#Overseas celebrity photo spots #Overseas travel The Mostar Ancient Bridge in Bosnia🇧🇦 is a local landmark, located in the city center, the scenery near the ancient bridge is as beautiful as a postcard, be sure to visit! This ancient bridge witnessed a lot of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina✨, after being destroyed and rebuilt, it is now one of the United Nations Cultural Heritage Sites, the ancient bridge adopts Ottoman architectural style, and is also a typical Islamic architectural style💕 This bridge is made of stone🪨, very smooth, And once summer comes, many people will jump into the sea on the bridge, which is a street performance style, very interesting😍

Stari Most, also known as Mostar Bridge, is a rebuilt 16th-century Ottoman bridge in the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina that crosses the river Neretva and connects the two parts of the city. On 9 November 1993 Stari Most collapsed due to shelling by the Croatian Defence Council during the Croat–Bosniak War. In 2017, the appeal court deemed that destruction was legal since the bridge was a military target as the opposing Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina used it as a military supply line. Subsequently, a project was set in motion to reconstruct it; the rebuilt bridge opened on 23 July 2004. We were lucky to do a day trip here on a beautiful sunny day from Dubrovnik, Croatia. We had a lovely stroll in the old town, crossing Stari Most, stopped for a delicious local lunch and had enough time to walk down to the river for the spectacular views and photos of the bridge.

Most people head to Mostar when visiting Bosnia for famous Old Bridge. It’s no wonder; this busy and beautiful city is undoubtedly a great spot to see during a holiday. On top of Old Bridge there is always spectators and local people who will, for a few euros, jump in majestic style into Neretva river. Scenic spot is surrounded by traditional architecture, local restaurants with amazing food and modern hotels and B&B. Walking between souvenir shops and galleries, visiting museum beneath the bridge to learn about its history are worth a visit. This is a genuinely busy tourist spot both day and night, and it’s somewhere that always feels crowded or bustling. The town itself is pretty regular in terms of everyday life. Nothing is particularly out of the ordinary when you arrive, but the authentic way of life is something to behold.

The largest city in Herzegovina, Mostar is nevertheless small and enchanting, an Ottoman-era gem centred on the Neretva River. It is famous for its Stari Most, a stone, arched bridge built in the 16th century. It was destroyed during the Bosnian conflict in 1993 and rebuilt in 2004. Built from local pale stone, it arches steeply and is a popular jumping off spot for brave – some would say reckless – divers. The nearby alleys are full of shops and market stalls, the focus for much of the life in the city. A narrow staircase leads up to the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque’s minaret, perfect for panoramic city views.#urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #tripblazers #cafe #summervacation

Used Trip.com to find a trip from 🇨🇿 to 🇧🇦 for less than €10! I flew into Tuzla, stayed in Sarajevo and took a day trip to Mostar (pictured). Although the public transportation was less documented in terms of timetables, I had no trouble at all getting around by bus and train. What a beautiful country of both people and landscape- I will certainly be returning!

Mostar is a town located in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Balkan Peninsula. The most famous landmark is the Stari Most (Old Bridge), which spans the Neretva River and is a reconstructed medieval arch bridge Another special activity to see at this bridge is "diving". There is a tradition of young men in the city jumping from the bridge into the Neretva River. The first recorded record was in 1664. Since the Neretva River is very cold in winter and the water is turbulent, jumping from the bridge into the river is a very dangerous feat and only the most well-trained people dare to try it.

A World Heritage site in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula in Europe. The town, surrounded by beautiful nature, blends in with the surroundings and is very beautiful. The water is just so beautiful!! It was lined with cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops selling miscellaneous goods, and was bustling with tourists. #WorldHeritage

Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, #scenicspotguide#awesomepic

| Bosnia | Mostar | Mostar Old Bridge | Just selected by National Geographic Magazine as the best tourist destination in 2020, it is a town very close to Croatia. It is full of medieval style and Islamic characteristics, and the environment is also very free and easy. There are two versions of the origin of the name Mostar: the first is that it comes from the "bridge keeper" Mostari, and the other is that it comes from the "ancient bridge" Stari Most. They both confirm that Mostar has an inseparable relationship with the bridge. The old bridge was built in 1566 and was destroyed during the Bosnian War. After several years of restoration, it was reopened in 2004. It is 29 meters long, 4 meters wide, and the dome is 27 meters above the river surface, spanning the Neretva River like a rainbow. Guqiao diving is a traditional local men's competitive program with a history of more than 400 years. The icy cold water and the staggering height make this sport a life-threatening act that can only be attempted by trained people. I walked from Sarajevo to Mostar. Both places had traces of war, but the moods were completely different. The old streets in the old city have a strong Turkish flavor, with bronze ornaments, barbecue, and mosques, giving people the illusion of being in Turkey. As soon as I arrived in Mostar, I regretted not staying one more day. It is convenient to plan the itinerary before departure, but rather than follow a routine, I would rather go with the flow and do what I feel like doing, adding a little bit of unknown possibility to the journey. _____________________________________________ 📍 Stari Most, Mostar 88000, Bosnia & Herzegovina 🕑 Open 24 hours #mytravoto #LifeThisNeverEndingJourney #TravelInspiration #MostStylishTravelExperience #ScenicScenicPhotographyGuide #OverseasTravel

#holidayitinerary Mostar’s Old Town is a living tapestry of Ottoman charm and Austro-Hungarian elegance — cobblestone alleys, arched stone bridges, and whitewashed houses hugging the Neretva River. The iconic Stari Most (Old Bridge) is stunning in person, a true cultural and architectural gem. But be prepared — it’s very touristy. Cafés and souvenir shops line the narrow streets, and prices aren’t as budget-friendly as you’d expect in Bosnia. Even in October, the sun was relentless — bring a hat, sunscreen, and water. 🚆 Day trip by train from Sarajevo: • Departure: 07:05 • Return: 17:15 🕒 Tip: 3–4 hours is enough to explore the key sights. #Mostar #BosniaTravel #StariMost #BalkanTrip #TrainJourney #HiddenGems #TravelTips

#holidayitinerary 📌 Location: Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina The Stari Most bridge is both beautiful and symbolic—rebuilt after war to reconnect a divided city.

It’s about resilience and unity.
