Discover the timeless beauty of Mostar on a private walking tour. Explore the Franciscan Church of St. Peter and Paul, the Old Bazaar, the Crooked Bridge, the Old Bridge, and the Mehmed Koski Pasha Mosque.

Start your journey in Mostar at the Franciscan Church of St. Peter and Paul, home to the city's tallest bell tower. This modern yet historically significant site offers a unique contrast to Mostar's Ottoman heritage, setting the stage for your deep dive into the city's diverse past.

From there, walk toward the Old Bazaar (Bazaar Kujundziluk), where cobbled streets lead you through centuries of history. Pass by traditional artisan shops, bustling market stalls, and historic stone houses as your guide shares stories of Mostar's vibrant trade routes and cultural influences.

Next, stop at the elegant Crooked Bridge, a charming, lesser-known gem often seen as a smaller version of the famous Old Bridge. Then, arrive at the tour's highlight-the Old Bridge (Stari Most). This stunning UNESCO-listed landmark stands as a testament to Mostar's resilience, having been destroyed and rebuilt as a symbol of unity. Learn about its history, the famous diving tradition, and the importance of the Neretva River that flows beneath it.

Finally, your tour concludes at the breathtaking Mehmed Koski Pasha Mosque. Step inside one of the best-preserved Ottoman mosques in the region, admire its intricate interior, and, if you wish, climb the minaret for a spectacular panoramic view of Mostar.
