- Stari Most (Old Bridge) — The 16th-century Ottoman stone bridge is the city’s heartbeat: great for photos, people-watching, and to stand where history and reconstruction meet. Don’t miss watching (or timing) the local divers who still leap into the Neretva below.
- Old Bridge Museum (Museum of the Old Bridge) — Right by the bridge, this small museum explains the bridge’s history, the 1990s destruction and rebuilding, and the diving tradition with models and artifacts — short, focused, and gives context you’ll appreciate after seeing the bridge.
- Kujundziluk — Old Bazaar — Narrow lanes full of craft stalls, copperware, local textiles and tiny cafés; it’s the liveliest slice of Mostar everyday life and a good place to pick up honest souvenirs or watch artisans at work.
- Koski Mehmed-Pasha Mosque

- Koski Mehmed-Pasha Mosque & Minaret — Visit the interior and climb the minaret for one of the best panorama shots of Stari Most and the red-tiled roofs. Respectful dress is required, but the view is worth the few steep steps.
- Muslibegović House — A beautifully preserved Ottoman merchant’s house turned museum and guesthouse; the courtyard, period rooms and roof terrace give a real feel for elite urban life in Ottoman Mostar.
- Kriva Ćuprija (Crooked Bridge) — A charming, smaller Ottoman bridge tucked into the Old Town; quieter than Stari Most and perfect for mellow photos and a sense of the city before tourism crowded the main span.
- War Photo Exhibition — A poignant collection of images and testimonies from the siege of Mostar; it’s compact but powerful, and helps explain the city’s recent past in a way guidebooks can’t.
- Partisan Cemetery (Hum) — A striking modernist memorial on Hum hill with sweeping views of Mostar; architecturally unusual and a reflective spot that tells another chapter of 20th-century local history.
- Sahat Kula (Clock Tower) & Old Town Corners — The low skyline punctuated by the Ottoman clock tower and surrounding mosques, alleyways and cafes — walk slowly here to soak up architectural layers and neighborhood life.
- Neretva Riverbanks & Riverside Cafés — The riverside scene beneath the bridge is where Mostar hangs out: cheap tea, grilled fish, river-side terraces and the jump platforms. It’s an essential, living part of the city experience.
