This self-guided walking tour traces Mostar's 500 years of history, from Ottoman rule and Austro-Hungarian rule to the war that shattered the city and the rebuilding that followed.
You'll start at the 16th-century Karađoz Beg Mosque, wander the coppersmith stalls of Kujundžiluk, and climb the minaret of the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque for views over the Stari Most and the Neretva River.
Experience Mostar's iconic bridge from every angle, hear how it was destroyed in the war and rebuilt stone by stone, and visit the Museum of War and Genocide Victims.
The route also passes the site of the old synagogue and the twice-rebuilt Church of Saints Peter and Paul before ending at the beach beneath the bridge's arch.
