Destination guide

Mostar's old town, split by the Neretva river and centred on the rebuilt Stari Most bridge, is compact enough to see on foot, so a rental car here matters most for the surrounding countryside rather than the historic centre itself, where cobbled lanes and pedestrian zones aren't built for driving. Parking near the old bridge fills quickly in summer, and many visitors leave the car on the edge of the old town and walk in. Bosnia and Herzegovina's road network outside the main routes can be narrower and less consistently marked than in neighboring Croatia, so allow extra time for anything off the highway.

What to visit

Stari Most itself, rebuilt after being destroyed during the 1990s war, is the town's obvious centrepiece, and locals still dive from it for tips in warmer months. The old bazaar streets around the bridge, lined with copper craft shops, are worth a slow wander rather than a quick photo stop. War-damaged buildings still stand a few streets back from the tourist core, a quieter reminder of the city's more recent history alongside its Ottoman-era architecture.

Route ideas by car

Blagaj, twenty minutes south, centres on a dervish house (tekija) built directly into a cliff at the source of the Buna river — one of the more striking short drives in the region. Kravice waterfalls, a further half hour away, are a popular swimming spot in summer, though they get crowded by early afternoon. Heading north, the road toward Sarajevo climbs through the Neretva canyon, a scenic but winding route worth allowing extra driving time for.

Local rental tips

Cash remains useful for parking and smaller roadside stops outside the main tourist areas, even where cards are increasingly accepted in town. Summer heat in the Neretva valley can be intense, and rental cars here don't always have strong air conditioning, so it's worth checking before a long drive. Border crossings into Croatia are common day-trip routes from Mostar, so confirm your rental agreement actually permits cross-border travel before planning one.
