Going to the top of the mountain is a must during your trip. Climbing with a cane is much easier considering if your trip companions are aged. Flow the lamp for an easy climb and descent.

Mostar is a short 2-3hr drive from the Croatian coastal cities of Split and Dubrovnik - making it an excellent choice for a day trip. Most of the Town was destroyed during the civil war but has been painstakingly restored. The focal point is the iconic bridge which is packed with tourist waiting to watch local men jump the 21 metres in to the ice cold water below. Firstly, it’s a show for money - so be expected to contribute. Secondly it’s not for the faint of hearted - 21m is a long way day, especially diving in to water just 6m deep. Either side of the bridge are shops and restaurants where you can stop for lunch, a beer and watch the performance.

Beautiful area to walk along the streets, cross the bridge and take lots of photos that are postcard worthy! Nice places to stop for ice cream, coffee, and shop for local artwork. Some good restaurants as well with million dollar views. We found everyone to be very friendly and accommodating.
6. Crooked Bridge (Kriva Cuprija)

Reviewed By GeysirGal - Surrey, United Kingdom
Tucked away in a little side street behind the main drag, this bridge is every bit as beautiful and graceful as the famous one - and much less frequented. There are many shops and restaurants around the area as you would expect and it is particularly good to visit at night - and perfectly safe for a woman on her own.

8. Bascarsija
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,002 reviews
Bascarsija is Sarajevo's old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the city. Bascarsija was built in the 15th century when Isa-Beg Isakovic founded the town. The word Bascarsija derives from the Turkish language. The word "bas" which is "bas" in Turkish literally means "head", in some contexts however also "primary", "main", "capital" and "carsija" which is "carsi" in Turkish means "bazaar" or "market". Due to the large fire in the 19th century, today Bascarsija is half the size that it once was. Bascarsija is located on the north bank of the river Miljacka, in the municipality of Stari Grad. On Bascarsija there are several important historic buildings, such as the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and sahat-kula. Today Bascarsija is the major tourist attraction of Sarajevo.

We had a wonderful stay in Sarajevo, for almost a month, before a sudden departure, (due to covid-19), the highlight of the city is definitely, the old neighbourhood, we spent most of our time here just walking the alleyways, enjoying the food, (which is amazing) and the coffee houses, (a wonderful experience) we highly recommend starting a visit, with a free walking tour of the old town to get your boots on the ground. Our faves: Cock tower and bakery, (Pekara Imaret loacated within the courtyard), Bosna eatery Baklava coffee shop
9. Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 663 reviews
Gazi Husrev-beg's mosque was built in first half of sixteenth century by Gazi Husrev-beg, Bosnian Governor (sandzakbeg) and grandson of Sultan Bajezit II. It is one of the most monumental mosques built in the Ottoman period and is the center of religious life of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The mosque is the part of vaqf (foundation) established by Gazi Husrev beg, which is still the heart of the old town of Sarajevo. During the Siege of Sarajevo in Bosnian war the vaqf complex was fired by more than thousand grenades but, thanks to its solid structure and two meter thick walls, the mosque survived. After the war it was thoroughly repaired using the original ornaments found on the walls.

This would have to be one of the centre points of the old town especially on Friday, (pray day), when It seems all worshippers of Sarajevo congregate here, (still nice to be in the area, as there is a real vibe) . Any other day we would recommend the tourist/visitor to visit, the courtyard and interior, as it is the largest historical mosque in Bosnia, its pretty hard to miss.
