What to See and Do in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina
What to See and Do in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina
The town of Mostar is one of Bosnia & Herzegovina’s most popular destinations, thanks to its outstanding natural beauty, architecture, and its famous UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Bridge (Stari Most). With cobblestoned streets, old stone buildings, and its beautiful bridge spanning the picturesque Neretva River, this town looks like it was plucked from the pages of a fairytale. It is also surrounded by stunning landscape waiting to be explored. This small town attracts thousands of visitors per year.
-One of Mostar’s most famous sites is the Old Bridge (Stari Most). Everyone wants to see the famous Old Bridge and courageous guys jumping into the blue river below. It crosses over the beautiful turquoise Neretva river, and is at the heart of Mostar’s historic Old Town. Stari Most is a 16th century, Ottoman-style bridge and Mostar’s most notable architectural landmark. Stretching 28 metres across the Neretva river, it connects the two sides of the city. Stari Most proudly stood there for 427 years, until it was destroyed in 1993 during the Bosnian War. Thanks to post-war restoration efforts, a new bridge was built in 2004. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, having received this status in 2005 soon after it was rebuilt, and it attracts thousands of tourists to Mostar every year.
-The stone streets of the Old Town are almost as charming as the bridge itself. The Old Town is small with just a few cobblestoned lanes on either side of the Neretva River. On these streets are cafes, restaurants and Old Bazar Kujundziluk filled with souvenir shops. These bazaars look like souks from the Middle-Eastern countries. Mostar is really a fun place to do souvenir shopping. You can find carpets, tea-sets, pots, ceramics, scarves, and dozens of other cute stuff from Mostar.
- Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque- This stunning mosque is not only an attraction itself, but is also a spot for some of the best views of the Stari Most. Built in 1618, Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque is a simple but pretty mosque. There is a small entrance fee that includes the climb up the minaret for 360º views of the bridge, and a stroll around the outside courtyard which also offers amazing views. The interior of the mosque is small but features some lovely ornate decorations, although it is certainly worth a visit just for the views. Outside the mosque is a garden area and fountain taps. You can also visit a lovely café, where you can relax with Turkish tea or coffee and watch the sunset.
- Crooked Bridge (Kriva Cuprija) - This stone bridge is a much more peaceful place to sit and enjoy a relaxing lunch at one of the nearby restaurants. Built in 1558, the bridge was a “test” before the construction of Stari Most began. Located a few minutes walk from the Old Bridge, Kriva Cuprija spans a small creek that feeds into the Neretva River.
- Muslibegović House - One of Mostar’s best examples of Ottoman architecture is the protected national monument, Muslibegović House. It was once inhabited by the noble Muslibegović family, and is now both a luxury hotel and museum.
Other interesting sites are the Muslibegović House, The Hamam museum, Karađoz Bey Mosque, Biscevic House…. and more.

Karadjoz Beg Mosque, Mostar 27/06/2014
Inilah 5 kota besar di Bosnia Herzegovina
1 Zenica
Dari Sarajevo ke kota ini hanya 70 km di tempuh lebih cepat kurang dari 1 jam karena dihubungkan dengan tol.
Zenica yang merupakan ibukota dari Kanton Zenica Doboj berpenduduk 110 rb jiwa itu, berada di tepi sungai Bosna. Dari sejarahnya kota ini berdiri pada 20 maret 1436 sebagai kota penting bagian dari kerajaan Bosnia yang didirikan pada masa Kulin ban abad 12.
Pada masa Turki Usmani sejak abad 15 kota ini tidak begitu diperhatikan karena Turki Usmani lebih fokus ke Travnik dan Sarajevo.
Baru pada akhir abad 19 pada masa Austro Hungaria kota ini berkembang pesat dengan dibangunnya jalan kereta dan beberapa industri seperti baja batubara dan kertas.
2 Tuzla
Tuzla identik dengan kota industri benar adanya saat memasuki kota terlihat adalah pembangkit listrik tenaga panas bumi dan deretan industri lainnya, memanfaatkan posisi strategis Tuzla banyak perusahaan besar membangun pusat distribusinya disini.
