General presentation
Mostar et Herzégovine
Old stone town on the Neretva, iconic bridge, Ottoman villages, karst springs and Mediterranean light.
Stari Most, Blagaj and Počitelj give the most telling landmarks of Mostar and Herzegovina. Together, they form a destination where urban life, heritage, riverscapes and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: strong heat in summer and paved and stairways. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

World Heritage
Cimetières de tombes médiévales stećci
The Stećci are medieval stone tombs, placed in rows in the landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia. Their cross, horsemen, dances, roses and sober inscriptions give a very direct presence to the communities that carved them between Christian worlds, local traditions and limestone mountains.
Town or village
Stari Most
Stari Most draw its stone arch above the Neretva, between the tight roofs and the glossy alleys of the Mostar From the banks, the view changes with light; in summer, local divers add a very physical tension to the bridge, a few seconds suspended before impact in green water.
Town or village
Blagaj
In Blagaj, the Buna flows at the foot of a limestone cliff, just next to a white-washed derviche tekke. The site is discovered in a rare mixture of freshness, very clear water and vertical rock, with terraces where the noise of the source almost covers conversations.
Town or village
Počitelj
Počitelj climbs on terraces above the Neretva, with stone houses, Ottoman domes and ramparts hanging on the hill. The climb to the tower offers the most beautiful views of the village, especially when the sun goes down and the walls take on a honey shade.
