day trip to Mostar

Hi everyone,

My partner and I will be staying at Makarska for two weeks during May/June of this year. One of the highlights of our stay there will be a day trip to Mostar.

I would assume we would travel as part of an organised group.

I%26#39;ve read that Euro%26#39;s and Kuna are accepted. Also, someone else on this site has said %26quot;We left Makarska at 8.30am and arrived in Mostar at 11.30am. On the return journey, we left Mostar at 4pm, arrived back 6.30pm. The Mostar trip cost 380kn per person.%26quot; - my main question is with the limited time we would have on Mostar, where are the best places to see/go whilst we are there to make the most of our trip?

Also, what local gifts are there to buy and what are the prices of things like there?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Jason

Just stay and explore around the Old Town. I don%26#39;t know the prices, but do try to bargain and get a better deal. :)

Have a nice trip.

There are different souvenirs available from as low as a Euro for simple things like key chains and magnets, then there are things like metal plates with the old bridge engraved which vary in price according to size but I think you could find it for like 6-7 Euros or something...and food is generally inexpensive too.

thanks ever so much - this sounds like it%26#39;s a real gem and might be my highlight of the holiday along with our trip to dubrovnik!

Mostar was definitely one of the highlights of my last trip to Croatia. Didn%26#39;t really know what to expect, but it was quite the experience- from seeing the bombed out buildings, to walking along the markets, to hearing the muezzin calling people to pray-- it was just a great cultural experience.
