What to do and see in Mostar, Herzegovina-Neretva Canton: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

June 23, 2021 Karren Gelb

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.

Spanish square

Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom

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.

Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom

This is the main street that runs through the heart of the Old Town - lively and bustling from morning through until dusk and lined with shops and restaurants of all desciptions. Here you can try and famous Bosnian coffee and buy a set to make your own, you can also buy jewellery and handicrafts of all descriptions, you can book tours of the area and learn about the history of the town and its famous bridge and of course you can sit and watch all that goes on.
