    1. Mostar Old Bridge

      When the Turks invaded Mostar, there was a wooden bridge at the place of today's Old Bridge; it hungs on chains, over which one had to pass very cautiously. As it became worn out in the middle of the 16th century, the people of Mostar asked authorities in Istanbul to build a new bridge from quality material. It was designed by the builder Hajrudin, pupil of the famous Sinan, the great Turkish architect of the 16th century. The Old Bridge was completed and and put into service in July or August 1566. Its span is 28,70 meters and it has only one big stone arch. It is 4,49 m wide, while the height from the summer water level is 21 m. The bridge was built of square stones connected with iron hooks and cast in lead. Every passer-by stops here to admire this masterpiece. Mostar is known for its bridge all over the Europe and the world. The central part of the old town, with its forts, towers and gates, developed around this magnificent monument producing a unique architectural whole.

    Very informative

    We arrived in Mostar on a very rainy day. This did not deter our guide Tarik, who was friendly, (good with light humour), informative and professional in all respects. We really enjoyed our time with him despite the weather.

    Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mostar.

    How much does Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mostar usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mostar is not rushed.

    Is Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mostar, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mostar can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mostar and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mostar within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Mostar?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mostar experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Herzegovina Day Tour from Mostar: Blagaj, Pocitej, Kravice falls (Join Us! :D), Discover Herzegovina Day Tour from Mostar: Kravice Waterfalls, Blagaj, Počitelj, Break-up of Yugoslavia & The War in Mostar: Life Under Siege. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Mostar?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Mostar?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional authorized guide. Not included: Lunch (optional); Gratuities; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour?

    +

    In front of the Old Highschool Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mostar War Heritage Walking Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
