Mostar

The great poet and Nobel laureate Ivo Andrić once wrote this about the bridges: “Everything that a man in a lifetime ascends and builds is nothing in my eyes better than bridges. They are more important than houses, more general than temples.” The city of Mostar, the urban, economic, political and cultural center of Herzegovina, is truly best known for its bridges which connect two banks of the Neretva River, a green and powerful river that every man experiences in a special way. Whether you watch it during warm mornings in Mostar in May, or you refresh in this river during the summer heat or you get scared by its power when you watch brave men jumping from the Old Bridge to the water. The blue sky in Mostar, the splendor and warmth of the Herzegovinian sun, the beauty of the gray stone which is reflected in Neretva River represent a unique experience for every visitor throughout whole year, and the energy that radiates out of people, students and youth is contagious. The experience of the golden valley surrounded by hills and mountains is unforgetabble, “little places of my heart” as the poet said. Everything here is homey and pleasant for eye, soul and stick. The choice is on you. From a visit to the Old Bridge, Kujundžluk, coffee and top beer in the authentic cafe of the popular football club in the city district, cakes in pastry shops, lambs, which is a very famous dish in Herzegovina, trips to one of the city’s excursion sites like Buna, Rujište, Goranci. Also, you have the opportunity to hike to the Millennium Cross on a hill called Hum, then to walk to the cobwebs over the city, and to experience paragliding because here weather goes hand in hand to people. As old people would say – “bujrum”. Be our guests, young people.
