Amra was raised in mahalas (neighborhoods in Turkish quarters of the city) around Kovači and Medrese. That part of the city has changed dramatically since her childhood.
- Kovači once had a beautiful park with swimming pool, flowers and lawns where we used to play as children. In the winter that park turned into plazalište - slope for sledding. Unfortunately, the park became a cemetery, and a final resting place for some of the children who used to play there.
Amra spent her high school and university years in Ćumez, a place where many generations of First Gymnasium students went for coffee. Today things are slightly different, but she is still in some ways connected with that place.
- Ćumez is at the same location even today. I don't go there anymore, but my son does. As a high school student, she used to spend her evenings at café Dedan, at Baščaršija, which was extremely popular at the time and which no longer exists today.
- We also hung out at SOS, Muppet ... One of good places to go out was a disco club Bosna in Jelićeva Street, then Sloga and Dom mladih where I still go, and I'm getting ready for Disco 40+ Party at Sloga.
Amra takes her daily coffee at At Mejdan, and her favorite restaurant is Kod Kibeta, and for evening outings she prefers The Club or depending on the program - Coloseum Club.
As far as shopping in Sarajevo goes, she told us that BBI Center has interesting boutiques, but she doesn't shy away from open-air market Sirano. When asked what her favorite building in Sarajevo is, Amra replied Jajce Barracks and arguing that it would be an ideal location for a city museum with a variety of cultural and tourist services and facilities. She also added that the best view of the city could be seen from Bijela tabija.
When asked which the most important festival in Sarajevo is, Amra responded:
- From the professional point of view Baščaršija Nights and , but privately I have to say . Finally, we wanted to know which places should someone, in town for only one day, visit to get to know and feel our city.

Kozija ćuprija
Sakrivena u dramatičnom, stjenovitom kanjonu gdje je Miljacka najuža, Kozija ćuprija ponosno stoji kao jedini u cijelosti sačuvani most iz osmanskog perioda na rijeci. Sagrađena u zlatnom 16. vijeku na legendarnoj Carskoj džadi, ova kamena ljepotica predstavlja vrhunsku arhitektonsku eleganciju. Isklesana većim dijelom od bijelog hrešanskog kamena, plijeni poglede svojim vitkim lukom i dva prepoznatljiva kružna otvora koji joj daju prividnu lakoću. Njeno ime i danas krije veo tajni;…
