Abstract
Between 1992 and 1995, Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia-Herzegovina, was subjected to the longest siege in recent European warfare. This chapter explores tourist consumption of the post-war landscapes of the siege, as recorded by travel bloggers between 2002 and 2013. Adopting an experiential perspective and drawing on blog entries for data, the chapter contributes to understanding the thanatourist experience. The chapter reveals travel blogs as a useful data source for thanatourism research; proposing that they represent a valuable resource for rich and reflective data in an emotionally charged environment.
