Mostar is a short 2-3hr drive from the Croatian coastal cities of Split and Dubrovnik - making it an excellent choice for a day trip. Most of the Town was destroyed during the civil war but has been painstakingly restored. The focal point is the iconic bridge which is packed with tourist waiting to watch local men jump the 21 metres in to the ice cold water below. Firstly, it’s a show for money - so be expected to contribute. Secondly it’s not for the faint of hearted - 21m is a long way day, especially diving in to water just 6m deep. Either side of the bridge are shops and restaurants where you can stop for lunch, a beer and watch the performance.

It is always fantastic to see medieval tombstones in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Radimlja is a great site with well kept "stecaks". If you are close to Stolac or Mostar, do not hesitate visit it!

Bascarsija is Sarajevo's old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the city. Bascarsija was built in the 15th century when Isa-Beg Isakovic founded the town. The word Bascarsija derives from the Turkish language. The word "bas" which is "bas" in Turkish literally means "head", in some contexts however also "primary", "main", "capital" and "carsija" which is "carsi" in Turkish means "bazaar" or "market". Due to the large fire in the 19th century, today Bascarsija is half the size that it once was. Bascarsija is located on the north bank of the river Miljacka, in the municipality of Stari Grad. On Bascarsija there are several important historic buildings, such as the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and sahat-kula. Today Bascarsija is the major tourist attraction of Sarajevo.

We had a wonderful stay in Sarajevo, for almost a month, before a sudden departure, (due to covid-19), the highlight of the city is definitely, the old neighbourhood, we spent most of our time here just walking the alleyways, enjoying the food, (which is amazing) and the coffee houses, (a wonderful experience) we highly recommend starting a visit, with a free walking tour of the old town to get your boots on the ground. Our faves: Cock tower and bakery, (Pekara Imaret loacated within the courtyard), Bosna eatery Baklava coffee shop
4. Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque

Gazi Husrev-beg's mosque was built in first half of sixteenth century by Gazi Husrev-beg, Bosnian Governor (sandzakbeg) and grandson of Sultan Bajezit II. It is one of the most monumental mosques built in the Ottoman period and is the center of religious life of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The mosque is the part of vaqf (foundation) established by Gazi Husrev beg, which is still the heart of the old town of Sarajevo. During the Siege of Sarajevo in Bosnian war the vaqf complex was fired by more than thousand grenades but, thanks to its solid structure and two meter thick walls, the mosque survived. After the war it was thoroughly repaired using the original ornaments found on the walls.

This would have to be one of the centre points of the old town especially on Friday, (pray day), when It seems all worshippers of Sarajevo congregate here, (still nice to be in the area, as there is a real vibe) . Any other day we would recommend the tourist/visitor to visit, the courtyard and interior, as it is the largest historical mosque in Bosnia, its pretty hard to miss.

Located within the bazaar, stands this ornate gazebo style fountain, basically the central part of the old town, every visitor will end up here at some point, makes for awesome piccies with the pigeons in flight, one thing though be-aware of pick pockets, they are like lions, looking for a stray gazelle, that has left the pack.

The Gazi Husrev Beg Museum represents a unique place where visitors can acquaint themselves with the character of Gazi Husrev Beg and the history of his waqf (endowment). The contemporary exhibition is thematically organized in the former rooms of the students of the Madrasah...

The museum is rather small, but informative. You can see the history of Sarajevo. They also have one of the tombstones that enlisted on the Unesco heritage

The hike was uphill and a little difficult for me as I am not used to uphill climbs being from North Carolina but it was worth it! The view from the top is beautiful! I visited twice during my time in Sarajevo and took a bunch of great photos. The area at the top is open and suitable for picnics etc.
