Stolac tours and things to do

Clear water slips under low arches, fig trees lean across stone lanes, and medieval stećci rest in a quiet field just outside town. Mostar sits close for cafés and galleries, while Počitelj and Kravica make simple nature and hill add ons.

Top things to do in Stolac

Top story from Stolac
Start by the Bregava where small bridges link the banks and swallows skim the surface. Follow short lanes to courtyards and riverside terraces, then drive a few minutes to Radimlja where rows of stećci carry carved borders and rosettes.

Pause for mint tea, then keep late light for a climb in Počitelj or, in summer, a shaded hour at Kravica’s emerald pools. Read more in our Radimlja stećci guide, Počitelj fortress guide and Kravica Waterfalls guide. The day moves from riverside calm to high views and easy water stops.
