Things to do in Mostar
Old Bridge diving, Kravice waterfalls, wine tasting, Ottoman heritage tours, and more — the best activities in Mostar.
The Old Bridge & the old town
This is the largest category on the site, covering guided walks through Mostar's Old Town that typically link the Old Bridge, the Kujundžiluk bazaar and the Koski Mehmed-Paša mosque, departing from either bank of the Neretva.
Kravice & the waterfalls
This group covers the swimming pools and boat rides below the Kravice waterfalls and the smaller Koćuša falls near Ljubuški, the closest thing to a beach day in landlocked Herzegovina.
Rafting & kayaking
This group covers rafting, tubing and kayaking on the Neretva through the Jablanica canyon and on the calmer Trebižat and Buna rivers near Ljubuški and Blagaj, plus self-paddled canoe and kayak rentals on the same stretches.
Ottoman heritage
This group covers the Ottoman-era tekija and Buna spring at Blagaj, the fortified quarter and mosque of Počitelj, and Mostar's own Koski Mehmed-Paša mosque and hamam, rather than the newer city-centre bazaar.
