Top things to do in Mostar

Mostar is considered the most beautiful and romantic city in the Balkans. And we really recommend spending a weekend here. Mostar combines stunning mountain views with medieval architecture. Everything around is reminiscent of knightly times. Walk around and enjoy the colorful streets of the quiet city.

We got to Mostar by high-speed train. From the capital of Bosnia, Sarajevo, there are high-quality European trains, the cost of a round trip is no more than $15 per person.

Stari Most (Old Mostar Bridge)

Sights

The famous Ottoman bridge in Mostar is a symbol of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The bridge that connected Christian and Muslim lands was completely destroyed and reconstructed after the war in the 90s. Now, for fun, the locals arrange diving with it and beg money from tourists. We also supported the jumpers and donated a pretty penny. They say the height is about 25 meters, and the river itself is one of the coldest in the world.

Kriva Ćuprija (Crooked Bridge)

Insta places

The oldest arch bridge in Mostar.

In Mostar, tourists want to photograph every small place. For brighter shots, we recommend the spring-summer period - the city has a lot of greenery and flowers, which will definitely affect your impression.

Carinski Most

Insta places

A view concrete bridge connecting the business center of the city with the railway.

If you walk from the railway station to the city center, this bridge will be the first point that will make you admire the views of the river and take your cameras out of your pockets.

Our recommendation

URBAN taste of orient — a cafe with traditional breakfasts and Bosnian coffee. Be sure to book a place. On one of the floors there is a veranda with a view of the Old Mostar Bridge — ask to be seated there, you will be able to take pictures without tourists.

Blagaj Tekija

Sights

Muslim monastery in the Blagaj village near Mostar.

A fascinating place surrounded by rocks and waterfalls with crystal turquoise water - just 15 minutes by taxi from Mostar. This place looks as magical in person as it does in the photos!

Restaurant Vrelo

Restaurant

A place with a view of the Dervish monastery.

For us, this restaurant became a saving island at +35°. It is surrounded on all sides by small streams, so the air around is filled with the light and pleasant sound of water and the aroma of freshness.

Monument to Bruce Lee

Sights

Modern monument to a Chinese film actor.

We didn’t understand what this monument was doing in Mostar, but they say it was the first in the world.

Mostar Peace Bell Tower

Sights

The 107-meter bell tower is the tallest building in Mostar.

For $3 you can go upstairs to look at the city from above. But the bells ring every 15 minutes - we do not recommend being inside at this moment.

Railway station

Transport

Mostar city railway station.

Trains from the capital Sarajevo arrive here. Don't worry if the trains are not running on schedule, we had a whole hour and a half delay on the way back - we just had to wait for the train on the platform.
