What to See and Do in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina
The town of Mostar is one of Bosnia & Herzegovina’s most popular destinations, thanks to its outstanding natural beauty, architecture, and its famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Bridge (Stari Most). With cobblestoned streets, old stone buildings, and its beautiful bridge spanning the picturesque Neretva River, this town looks like it was plucked from the pages of a fairytale. It is also surrounded by stunning landscape waiting to be explored. This small town attracts thousands of visitors per year.
-One of Mostar’s most famous sites is the Old Bridge (Stari Most). Everyone wants to see the famous Old Bridge and courageous guys jumping into the blue river below. It crosses over the beautiful turquoise Neretva river, and is at the heart of Mostar’s historic Old Town. Stari Most is a 16th century, Ottoman-style bridge and Mostar’s most notable architectural landmark. Stretching 28 metres across the Neretva river, it connects the two sides of the city. Stari Most proudly stood there for 427 years, until it was destroyed in 1993 during the Bosnian War. Thanks to post-war restoration efforts, a new bridge was built in 2004. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, having received this status in 2005 soon after it was rebuilt, and it attracts thousands of tourists to Mostar every year.
-The stone streets of the Old Town are almost as charming as the bridge itself. The Old Town is small with just a few cobblestoned lanes on either side of the Neretva River. On these streets are cafes, restaurants and Old Bazar Kujundziluk filled with souvenir shops. These bazaars look like souks from the Middle-Eastern countries. Mostar is really a fun place to do souvenir shopping. You can find carpets, tea-sets, pots, ceramics, scarves, and dozens of other cute stuff from Mostar.
- Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque- This stunning mosque is not only an attraction itself, but is also a spot for some of the best views of the Stari Most. Built in 1618, Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque is a simple but pretty mosque. There is a small entrance fee that includes the climb up the minaret for 360º views of the bridge, and a stroll around the outside courtyard which also offers amazing views. The interior of the mosque is small but features some lovely ornate decorations, although it is certainly worth a visit just for the views. Outside the mosque is a garden area and fountain taps. You can also visit a lovely café, where you can relax with Turkish tea or coffee and watch the sunset.
- Crooked Bridge (Kriva Cuprija) - This stone bridge is a much more peaceful place to sit and enjoy a relaxing lunch at one of the nearby restaurants. Built in 1558, the bridge was a “test” before the construction of Stari Most began. Located a few minutes walk from the Old Bridge, Kriva Cuprija spans a small creek that feeds into the Neretva River.
- Muslibegović House - One of Mostar’s best examples of Ottoman architecture is the protected national monument, Muslibegović House. It was once inhabited by the noble Muslibegović family, and is now both a luxury hotel and museum.
Other interesting sites are the Muslibegović House, The Hamam museum, Karađoz Bey Mosque, Biscevic House…. and more.
