Mostar is one of the main cities of Herzegovina, and its name comes from mostari, referring to the people who stood guard at the city’s old bridge. Mostar is strategically located between the Adriatic Sea and resource-rich central Bosnia, and this gave Mostar growth over the years. In 1468, the city came under Ottoman rule, and Mostar was fortified in the period 1520-1566, which was also the year when Sultan Suleiman the Mighty replaced the city’s old wooden bridge with the current one made of stone, which is Mostar’s landmark.
Stari Most is the central and most famous of Mostar’s bridges. Both the bridge and the surrounding part of Mostar’s old town were included in UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage in 2005. Stari Most connects the two halves of the city, and over the years there have been jumping competitions from the bridge into the river Neretva. One can enjoy the bridge from the walk above it and from the accessible riverside area below.
Mostar’s Old Town is an exciting place to explore. To the west of Stari Most, you can take a walk in the city’s bazaar area with narrow streets and many shops, while on the eastern side, for example, you can visit the Muzej Stari Most museum and enjoy the view of Stari Most from perhaps the best-known vantage point. There are also several mosques worth seeing in the neighborhood, such as Koski Mehmed-pašina džamija, which was built in 1617-1618.
There are also fine buildings elsewhere in Mostar than in the old part around Stari Most. An example is the Mostar Gymnasium, which was built in neo-Moorish style in 1893. The town’s bathhouse, Mostarskog bataljona, is in the same style as the gymnasium. You can also see the city’s beautiful Orthodox church from the years 1863-1873, the modern Catholic church from the 1980s and the cultural center Hrvatski Dom Herceg Stjepan Kosača from 1959, which stands as Mostar’s most impressive building from its time.
Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina and it is a beautifully located city with many sights to see. The Ottoman Bazaar Quarter is as an atmospheric center, surrounded by the beautiful 19th-century Habsburg buildings, constructed in the decades leading up to World War I, where Sarajevo was growing rapidly.
Sarajevo’s name is historically linked to World War I, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was murdered during a visit here in 1914. Historically interested visitors can see the place where it happened and learn more about both that year and much more from the city’s history at Sarajevo’s museums.
Dubrovnik is a Croatian city and one of the tourist gems of the Adriatic with a great location and an exciting history, dating back to both the Roman Empire and the centuries as an independent republic with a large and thriving trade.
The old town behind the heavily fortified walls and towers is the heart of the city and the reason that so many tourists visit Dubrovnik. Narrow alleys, beautiful streets and fine squares with a wealth of architectural masterpieces are some of the things you find here. The prosperous past of the city as Ragusa does reflect the city scene along, for example, the main street Stradun.
Split is a city with a beautiful location along the Croatian Adriatic coast, and it is a city and area with a long and interesting history that can be easily and immediately seen and enjoyed on a stroll around the city center.
The original town in the area was situated a bit north of modern-day Split, but then Diocletian became Roman ruler. Diocletian chose to resign as emperor to a colossal palace at his hometown, and it formed the center of the development of the present Split.
