Where Is Park Hastahana?

Park Hastahana, officially Nijaz Duraković Park, is in Marijin Dvor, close to Sarajevo's city centre. The location is convenient for tourists staying around Marijin Dvor, Ferhadija or Baščaršija. It is also close to several Sarajevo attractions, shopping centres, cafés and restaurants. You can easily combine the festival with a walk through the city centre before arriving at Hastahana in the evening.

Getting There by Rent a Car Sarajevo service providers.

From Sarajevo International Airport, the journey to Hastahana normally takes around 15–25 minutes, depending on traffic. There are several Rent a Car Sarajevo airport service providers at the terminal.

However, driving directly to the festival shortly before 19:00 may be inconvenient because of increased evening traffic and limited parking around Marijin Dvor. If you have a rental car, arrive early and use an authorized parking area or garage nearby. After parking, walking to Hastahana is generally easier than trying to move the vehicle around central Sarajevo.

Parking Tips

Parking spaces around Marijin Dvor can fill quickly during popular summer events. Use marked parking spaces or official garages and avoid blocking pavements, entrances or residential access. If you are travelling with a rental car, do not leave passports, luggage, cameras or other valuables visible inside the vehicle.

With more than 50 beer varieties advertised for the festival, visitors can expect a broad selection of drinks alongside different food options. If you are driving, choose a designated driver who does not drink alcohol. Alternatively, leave the rental car parked and return to your accommodation by taxi or on foot.

Never drive after drinking.
