Mostar
We go to the highlight of the tour and the jewel of Hercegovina, the town of Mostar. It is the most important town in the Herzegovina region, because it is considered to be its cultural and economic capital. There you will be greeted by a local English-speaking guide who will take you on an hour-long tour of the town. You will have an opportunity to hear about the rich history of the town, see the Old Bridge (which is on the list of the protected cultural heritage sites of UNESCO since 2005 together with the old town) dating back to the 16th century. The architecture of the place represents a symbol of tolerance: a shared life between Muslims, Christians, and Jews. The bridge combines the two religiously divided parts of the town, the Christian and Muslim. After the tour, you will have two and a half hours of free time. You can get lost in the famous bazaar and see the heritage of the oriental culture while buying something to remember this day by. You will see The Turkish house (Kajtaz) and Koskin-Mehmed Pasha’s Mosque. If you are a history buff, you can visit the Museum Of Crimes Against Humanity And Genocide 1992-1995 to learn about the dark side of its history.
