Mostar is an absolutely stunning town that is definitely worth visiting. It has a glorious medieval feel, a captivating and enticing river of gorgeous colours and of course, its famous bridge, a massive stone construction whose destruction came to symbolise the war in Bosnia. Meticulously reconstructed, it is now one of the most popular tourist sights in the Balkans.
Although recently ravaged by war, Sarajevo has now recovered and is thriving. It’s a lively city that still retains a small town feel to it. From the bustling markets to the glistening river to the great views atop its surrounding hills, Sarajevo has a great atmosphere. However, the scars of war are still visible, with bullet ridden buildings and mortar craters on the footpaths. Sarajevo is a city embracing modernity yet hasn’t fully shaken off the ghosts of the past.
