Mostar in a Weekend, Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina

Mostar has a truly fascinating history, so the first thing you should do in Mostar is take a walking tour. Not only will it give you a lot of perspective about what you鈥檙e seeing when you鈥檙e walking around, a tour will give you insider tips on what to do while you鈥檙e in town. We toured around the city one morning with聽Sheva Walking Tours. The tours begin daily in front of the Turkish Hammam, a former bathhouse turned museum. The fascinating tour gives you information about the city鈥檚 complex history 鈥� including the war in the early 90s 鈥� from someone who lived it. You鈥檒l learn in detail how Mostar was under siege by Serb and Croat forces and how the city presently deals with these geopolitical tensions.

The聽Museum of War and Genocide Victims聽features artifacts and context to the brutality of the war that besieged Mostar from 1992 to 1995.
