"
In general it's a good city card to have IF you are traveling extensively by public transport (buses, trams owned by GRAS) and you are FOR SURE interested in and will DEFINITELY go to MOST of the museums listed in the city card that grants you free access to.
However, in my own experience, the public transport is extremely unreliable and some trams that I was supposed to take, never arrived, or could have almost an hour delay. If you stay in down town or old town, walking probably gets you places quicker, and taking a taxi a few times a day for 3 days you likely end up paying the same as the cost of the city card.
Most museums I was interested in and were popular (Crimes agains Humanity museum, Gallery 11/07/95, Siege of Sarajevo Museum, National Museum etc) are not covered by the city card. During the 72 hours I held the card, I took the tram three times (no need to validate city pass) and the only time I took a GRAS bus and when I showed the driver the City Pass, he said it is not accepted and I had to buy a ticket for the ride.
With the City Pass I visited the history museum, Jewish museum, and used it for a round trip cable car, plus 3 times using the tram. The total cost if I had to pay individually, would've been much cheaper than the cost of the 72 hour city card itself.
Just think twice before you buy the card.

"It would have been great if you could make the card more user friendly and review the price. …"
It would have been great if you could save the digital card into your phone wallet, in my case Apple Wallet. I had to take a snapshot of it just in case I couldn’t open the email it was sent in.
Also, many places weren’t equipped to deal with the card. They all accepted it but they had to search around for the device to process it.
Also, I’m not sure if it actually saved me any money. It’s too expensive given that the holder might not want to visit every place on the list (the only way the card actually saves money).

"The site said we can buy it from a desk…"
The site said we can buy it from a desk at the airport..the desk said us only online..we lost two hours..and the site said you activater the card with the first scan..we realise that the card gets activated with the buy.

"Amazing Tool to get the Sarajevo Experience"
The card is very helpful and worth buying as you get to visit many museums for free though some museums are quite small I still believe it's worth the price as you can use the trams for free that run around the city furthermore you get some discounts at restaurants which provide some authentic Bosnian food! The best thing about the card is the free cable car return ride usually you got to pay extra for a return some people walk down the mountain which does have some incentives like walking down the mountain you can take pictures in certain areas but it can be tiresome so having the return trip for free is very much worth the price.
So overall pretty could a 4.5 rating imo because small museums aren't amazing especially for paying as a family but if you use the trams a lot to see other attractions etc it evens out the cost. :D

"Convienient"
Straight forward to use. A tram inspector just glanced at the image copy of the card on my mobile and moved on.
