Description

Explore Mostar on a guided walking tour. Discover the old town, visit the Stari Most bridge, and see the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque.
Begin your walking tour in the old town, where narrow stone streets and traditional shops create the atmosphere of a place that hasn’t changed much in hundreds of years. As you move through the bazaar, notice handmade crafts, copperwork, and local souvenirs that reflect the city’s long artisan tradition.

The highlight of the tour is, of course, the famous Stari Most, the Old Bridge. Originally built in the 16th century during the Ottoman period, it stood for over 400 years before being destroyed during the war in the 1990s. It was later rebuilt and today stands as a powerful symbol of connection, resilience, and unity. You might even see local divers jumping from the bridge into the Neretva River, which is a long-standing tradition here.

As you continue, learn about Mostar’s more recent history, including the war in the 1990s, which left visible marks on the city. See buildings that still carry scars from that time, serving as reminders of how much the city has gone through.

Visit the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque, where those interested can climb the minaret for one of the best panoramic views of the city, especially of the bridge and river below. Throughout the tour, hear local stories, daily life insights, and recommendations for food, drinks, and places to explore after you finish.
