Mostar: The Stone Bridge and the soul of Herzegovina

Join us on a day trip to Mostar, a day trip with lunch included.

Just a 45-minute drive from the peace of Medjugorje lies Mostar, a city where sun, stone, and the emerald Neretva River meet. This excursion takes you into the heart of Herzegovina, to a place where Oriental architecture and Mediterranean charm tell stories of centuries-old coexistence. Feel the pulse of a city that is rightfully listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

ITINERARY:
• Morning departure from Medjugorje.
A pleasant drive through the Herzegovinian karst and vineyards toward Mostar.
• Guided city tour with a local expert.
Walk through Kujundžiluk (the old bazaar), visit the Crooked Bridge (Kriva Ćuprija), and the city’s main symbol – the Old Bridge. Learn the story of its construction, destruction, and magnificent reconstruction. A key highlight is the visit to the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque (or Karađoz Bey Mosque), one of the most beautiful monuments of Ottoman architecture in Herzegovina. You will have the chance to experience the peace of its interior, while its shadrvan (courtyard) offers the most stunning view of the Old Bridge for the perfect photograph.
• Traditional Herzegovinian Lunch.
Enjoy authentic flavors in a restaurant located in the very heart of the Old Town. The menu features local specialties suited to every taste.
