Mostar — The City of the Old Bridge

Mostar — The City of the Old Bridge

Bosnien 📅 16 Aug 2023 ⏱ 1 Min. Lesezeit 👁 5

Mostar is one of the most beautiful and historically significant cities in the Balkans, rebuilt from the ruins of war into a symbol of resilience.

Mostar's Stari Most (Old Bridge) is one of the most iconic sights in all of former Yugoslavia. The 16th-century Ottoman bridge, destroyed in 1993 and rebuilt in 2004, arches perfectly over the emerald-green Neretva river.

The old town around it — cobbled streets, bazaars selling copper work and textiles, minarets and clock towers — is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and genuinely one of the most atmospheric places in Europe.

📍 Location

Stari Most, 88000 Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

💡 Practical Tips
  • 1 Walk the old bridge at sunset for the best light

Mostar deserves more than a day trip. The old bridge at sunset, the call to prayer echoing through the bazaar — deeply moving.
