Discover Mostar
Mostar isn't just a postcard of its famous bridge; it's a living, breathing palimpsest of history where the 16th-century Ottoman Empire meets the scars and resilience of the 1990s. The true magic unfolds in the cobblestone labyrinth of the Old Bazaar, where the scent of strong coffee and grilled ćevapi mingles with the hammering of coppersmiths, and the call to prayer from the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque minaret echoes over the emerald Neretva River.
This is a city best experienced through its contrasts: watching the heart-stopping leap of a bridge diver from the Stari Most, then descending to its banks to see the poignant 'Don't Forget' stone. Mostar demands you feel its layers, from the ornate Turkish houses and bustling market stalls to the hauntingly beautiful, bullet-riddled buildings that stand as silent memorials, offering a powerful and unforgettable lesson in cultural coexistence and recovery.
Why Visit Mostar?
1
Witness the Iconic Stari Most: More than a bridge, it's the city's soul. Watch the famous divers leap from 24 meters, walk its smooth, ancient stones at sunset for breathtaking views, and learn about its meticulous 2004 reconstruction, a symbol of reconciliation.
2
Immerse in Ottoman History: Step back centuries in the Old Town (Stari Grad). Explore the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque for panoramic views, shop for handmade copper in the Kujundžiluk bazaar, and visit the Turkish House (Bišćevića Ćošak) to see authentic Ottoman architecture.
3
Experience Powerful Recent History: Confront the poignant legacy of the Bosnian War. See the 'Sniper Tower' (former bank), walk the divided Boulevard, and visit the Museum of War and Genocide Victims to understand the city's resilient spirit.
4
Indulge in an Affordable Culinary Journey: Enjoy incredible value. Feast on plates of ćevapi (grilled minced meat) at local buregdžinicas, savor slow-cooked Bosnian pot (bosanski lonac), and experience the ritual of Turkish coffee in a traditional kafana.
5
Use as a Gateway to Natural Wonders: Mostar is the perfect base for stunning day trips. Swim under the majestic Kravice Waterfalls, explore the medieval fortress town of Počitelj, or take a scenic train ride to the coastal gem of Sarajevo.
6
Capture Unforgettable Photographs: From the perfect arch of Stari Most framing the river and minarets to the dramatic light on the Old Bazaar's cobblestones and the stark beauty of abandoned buildings, it's a photographer's paradise at every turn.

Local Tips & Insider Knowledge
- •Visit the Stari Most early in the morning (before 9 AM) to have it almost to yourself for photos without the crowds.
- •For the best view of the bridge divers, stand on the west bank near the diving club. Divers usually collect tips before jumping, typically from May to September.
- •Wear sturdy, flat-soled shoes. The cobblestones in the Old Town are incredibly slippery, especially when wet.
- •When paying in cafes, it's common to round up the bill to the nearest convertible mark (BAM) as a small tip.
- •Try 'klepe' (Bosnian meat dumplings) at Restoran Šadrvan, a local favorite just off the main bazaar.
- •For a unique souvenir, buy a handmade copper coffee set (džezva and fildžani) from the coppersmiths in Kujundžiluk.
- •Take the scenic train to Sarajevo. The route through the Neretva canyon is one of Europe's most beautiful rail journeys.
- •Carry cash (BAM). While cards are accepted in larger restaurants and hotels, many small shops, market stalls, and cafes are cash-only.
- •Respect prayer times when visiting active mosques like Koski Mehmed Pasha. Dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) and remove your shoes.
- •Don't just stay on the main bazaar street. Wander the smaller side alleys to find quieter, more authentic workshops and cafes.
Mostar Food Scene
Mostar's cuisine is a hearty fusion of Ottoman, Mediterranean, and Slavic influences, centered around grilled meats, savory pastries, and rich stews. Dining is a social, affordable affair, with meals often enjoyed in garden courtyards or bustling traditional eateries.
Must-Try Dishes
Ćevapi (grilled minced meat sausages)
Burek (meat-filled flaky pastry)
Klepe (Bosnian meat dumplings in sauce)
Sogan-dolma (stuffed onions)

Bosanski Lonac (Bosnian pot stew)
Traditional Bosnian
- • Ćevapi at Tima-Irma
- • Klepe at Restoran Šadrvan
- • Bosanski Lonac at Hindin Han
Order a 'porcija' (portion) of ćevapi which typically comes with somun (flatbread), onions, and kajmak (creamy dairy spread).
Coffee & Sweets
- • Turkish coffee at Cafe de Alma
- • Baklava at Miris Dunja
- • Tufahija at any traditional restaurant
When your Turkish coffee grounds settle, you can have your fortune told from the patterns in the cup (a local tradition called 'kafa sa falom').
River & Grill
- • Fresh trout at Restoran Blagaj Tekija
- • Mixed grill platters at Urban Grill
- • Roasted lamb at Restaurant Labirint
The trout from the Buna river spring in Blagaj is exceptionally fresh and best enjoyed at a restaurant overlooking the water.

- • Pita (pie) from local bakeries

Frequently Asked Questions about Mostar
Is Mostar safe for tourists?
Yes, Mostar is very safe for tourists. Violent crime is rare. Standard precautions apply: be aware of your belongings in crowded areas and use licensed taxis. The city is still visibly divided, but this does not pose a safety risk to visitors.
Do I need a visa to visit Bosnia from the EU/US?
Citizens of the EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand do not need a visa for tourist stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure date.
Can I use Euros in Mostar?
The official currency is the Convertible Mark (BAM or KM), which is pegged to the Euro (1 EUR ≈ 1.95 BAM). Some tourist shops, hotels, and restaurants may accept Euros, but you will almost always get a worse exchange rate. It's best to use local currency.
How long should I spend in Mostar?
We recommend 2 full days to explore Mostar itself: one for the Old Town, bridge, and museums, and another for the Partisan Cemetery and West Mostar. Add an extra 1-2 days if you plan to take day trips to Kravice, Počitelj, and Blagaj.
Is English widely spoken?
Yes, English is widely spoken in the tourist industry (hotels, restaurants, tour guides). Younger generations are particularly fluent. In more local shops or with older residents, you may encounter limited English, but people are generally helpful.
What is the best way to get to Mostar?
Mostar is well-connected by bus from regional hubs like Sarajevo (2-2.5 hours), Dubrovnik (3 hours), and Split (4 hours). It also has a small international airport (OMO) and a train station with a famously scenic route to Sarajevo.
Can I drink the tap water?
Yes, tap water in Mostar is safe to drink and is of very good quality, sourced from mountain springs. Locals drink it regularly. This also means you can confidently order drinks with ice.
Is Mostar wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, the historic Old Town with its steep, uneven, and slippery cobblestone streets and many steps is very challenging for wheelchair users. Some newer parts of the city and major hotels are more accessible, but overall access is limited.
