No person stays in Mostar and does not walk through the Old Town. The Old Bridge is a recognizable sign of the city, but you can also find other landmarks next to it. Visits to religious buildings, museums, and galleries are just one of the ways to spend time in Mostar.

The Hub of Fine Arts is a unique art space in Mostar that hides the works of great artists of the 20th century: Degas, Modigliani, Matisse. Mostar is also an open-air gallery: hundreds of unique murals and graffiti are scattered around the city as a result of the Street Arts Festival. Fortresses and towers around the city can be your addresses for day trips, and Blagaj’s Tekke and the tower of Herceg Stjepan Kosača or Počitelj can be some of the first choices.

For a simple, affordable, and comprehensive trip through the enchanting Mostar woven with history and culture, we recommend the Mostar City Pass, a tourist card that offers numerous benefits to visitors for visiting cultural facilities and sights.

Gastronomic pleasure for all palates

The narrow streets of the Old Town hide small restaurants with local cuisine, from which the smells of dolma, japrak, and sataraš. Traditional cuisine also includes fish, and the pearl of that menu is eel.
