10 Things to do in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Мостар)
Welcome to Mostar! In today’s video we’re showing you around one of the great gems of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mostar was one of the many stops of our travels through the Balkans, but it ranked right at the very top! This city is as postcard-perfect as they come, complete with Ottoman constructions, soaring minarets, and colourful buildings that overlook the emerald waters of the Neretva River. Our time here was spent wandering through the markets, sampling local dishes, and visiting a few mosques and museums along the way, so come and join us in this travel guide as we show you around Mostar (Мостар) and give you a few ideas for your own trip!
This street is lined with restaurants, cafes, and hotels, but as you approach the famed Old Bridge, it turns into a bit of a bazaar with small shops that are bursting at the seams with souvenirs.
Stari Most, also known as the Old Bridge, which is the city’s main landmark. This 16th-century Ottoman bridge joins the two parts of the city across the River Neretva.
And that’s a wrap for Mostar! This was one of our favourite destinations of 2017.
With its Ottoman architectural wonders, delicious dishes served in heaping platters, and warm locals who take hospitality to a whole new level, there’s a lot to love about the city! Mostar is strikingly beautiful, but it’s the people who give the place its soul.
Yes, the city’s been through a lot, and it still bears the scars of a horrible war fought in the 90s, but Mostar has picked itself up and is showing visitors all it has to offer.
We hope you enjoyed getting to experience this city through our eyes on this travel guide, and as always, if you have any other suggestions of things to do in Mostar, feel free to share your tips with travellers in the comments below.

I just came back to Sydney from Mostar one week ago. I have done a fair bit of traveling since I retired a couple of years ago. When I thought nothing would interest me any more, I was mesmerized by Mostar. I went to the Museum of War and Genocide Victims and saw footage of how the Mostar Bridge was shelled. I saw footage of the Bosniaks trying to find some sort of normalcy in life amidst the horror of war. I went to Blagaj and found inner peace. I then realized why Mostar deeply moved me.
Beautiful Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦🇧🇦
Indeed, indeed, indeed!
Oh my God, this place is Gorgeous! Congratulations for video!
Thank you very much! Mostar is beautiful!
Immensely helpful. I didn't know how interestingly cool Bosnia and Herzegovina is until watching this video. Thanks a lot for giving us more options to vacation.
Thank you! It was one of our favorite trips in 2017. Highly recommend it.
I cannot ignore how perfect your pronounciation is. I'm not sure if I'd be able to detect you guys weren't locals based on what you said in Bosnian. Good job guys. 👏
I am extremely happy and proud that you've liked Mostar that much. I hope that one day you will visit Sarajevo, see some great attraction and taste authentic Bosnian burek :). Thank you very much for promoting my homeland.
P.S. Because of your videos, I am considering visitng Kyiv and Lviv this summer. You're the best travel couple on UA-cam, and I wish you best of luck in your future adventures.
Thank you very much! I wish we had more time to visit more of Bosnia and Herzegovina as we left wanting more. I hope we can come back again soon. That is wonderful to hear about Lviv and Kyiv! Have a great trip.
And the tone of your post is a perfect example of why people don't want to go to the Croatian part of Mostar. You're just too full of hate. Keep it to yourselves.
@@blotski Thanks for clarifying the feeling I got from reading M.rta's dreadful comment. If that is typical of the type of people I'm likely to encounter in a 'Croatian part' then I'd rather not go there no matter how 'ALSO V|ERY INTERESTING' it is hahahaha
Mostar the City of Bosnian Bosniaks (Muslims) and Bosnian Croats (Christians) !! Great Video !!
Thank you!
Bosnia is so beautiful
Would love to travel in Bosnia again Anel.

Hi to you both. My husband and I are off to Mostar tomorrow and while it's been a few years since your trip there, we're hoping things haven't changed much since Covid hit. We're especially keen for the same type of food you guys had. We've copied you in other cities before😁 Cheers.
I hope it was a wonderful trip!!! 😊
Thanks for sharing your thoughts 💭 and a tips. 👀 📸 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 📸
Thank you! Highly encourage going to Mostar :)
Good experience.
Thank you! It sure was. We loved Mostar.
Great vid!
Thank you!
