===Geography===
Sarajevo is near the geometric center of the triangular-shaped [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]] and within the historical region of [[Bosnia (region)|Bosnia proper]]. It is situated {{cvt|518|m|ft|sp=us}} [[Height above sea level|above sea level]] and lies in the Sarajevo valley, in the middle of the [[Dinaric Alps]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sarajevo.ba/en/stream.php?kat=78 |title=About Sarajevo – Official Sarajevo statistics |date=6 September 2015 |publisher=sarajevo.ba |access-date=6 September 2015 |archive-date=29 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160429094339/http://www.sarajevo.ba/en/stream.php?kat=78 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The valley was once an expansive, fertile, and green space, but considerable urban expansion and development took place following World War II. Forested hills and five major mountains surround the city. The highest of the surrounding peaks is [[Treskavica]] at {{cvt|2088|m|ft|sp=us}}, followed by [[Bjelašnica]] mountain at {{cvt|2067|m|ft|sp=us}}, [[Jahorina]] at {{cvt|1913|m|ft|sp=us}}, [[Trebević]] at {{cvt|1627|m|ft|sp=us}}, and [[Igman]] the shortest at {{cvt|1502|m|ft|sp=us}}. The last four are also known as the Olympic Mountains of Sarajevo.

When the city hosted the [[1984 Winter Olympics]], venues were constructed at these mountains for many winter sports events. The city is developed within hilly terrain; some steeply inclined streets and residences perch on the hillsides.

The [[Miljacka]] river is one of the city's chief geographic features. It flows through the city from east through the center of Sarajevo to the west part of the city, where it eventually meets up with the [[Bosna (river)|Bosna]] river. Miljacka River is also known as "The Sarajevo River". Its source (''Vrelo Miljacke'') is {{cvt|2|km|mi|abbr=off}} south of the town of [[Pale, Bosnia and Herzegovina|Pale]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://draganmocevic.com/vrelo-miljacke-sramota-za-turizam-republike-srpske-i-bih/#.VeuXgHtzqf4 |title=Vrelo Miljacke – sramota za turizam RS i BiH |date=23 December 2013 |publisher=draganmocevic.com |access-date=6 September 2015 |archive-date=16 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151016032742/http://draganmocevic.com/vrelo-miljacke-sramota-za-turizam-republike-srpske-i-bih/#.VeuXgHtzqf4 |url-status=live }}</ref> at the foothills of Mount Jahorina, several kilometers to the east of Sarajevo center. The Bosna's source, [[Vrelo Bosne]] near [[Ilidža]] (west Sarajevo), is another notable natural landmark and a popular destination for Sarajevans and other tourists. Several smaller rivers and streams, such as [[Koševski Potok]], also run through the city and its vicinity.
