The journey to Mostar will take about 2.5 hours with breaks at some points along the way. Our first stop is in the city of Konjic, where we will see the famous Konjic bridge that has been restored by Turkey, dating back to the Ottoman era, and enjoy a coffee along the Neretva River. After that, we will arrive in Mostar, where we will see the Mostar Bridge during our walking city tour. (The bridge, built by architect Hayreddin in 1557, is a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture.) The bridge was destroyed by Croatian artillery during the war in 1992, but thanks to the significant contributions of the Republic of Turkey, it was reopened in 2004.