We went there this summer from London and we were blon away.went from Banja Luka(have to try rafting there)and then traveled through Jajce to Mostar.Hospitable people,EVERYTHIG IS CHEAP(big bbq meal+beer 4.5£)we loved it!!!
@ 7:54, you'll be decimating the toilet after eating that!😂
한폭의 그림 같아요...^^ 항상 동영상 잘 보고 갑니다...다음편 기대 할께요...ㅎㅎ
고맙습니다! 그것은 우리에게 많은 한국을 상기시켰다. 우리는 요즘 한국을 그리워합니다.
'Snipers tower' is very cool
Great vlog guys as always. I’ve one day spare at the end of my Croatian holiday and it’s a choice between Mostar or Kotor. Which one would you recommend?
Guys your videos are amazing!!! I would like you to suggest me a good cámara not too expensive and easy to operate to start recording videos!!! Please!!!! Someone told me Lumix G7.
Thank you! We're using a GH5 from Panasonic but the new G9 looks great and is a bit cheaper. I'm not as familiar with the G7 but it definitely costs less.
yes, the free foot massage...I ditched my sneakers for platforms so fast! lol. Too bad when I was in Mostar I was so broke I was only living on burek from a local bakery and hostel breakfast because all the food looks amazing. But I got to eat a lot in Sarajevo, so it's fine I guess. The Slovan cap:')
Heard the food in Sarajevo is incredible!
i have bean going to bosnia every year in about 14 year now and I love it 😊😊
That is really cool to hear! Where do you recommend visiting?

Drinking that coffee looks a bit tricky. The food looks delicious.
Thanks! The food was great in Mostar.
Aaaaaaaaand its me again the part of Mostar which you show here its only old town so there is much more to Mostar than only this however its the most interesting part indeed but really there is much more to it so as i mentioned it before feel free to contact me for full tour if you are ever in town again.
P.S. you will be surprised :D
Dario
Thank you! I wish we had more time to explore the surrounding areas of the city and outside of Mostar. Hope we can come back agaian soon.
thunder2811, are you still there? we should be in Mostar next month. My email is Graciela008@gmail.com
i visited this place.
Thanks for you the both and especially you madam for respecting our religion and wearing those clothes when you entered the mosque and the other house where there is coran :)
Thank you very much.
Great video but you should visit Mostar in spring or summer because there are many places in Mostar and around you can visit
Thanks! That is good advice.
Great vid!!! Thank you
Thanks! We had a lot of fun in Mostar.
Hi! Thank u very much for ur lovely video about beautiful city Mostar so i wonder how many days worth to stay in Mostar in order to explore all of these tours?
Thanks! A good 3-4 days would be enough but longer is better because of variable weather.
Great video guys!!! We also went to Mostar in November exactly a year after you guys :) I was tempted to fly my drone under the bridge like you but I chickened out the last min when I noticed a diver on the bridge. He did jump but didn't catch it with the drone but caught another attempt with my camera. :) How long were you in Mostar for?
We flew our drone around the bridge too, but the sportiness of the signal had me freaking out! Was still able to film though and capture some nice video. Were you able to fly your drone at all?
@@JennPreston We did fly but like you was way too worried about the signal dropping off and drone disappearing into the river... 😁
You can't go to Mostar without hitting up Black Dog Pub. It's right across the Crooked Bridge from Konoba Taurus. Grab a drink on their patio, and enjoy one of the best evening views.
Thanks for the tip!
Hi, great video. Do you recommend spending only 1 day there or more?
Thanks! You could cover most of the main attractions in Mostar during one busy day but to be honest there are some cool day trips and great food in the city so 2-3 would be ideal and even longer if you wanted.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos Thank you, helping me a lot. Love your videos btw keep posting
There are quite a few things to see outside the Old Town and Fejiceva street (which is not the main one, that would be the Titova Str above it), and visitors rarely step outside it. Next time, go and see this. After you see this (and the promenade near the Spanish Sq) can you say that you had a full experience.

Thanks for sharing that Mirko!
