As a bridge, I don't think it is that special -- there are many arch bridges in Asia. The presence of Ottoman houses is also not that unique. Don't know if it's true that it was a place for tax collection. But Mostar is a very small town. What amazes me is that it's a very Muslim town. Having travelled... More

The view from the bridge is amazing! The river is amazing! You have to walk over the famous bridge and that is all there is to that! More

I enjoy taking people to this stari Most. This is one of the "must see" attractions when you are coming to Mostar and Bosna Hercegovina. More

This bridge is symbolic of Mostar's rebirth after the devastating war of the 90s (when it was destroyed). It has a moving war photo exhibition at one end wHich is excellent and worth a visit to try and get a feel of the suffering inflicted during this time. More

As mentioned in another review, this bridge is beautiful. It makes you ponder its construction. The town on both sides and the surround architecture gives the bridge a very picturesque setting. Take lots of photos and watch for the bridge jumper...a very touristy attraction. More

The bridge and the area around it were full of character with cobbled streets and stone ridges on the bridge. It was also a place with an all too obvious sad history - which is still a part of the town. More

The Old Bridge was the main reason for me to travel to Mostar. I know, that the former bridge was destroyed during the Yugoslavian Civil War, but the new one is still very impressive. I have only seen photos of the original bride, but the new one built after former drawings and from stones from the old bridge really look... More

I don't know what it is about Stari Most...honestly, it was my favorite site in Bosnia. It is incredibly historically significant and architecturally beautiful...but, it's not just that. My friend and I went and stood on it in the late evening one night and I literally got chills up my spine. It was almost as if there was an emotional... More
