~6 to 9 hours across three days, spread over two transfer blocks and short local hops.

Day
Walk terrace and step angles of Stari Most and the quiet arc of Kriva ćuprija. If you like narrow stairs, the Koski Mehmed Paša minaret gives the overhead frame; otherwise use the east-bank terraces for a low, wide view.

Old stones and short steps in the core; terraces have rails.
Mostar.
Day

Walk the Arslanagića Bridge, then sit under plane trees in the old-town squares. Choose Vjetrenica Cave for a lit, steady route with handrails and cool air, or a Tvrdoš cellar tasting for Žilavka and Blatina in stone-cool rooms. Drivers do not drink.
