Watch the local divers leap 24 metres from Stari Most

Each summer, trained members of Mostar’s diving club climb to the apex of Stari Most and leap into the cold Neretva twenty-four metres below — a tradition documented for generations and the city’s most distinctive living custom.

Catch sunset over the bridge from Lučki most

A short walk downstream from Stari Most, the low Lučki most footbridge opens a quieter, head-on view of the Old Bridge and the Neretva — a calm place to watch the light change over the river as the day ends.

Walk Travnik’s old town, fortress and historic centre

Stari Most

The stone arch thrown across the Neretva by order of Suleiman the Magnificent and completed in the 1560s — a single 29-metre span that gave the city its name and its symbol. Destroyed in November 1993, the bridge was rebuilt with stone hauled from the riverbed and reopened in 2004; the old bridge area is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Each summer trained local divers leap from its apex into the emerald water twenty-four metres below.
