Mostar, the jewel of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a city where time seems to stand still, where the whispers of the past still echo through the cobbled streets. In the old town, the beating heart of Mostar, the laughter of locals and visitors, the gentle flow of the Neretva River, and the ancient stories whispered by the old stones blend harmoniously.

The Stari Most bridge, a symbol of unity and resilience, stretches majestically over the river, connecting not only two shores but also the souls of locals and visitors. Here, travelers quickly feel at home, welcomed by the warmth of local smiles. 

We asked people who were born and raised in Mostar, as well as tourists, to tell us what they love most about this romantic city. We expected different answers, but they were surprisingly similar.

“I think the most beautiful part of the city is the Old town, it’s our trademark.” answered our question  Rejhana from Mostar

“The best part is the Old town and Stari most” - comments one of Spanish tourists .

For those born and raised in this ancient city, the Old Town is more than just a place; it is a living testament to their heritage, a space where history and daily life blend seamlessly. They find joy in welcoming visitors, eager to share the beauty that has shaped their identity. As they extend their hospitality, they leave an indelible mark on those who pass through.

“Every day we see new faces, meet new people and provide them unforgettable moments.” -tells  Rejhana.

Wanderers come to Mostar drawn by its allure but leave with memories of its people. They are captivated not only by the stunning vistas and the Neretva River’s emerald waters but also by the warmth of the locals, who treat them not as strangers but as friends.

“People here are so nice and so funny.”

In the Old Town, past and present converge, creating a unique tapestry of experiences that unites everyone who walks its streets. 

It is here, in the heart of Mostar, where the souls of those who stay and those who are just passing through are forever bonded together.
