Begin your walking tour at Spanish Square, where you’ll learn about Mostar’s Austro-Hungarian period and how the city changed as it became part of a much larger European empire. From there, make your way through some of the places that tell the story of Mostar’s more recent and turbulent past, including the famous Sniper Tower.

As you continue toward the Old Town, the atmosphere changes completely. Enter the Ottoman heart of Mostar, explore its traditional streets and architecture, and hear about the people, cultures, and religions that have shaped the city over centuries.

Along the way, hear about the major historical events, as well as stories about what life was actually like here, including how Mostar changed during and after the war, how people live here today, and what it means to grow up in a city where so many different histories exist side by side.

Finish at the symbol of Mostar itself: Stari Most, the Old Bridge. Here, learn about its Ottoman origins, destruction, and reconstruction, and why the bridge means so much to the people of Mostar.
