Planning the visit
The historic centre is easy to visit on foot. In summer, start early: the heat can be intense and the lanes become crowded. Staying in or near the old town lets you enjoy Mostar early in the morning and in the evening, after day groups leave.
Food and local experience
- Choose a terrace with a Neretva view, not only a bridge view.
- Try grilled dishes, dolma, fresh salads and local pastries.
- Plan a shaded coffee break during hot hours.
- Ask for seasonal Herzegovinian specialities.