Sebutan lain yang melekat pada kota ini adalah kota garam karena karunia garam luar biasa pada pegunungannya yang dapat ditambang sejak jaman neolithic. Kata Tuz dalam bahasa turki adalah garam. Garam produksi Tuzla ini memenuhi produksi garam wilayah balkan dan domestik.
Dari Sarajevo kota ini berjarak 125 km arah timur laut dari sarajevo ditempuh dalam 2.5 jam lanscape kotanya 250 mdpl berada di lereng pegunungan Majevica dan jala river.
Bekas tambang garam didekat kota, berubah jadi danau saat ini adalah spot utama wisata pannonian lake yang menjadi kolam renang dimana kala musim panas.
Kota ini memiliki mal besar yakni Bingo City Center dan kebun binatang Bingo mini zoo. Bingo banyak memberikan kontribusi bagi kemajuan Tuzla dan retailnya di Bosnia mencapai hampir 200 dari kecil berupa gerai hingga berupa mal 3 lantai seperti di Tuzla ini.
3. Mostar
Kota ini berkembang pada masa Turki Usmani dari tahun 1482 - 1878 dimana banyak situs peninggalan Islam yg dibangun di sekitar mesjid utama kota itu seperti Karadoz begova dan Mehmet Pasha Mosque.
Old bridge menjadi sangat terkenal sbg peninggalan klasik desain Turki Usmani yg masih ada kokoh hingga sekarang. Jembatan ini dibangun pada tahun 1566 atas perintah Sultan Sulaeman Al Qanuni dgn panjang 28 m dan tinggi 20 m.
Jembatan ini memiliki arti penting sebagai simbol krn menghubungkan wilayah muslim di timur dengan kristen di barat. Saat perang Bosnia tahun 1993 jembatan ini dihancurkan..dan krn pentingnya simbol persaudaraan dari jembatan ini maka sejak tahun 2003 mulai dibangun kembali sesuai aslinya.
Pada tahun 2004 renovasi selesai dan diresmikan oleh pangeran Charles dan jembatan dijadikan situs penting warisan budaya dunia oleh UNESCO.
Jembatan ini kini sangat masyur dan atraksi turis berkembang di dua sisinya seperti aneka kafe resto dan toko souvenir dan ajang tahunan para divers utk unjuk kebolehan melompat dari jembatan ke sungai Neretva kala musim panas.
Kejuaraan lokal itu dibuat utk para divers lokal setiap bulan juli dan penyelenggaraan tahun 2018 adalah yg ke 452.
Kejuaraan internasional juga diselenggarakan seperti dalam Redbull Cliff Diving world series setiap tahunnya.
4. Banjaluka
Banja luka kota terbesar kedua di Bosnia Herzegovina terletak di sebelah utara agak ke timur mendekati batas negara Serbia. Kota ini merupakan ibukota dari Republik Srpska. Berjarak hampir 200 km atau ditempuh 3 jam perjalanan dari Sarajevo.
Kota yang berada di tepian sungai Vrebas adalah seperti kota kota di Bosnia Herzegovina memiliki kota tua dengan ciri khas adanya benteng, deretan gedung tua dan lapangan atau main square di Gospodska, pasar lalu tempat ibadah dalam hal ini gereja orthodox mengindikasikan mayoritas penduduk adalah kristen ortodox.
Walau komposisi penduduk islam minoritas ternyata dapat dijumpai masih benteng dan mesjid yang cukup megah dapat kita jumpai. Keberadaan mesjid muncul pada saat Turki Usmani menguasai Banjaluka, dimana saat itu gubernur Ferhat Pasha membangun mesjid pada tahun 1579.
Melihat suasana kota Banjaluka tidak ada beda jauh dengan kota kota di eropa dari segi modernnya dan terlihat dari tampilan mall dengan gaya hidup warganya.
5. Sarajevo
Memasuki kota Sarajevo sebuah lanscape datar yang dikelilingi bukit dengan bangunan kuno yang masih terpelihara. Beberapa bangunan masih nampak bekas peluru masih menancap sebagai bukti ada sisa pertempuran yang sengit yang kala itu terjadi di Sarajevo.
