Mostar was named after the wooden bridge (mostari – bridge keepers) which was on that place before it was rebuilt in 1520 into stone one. Bridge survived Ottoman period, Austro-Hungarian era, World War II, and in the war 1992 – 1995 Mostar was badly damaged and the Old Bridge of Mostar was entirely destroyed.

The Old Bridge was reconstructed and totally renovated in 2004. Materials used for renovation are stones from the original one pulled out from the river.

The Old Bridge of Mostar is inscribed on World Heritage List by UNESCO in 2005. Arrival on the Old Bridge will offer memorable view of river Neretva and surrounding antiquities.

Mostar and its Bridge are marked with a brutality of war and bad history, but it is a true testament to the courage and persistence of inhabitants of this city.According to UNESCO, “The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.”

Mostar city tour (Bosnia-Herzegovina)

This is an ideal trip for those who want to try something exotic and something else than that they are used to.

For centuries, Mostar has been a place where two different cultures meet: the western and the eastern one, as well as two different religions: Christianity and Islam. This is why you can see an interesting connection and mixture of civilization in the architecture, the customs and the life of the people of this old town, located on the river Neretva.

This is an ideal trip for those who want to try something exotic and something else than that they are used to.

The bridge on the river (UNESCO site), which gave this town the name, the bazaar, the mosques and a walk through Mostar will help you to feel the magic of the orient! Bosnian cuisine it's a exiting surprise by itself. It's balanced between Western and Eastern influences.

The food is closely related to Turkish, Middle Eastern, and other Mediterranean cuisines. However, due to years of Austrian rule, there are also many culinary influences from Central Europe: Ćevapi (Bosnian kebabs), Sogan-dolma (onions stuffed with minced meat), Sarma, Burek. . .
