Experience the highlights of Bosnia and Herzegovina on a scenic day trip from Makarska to Mostar and Blagaj. Travel in a comfortable air-conditioned van and enjoy beautiful landscapes along the way. Water and drinks are included during the journey.
After about 1 hour and 45 minutes, arrive in the historic city of Mostar, where you'll have 3 hours of free time to explore the town.
Stroll through the picturesque cobblestone streets of the old town, visit the vibrant bazaar, and discover traditional craftsmen practicing old trades. Experience the rich Ottoman heritage of the city as you explore historic mosques, small artisan shops, and lively market streets, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this fascinating place.
The highlight of your visit is the UNESCO-listed Stari Most, where you can often see brave local divers jumping into the emerald waters of the Neretva River. You may also wish to try authentic Bosnian cuisine in a local restaurant, such as ćevapi or burek.
On the way back, visit the breathtaking Blagaj Tekke, a 16th-century Dervish monastery built in 1520 and nestled beneath a towering 240-meter-high cliff. Set at the stunning spring of the Buna River—one of the most beautiful karst springs in Europe—this peaceful location offers a unique blend of natural beauty and history. Take time to explore the surroundings, capture memorable photos, or simply enjoy the tranquil atmosphere before returning to Makarska.
