Overview
Mostar's iconic Stari Most, a graceful Ottoman arch reconstructed after wartime destruction, soars over the emerald Neretva River. The cobbled old town buzzes with coppersmiths, cafés, and daring divers who leap from the bridge into the cold water below.
Top attractions
Cross Stari Most, browse the Kujundžiluk bazaar, visit Blagaj Tekke, and watch the bridge divers in summer.
Getting around
The compact old town is entirely walkable, and taxis or buses reach Blagaj and Kravice Falls nearby.