Lanscape kota juga menarik terlihat perbedaan model bangunan dimana di sekitar mesjid begova kental bangunan arsitek turki dan bergeser ke arah barat arsitel bangunan beralih ke model baroq pengaruh austro hongaria dan bergeser keluar kota tua adalah bangunan modern dan tinggi.
Kota tuanya sarat sejarah situs kuno Taslihan sebagai bangunan pemerintahan pada masa Gazi Husrev tahun 1543 dengan arsitektur lokal Dubrovnik. Lalu mesjid begova, madrasah bibliotek dan bezistan serta hammam masih berdiri hingga kini.

Pokin' Around Post-Yugoslavia
Our train from Hungary arrived at dawn in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). As we passed the outskirts of town, in the thick morning haze, we pinched ourselves awake to prepare for yet another transition to a new country - new currency, new language, new names and a new city layout to learn. The nervous anticipation we once felt entering a new country is no longer there. After little sleep on the overnight train - due to the many border crossings (Hungary - Croatia - BiH) we rolled into the main train station at 6AM. We had arranged to be met by the staff of a family-run pension. Yet we did not spot the bearded Bosnian. That was 0 for 2 with being met at a transport station. While discussing our dawn-time options, we were approached by the owner of a train station cafe. We took a vote to see if we were up for a 6AM adventure and the decision was unanimous - what did we have to lose? Mula, spoke only German and Bosnian, but was able to conveyed to us that he had a room to let (we knew zimmer from the bit of German we picked up in Germany) for only 5 euro. He said (technically said in German while miming) that he would drive us and show us the room, and if we no like, he would drive us back to the train station. So off we went. We went in the opposite direction of the old town (which is where we wanted to be) into the hills that encapsulate Sarajevo. He pointed at a bus that we could take to the zentrum or city center. Despite the Indian-esque lodging prices, the room, in a basement of the house left a lot to be desired. We declined and went back to the station to review our options. Since we were out of tourist season, we were sure to find a place by just showing up. So we figured out which tram to take into the center of town and off we went. --------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- The Yugoslavian Wars 101 --------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Justin's degree in history is being put to use again (see there is a utility in majoring in history!). He has prepared a brief overview of who did what to who for those of you who wish to read it. If you don't, skip to below the dashed line. If you can't recollect the wars in the Yugoslavian or Balkan region in the 1990's without the aid of a map, multicolored pens, and a Ouija board, you're certainly not alone. Assuming you don't have time to look at 520 back issues of Time or Newsweek, here is an oversimplified summary of the nasty mess. In an interest in brevity, we'll concentrate on the war in Sarajevo, BiH. Because of its strategic location between Europe and Asia, the whole Balkan area has been for over two thousand years, a crossroads of trade and defense, and therefore, a fault-line of different cultures and religions. Start by thinking about the religious and cultural make up of this land - about the size of France - as a lasagna. On bottom of the dish lay down the Christianity of the Roman Empire, which broke into two sects (Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox) right along the border of present-day BiH. Then add to this savory creation, 400 years of the Ottoman Empire domination which ruled from present-day Turkey, from 1463 to 1878, and brought Islam to the area. Several main cultures coalesced in this richly flavored mix: Serbs (Eastern Orthodox Christians), Croats (Roman Catholics) and Bosniaks (Muslims). In addition, smaller communities were sprinkled on top: Hungarians and Albanians emigrated, and because of the Ottoman Empire's policy of religious tolerance, one of Europe's largest concentrations of Jews evolved in Bosnia in the 1500's (just in time as they had been kicked out of Spain by Queen Isabella in 1492). It would be wishful thinking to say that relations amongst these ...

Mostar Mosque 2 of 2
Neziraga Mosque is located at Spile, a sub-zone of the historic core of Mostar, on the plateau above the Kriva Cuprija bridge across the Radobolja River, a tributary of Neretva, and at a distance of 150 meters from the Old Bridge. The mosque was built in 1550.
The mosque was closed to prayers in 1932 and completely demolished in 195). The reconstruction was done in total conformity with the original, which was depicted in accordance with the findings of archeological excavations, as well as illustrations and written documents. These facts formed the basis of the restitution design. The original materials and techniques were used wherever possible.
