The UNESCO-listed 16th-century Ottoman arch over the Neretva, destroyed in 1993 and painstakingly rebuilt — Mostar's soul and one of the Balkans' iconic images. In summer, members of the Mostari diving club leap 24 m into the cold green river.
Why go
- the bridge itself
- the divers
- the cobbled Kujundžiluk bazaar around it.
watch the divers from the Lučki most downstream for the best angle; the bridge glows at night.
