Stari Most (Old Bridge)
The iconic symbol of Mostar, this 16th-century Ottoman bridge spans the Neretva River and connects the two sides of the city. Destroyed during the 1990s conflict, it was meticulously reconstructed and reopened in 2004, becoming a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005.
During summer months, watch local divers plunge from the bridge into the cold waters below – a tradition that dates back generations. For a small fee, you can also visit the bridge museum to learn about its history and reconstruction.
