Top things to do in Mostar

Top story from Mostar
Start early when the stones are cool and the lanes are quiet. Cross Stari Most and watch the current fold under the arch, then pause for thick Bosnian coffee and a slice of kadaif by the river. Later, head to Blagaj where the river rises from the cliff beside the dervish house, or keep the late light for Kravica where fine mist lifts from emerald pools. If you have time, climb Počitelj’s tower for a view over tiled roofs and the Neretva. Read more in our Stari Most guide, Blagaj Tekija guide, Kravica Waterfalls guide and Počitelj fortress guide.
