Famous for its stunning Stari Most (Old Bridge)—a breathtaking Ottoman-era arch spanning the emerald Neretva River—Mostar is a city etched with history. Painstakingly rebuilt after the Bosnian War, the bridge symbolizes resilience. Wander the cobbled streets of the old bazaar, sample Bosnian coffee and Ćevapi, and feel the unique blend of Ottoman and Balkan cultures. The surrounding Herzegovina region offers Dervish monasteries (like Blagaj Tekke) and Kravice waterfalls, making Mostar a deeply affecting and beautiful stop in the heart of the Balkans.
