Short-break travellers who want an easy old-town weekend with one riverside day trip and late-light views.
Mostar core → minaret view → riverside dinner → Blagaj → Počitelj → Kravica in season → Mostar.
~1 to 2 hours across two days.
On foot in the old town; short taxi or guided transfer for Blagaj, Počitelj and Kravica.
Day
Walk the lanes around Stari Most for terrace angles and river frames. Cross to Kriva ćuprija for a quiet arc and water sound, then return through copper lanes for kahva (Bosnian coffee).
Pause near the bridge for a small plate and a shaded seat. If heat builds, step into a cool house museum or a riverside gallery for an hour.
Climb the Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque minaret for the classic overhead frame. If you prefer to stay at ground level, use the east-bank terraces for a low, wide angle.
Riverside dinner with the arc lit at dusk. Take a slow lane loop back through the bazaar.
Keep the minaret optional and use terraces for wide views with rails.
Old-town cobbles and short steps; lanes are narrow near the bridge.
Day
At Blagaj Tekija, stand by the Buna spring under the cliff, then step into the courtyard and rooms. Dress modestly for interiors.
Drive to Počitelj for a short, steady climb to the keep and terrace views over the Neretva. Save time for a cool drink in the shade.
In season, finish at Kravica Waterfalls for terrace views and a late swim in marked zones. Out of season, extend Počitelj or add a short stop at the Čitluk wine belt with a driver.
Return to Mostar for a simple lane loop and a riverside dessert.
Keep Počitelj short and time Kravica for late shade.
Blagaj paths are level; Počitelj has worn steps; Kravica uses marked paths and terraces with rails.
Walk everywhere, easy for dawn and dusk frames, many cafés.
Quick access to terraces, minaret, and quieter streets at night.
Evening light on the arc, simple returns after dinner.
Old-town sights are on foot. Blagaj is about 20 minutes by taxi; Počitelj about 30 to 40 minutes; Kravica about 45 to 60 minutes. Guided transfers keep timing simple.
Minaret is ticketed and narrow; go off-peak. Blagaj requests modest dress and shoes off in certain rooms. Kravica tickets and swim rules are posted at the gate in season.
Closed shoes with grip for cobbles and steps, a light scarf for interiors, water and sun protection in summer.
Keep back from low parapets; do not attempt jumps; swim only in marked zones at Kravica; no drones in the old town or over the river.
See Food and wine in Bosnia and Herzegovina for tasting ideas if you skip Kravica out of season.
Keep Day 1 ground level on terraces; on Day 2, shorten Počitelj and add more time for Blagaj shade or a shallow shelf at Kravica in season.
Use a guided Herzegovina day for Blagaj, Počitelj and Kravica; the rest is on foot.
Pair Blagaj and Počitelj with a cellar tasting instead of Kravica; keep the minaret optional in cold wind.
Swap Kravica for a Čitluk tasting block with a driver; return to Mostar for a lane walk and dessert.
Extend with Trebinje bridges and Vjetrenica Cave.
Keep Day 1 only and add Blagaj by taxi late morning.
April to June and September to October give soft light and easier lanes. Summer works with early starts and late shade.
Only for confident climbers with an adult. The stair is narrow and the platform is small and ticketed.
Yes. The old town is on foot. Use a guided day for Blagaj, Počitelj and Kravica.
At Kravica in season and only inside roped areas. Never near falls or outside marked zones.
Day 1 is a compact old-town loop. Day 2 has a short hill in Počitelj and marked paths at Kravica. Wear closed shoes with grip.
