Ambassadors' Alley, Tree avenue in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Ambassadors' Alley is a pedestrian route in Sarajevo that stretches for several kilometers along a canyon and is lined with linden trees. Each tree bears a stone plate with the name of a diplomatic representative, forming a green passage without vehicle traffic.
The first tree was planted in 2002, starting a tradition that showed the international community's commitment to the city after the war. The route gradually developed through subsequent plantings that followed this initial example.
The tree-lined path grew as a symbol of reconciliation following the conflict, with each linden representing a person from the international community. Visitors can read the names on stone plaques and understand how the city preserves its worldwide connections through these living monuments.
The path connects two locations without vehicle traffic and is safer to walk in the evening thanks to lighting near the name plaques. Sturdy footwear is recommended, as the route runs along a canyon and can be uneven.
The route will become part of a larger bicycle path system that connects Sarajevo with a nearby town. This project integrates the tree-lined path into a modern transportation network and creates new ways to explore the area.
