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