The 10 Best Sights & Landmarks in Mostar, Herzegovina-Neretva Canton
Mostar (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [mǒstaːr]) is a city and municipality in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inhabited by 105,797 people, it is the most important city in the Herzegovina region, its cultural capital, and the center of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation. Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most recognizable landmarks, and is considered one of the most exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.

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.

Beautiful area to walk along the streets, cross the bridge and take lots of photos that are postcard worthy! Nice places to stop for ice cream, coffee, and shop for local artwork. Some good restaurants as well with million dollar views. We found everyone to be very friendly and accommodating.

Tucked away in a little side street behind the main drag, this bridge is every bit as beautiful and graceful as the famous one - and much less frequented. There are many shops and restaurants around the area as you would expect and it is particularly good to visit at night - and perfectly safe for a woman on her own.

I loved this picturesque little square which is in the more modern part of town, and yet still close to the Old Town. Here you can see the old and new collide with many new buildings going up and old ones riddled with bullet holes and grafitti from the war standing side by side, including the shell of the Neretva Hotel and of course Sniper Tower. There are many shops and restaurants close by and it is a useful area by which to get your bearings.

Lovely old Turkish dwelling, lots of artifacts and traditional costumes on display. The street and courtyard are cobbled so solid footware is essential. Snacks and drinks were delicious too and welcoming on a hot day.
