Neretva‘s size turned Mostar into a trading centre of the region very early on. The most famous feature of the city is its bridge. Stari Most (‚Old Bridge‘) was built by the Ottomans in 1565. (It was the great architect Mimar Hajrudin who had succeeded with the impossible mission to cross the Neretva River with a single span stone bridge). Continue to Bosnia‘s capital, Sarajevo.

become one of the most interesting capital cities of Europe. After your exploration of the city, there will be free time for lunch before you depart for the Tunnel Museum in the suburb of Ilidža. The tunnel was dug underneath the airport runway and was used to smuggle provisions into the
