Marvel at the Icons of Mostar

Mostar is famous for its Old town, with the Ottoman Old Bridge from 1566 as its centrepiece. It's been on the UNESCO list since 2005, and the whole city has a rich history spanning from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. We will visit the Old Bridge with its surrounding areas: on the right side of the river Neretva is the part called Priječka čaršija, with places of interest like the Ottoman hammam built in 1667 and a small mosque built by the local craftsmen back then. On the other side of the river is the street with the best view in the city, called Kujundžiluk, after the Ottoman goldsmiths who used to have their workshops here. The walk will take us along the upper parts of the street towards the end, next to the city market Tepa, originally built during the Ottoman period. Mostar is a city of interest also beyond the Old town: there is a famous WW2 memorial (see photos)shaped like a large piece of land art. The city park has the world's first memorial of Bruce Lee. Also, there's the Spanish square with the imposing building of Gymnasium built in the 19th century during the Habsburg government (see photo). This is a separate sightseeing that can also be booked for those who are interested in other parts of our heritage.
