Historic Centre of Mostar

A beautiful place to visit, where the East meets West through the Stari Most. The old town, so to speak, is beautifully restored with its ancient bazaar full of goods made by local craftspeople, copper coffee sets above all. The mosques are a must, and if the opportunity arises, why not go swimming in the river Neretva? The atmosphere is very warm at night, with lots of people having leisurely Turkish coffees. In the rest of the city, you can see the traces of war and shrapnel in many of the buildings, a reminder of the recent bloody past. From around the citadel of Pocitelj, you should check out the spectacular waterfalls of Kravice, the Blagaj Tekija, and, for most Catholic among us, Medugorje.

The Old Bridge dominates the view of Old Town of Mostar. If you are adventurous, take a dive. #2 reason to visit Bih. #1 is Sarajevo.
