Top Attractions in Mostar

Mostar Essentials

Mostar showcases a blend of Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian history centered around the iconic 16th-century Stari Most. The city’s core features the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque and the smaller, stone-built Crooked Bridge over the Radobolja River. Nearby, the village of Blagaj contains the medieval Stjepan-grad fortress and the Vrelo Bune, one of Europe’s largest karst springs. The city also preserves 20th-century history through the Brutalist Partisan Memorial Cemetery and museums dedicated to the 1990s conflict.
