Trg Oslobođenja - Alija Izetbegović is a central square in Sarajevo that links Ferhadija Street with Zelenih Beretki Street and is landscaped with trees and seating. The open area is crossed daily by pedestrians and contains multiple spots to sit and rest.

The square sits along a walkable route with benches scattered throughout for rest and observation. Nearby cafés, restaurants, and shops are within easy reach for refreshment or a quick visit.
A large outdoor chess set on the square serves as a gathering point where locals and visitors watch or play matches. This feature brings an engaging social element that keeps the space lively throughout the day.
