Vilsonovo Šetalište (transl. Wilson's Promenade / Wilson's Lane)[1] is a promenade in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2] It is an important street for the city, however, in the afternoon hours and during weekend the traffic restriction is in force, and the promenade becomes a recreational area. The lane also bears a historical significance.[1] It was conceived during the Austro-Hungarian era.[3][1]
