Itinerary

Mehmed Karadoz Moschee

20 min

Your journey begins at the most monumental Islamic structure in Herzegovina, completed in 1557 by the master architect Mimar Sinan.

Meeting Point: Your tour guide will be waiting for you directly in front of the main entrance of the mosque (on Braće Fejića street).

What to see: Before you head off, take a moment to admire the massive 10-meter wide dome and the 35-meter tall minaret—the highest in the region.

Pro Tip: If you arrive early, you can climb the minaret for a stunning panoramic view of the Neretva valley to get your bearings.
Stop 2

15 min

Meydan Square & Sinan Pasha Mosque

A short walk south brings you to the Meydan, the historic assembly square. Here stands the Sinan Pasha Mosque (also known as Atik Mosque), the city's oldest mosque, originally built in 1506.

The Vibe: This area is actually first neighbourhood of Mostar, urban nucleus of the city. It was the original center of Mostar before the "Old Bridge" area became the primary hub.

Historical Note: The mosque was sadly destroyed in 1949 but was painstakingly reconstructed and reopened in 2014, symbolizing the city's rebirth.
Kujundziluk Street

15 min

As you head toward the river, you’ll enter the sensory world of the Kujundžiluk. This is the oldest part of the city's commercial district, dating back to the mid-16th century.

What to see: The name comes from kujundžije (goldsmiths), but today you’ll hear the rhythmic "tap-tap" of coppersmiths.

Experience: Wander past stone shops selling traditional carpets, pashminas, and intricate copper coffee sets. The narrow, cobbled street is the perfect place to soak in the "East-meets-West" atmosphere.
Mostar Old Bridge

20 min

The undisputed crown jewel of the tour. Built by Mimar Hajrudin in 1566, this single-arch stone bridge was a technical marvel of its time, standing 24 meters above the emerald Neretva River.

The Moment: This is where you’ll likely see the famous Mostar Divers preparing to plunge into the cold waters below.

Symbolism: After its tragic destruction in 1993, the bridge was rebuilt using original techniques and stones, and it now stands as a UNESCO World Heritage site and a symbol of reconciliation.
Crooked Bridge (Kriva Cuprija)

20 min

Finish your tour just a few minutes west of the Old Bridge at the charming Kriva Ćuprija. This "miniature" version of the Stari Most spans the Radobolja creek.

The Legend: It is widely believed that this bridge was built in 1558 as a "test run" or prototype for the larger Old Bridge to see if the daring single-arch design would hold.

The Atmosphere: Tucked away from the main tourist crowds, it’s surrounded by quaint restaurants and greenery—the perfect spot to enjoy a Bosnian coffee and reflect on your walk.