@@samuelandaudrey You're welcome- I happen to be a local guide so I know most of the good stuff ;)
❤
My wife and I will be in Croatia next month and are planning a side trip from Slip to Mostar (with overnight stay). Please advise on transportation to and from Mostar, do we need a guide, where to consider staying overnight. From your video I just finished watching, it appears you stayed at an Air BnB just outside of the town (???). Thanks in advance
Thanks! You won't need a guide as everything to see and do is concentrated in one area. We stayed at an airbnb and we could walk to our place from the bus station. You could just take a bus like we did or if you wanted arrive faster maybe arrange faster private transportation.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos would you share with me the air bnb you stayed at? Did you have long delays at boarder crossings?
The Bosnaseum is very special. You can see a film about the time before the war and during the war and the new bridge. It has many old pictures and clothes and furnitures of the old time. We also saw the blue uns red see which is not far from Mostar and a wonderful cave where are found bones of a bear und humans.. Wir waren noch im Bosnaseum wo man zuerst einen Film sehen kann von der Zeit vor und während des Krieges und man sieht wie die Brücke einstürzt und wie die neue Brücke eingeweiht wird. Dort sind alte Trachten ausgestellt und es ist eine Art Heimatmuseum. Es gibt nicht nur Moscheen sondern auch eine Synagoge und mehrere Kirchen. Dann waren wir noch in einer Tropfsteinhöhle , wo man auch Bärenkochen und Menschenknochen gefunden hat mit einem sehr netten Führer ( englisch ). In der Umgebung ist noch der rote und der blaue See, die sehr tief in einer Art Krater liegen. Mehrere Burgen sind auch in der Nähe, von denen man eine gute Aussicht hat.Das Hamam hatte leider zu als wir da waren. Wir waren vorher noch an den Plitvice Wasserfällen und Rastoke, ein altes Dorf in Kroatien, auch mit wundervollen Wasserfällen.
What time of the year it's best to visit Mostar?
How would it be to visit Mostar in November or December?
Mostar born here, living in California. Cold and windy at the end of the year. I'd suggest anytime from March to September... (Also curious what will the channel owners reply be). Have fun if you visit Mostar/Bosnia-Hercegovina and thank you!
InshaAllah I will be in Bosnia on 1st Of September till 10 the of September .
That is exciting to hear! Have a great time.
Very nice Mosque, I like this mosque and I want to visit this beautiful mosque. Madam I think you love cat so much, because almost I see cat in your video. By the way very nice and useful video. God bless you always. Thanks for entertainment us
Thank you! Would highly recommend visiting. We both really love cats. Maybe we'll have one of our own someday :)
:D I Live In Mostar
Cool to hear!
Was that a butterfly on Sam's hat?
Olive here
What time of year did you guys go? Was it cold?
We visited in November and it was quite cold and rainy. I'd recommend coming early maybe like mid September to mid October.
Nice that you covered your hair when entering a mosque, but you should have taken your shoes off, as well.
There are NOT any doughnuts, kids - there are savoury crumpets called uštipci (ooshteeptzee) which are used be eaten still hot and with spreading on the top a cheese, lovely, greasy cheese kaimak which melts on hot crumpets, very, veery tasty!
Coééé rapaziadaaa
:)
Lol hehe
Audrey you r just so sweet :-)
Thank you very much!
How did you get around to each region?
We took buses entirely throughout the Balkans.
Odpadnem :D Šiltovka Slovan...
Can anyone tell me how much expensive it is to visit Bosnia-Herzegovina for a few days as a back-packer? Is it cheaper than Macedonia and Albania? How about as compared to Montenegro and Croatia?
Cheaper than Montenegro and Croatia but I'm not sure about Macedonia and Albania to be honest.
For Europian standard it is very cheap. Coffe is max. 1.5 €, two people can eat for 15 €, it's depends what and where you want to eat. so... Very cheap compared to the other cities in Europe. :))
Hello Shakeel, just in case you are still wondering, we recently did a Balkan Trip and for us, Bosnia-Herzegovina was only slightly more expensive than Montenegro. For us, Albania and Kosovo were the cheapest, (5€ got us a good meal for 2 in Pristina) closely followed by Montenegro, then Serbia, and finally Croatia which was by far the most expensive! As a couple, we stayed in rooms rather than a shared dorm and we were averaging about €20/night. Hope this helps! 👌😃
I LIVE HERE
Great to hear Joseph!
are you available to give a tour? My email is Graciela008@gmail.com. we will be there next month
Proper travellers go to mostar
Indeed, they do!
