Warzone / Movie: The Bosnian war (1992-5), as seen in Welcome To Sarajevo (1997)

Level Of Heat: Sarajevo is apparently only "the 14th worst place on Earth," says one U.N. guy here, but try telling that to inhabitants besieged by kill-happy Serb forces.

The hothouse atmosphere gets too much for ITN reporter Michael Nicholson (Stephen Dillane), who stops observing and turns hero to rescue a Bosnian orphan.

Has It Cooled Down Since?  Now that it's back in the hands of the locals, yes - just ask Bosnia & Herzegovina's official tourist site.

"Sarajevo is a city in which even strangers can feel at home.

Neither geographically expansive nor characterised by large buildings, the city retains a particular, arresting charm with its abundance of busy café's and abiding tradition of hospitality."
