We plan to rent a car one-way to drive from Split to Dubrovnik in late September. Does anyone have any information as to how long this would take if we were to make a loop to Mostar on the way, spending perhaps 2 - 2 1/2 hours in Mostar? Also, any information on driving and parking in Mostar would be appreciated. It seems that most trips to Mostar from Croatia are by tour bus rather than by private car. Is there any reason to favor one over the other?

The drive from Dubrovnik from Split will take approximately four hours in itself. The drive from the coast to Mostar will take you about an hour without any stops in between. When you get to Mostar it is a pretty busy place but try to get as close as possible to Stari Most, the bridge crossing the Neretva. We crossed over onto the Muslim side of the river, found a parking lot, and walked probably a half mile to the shopping district with its cobbled streets and that led us to the bridge.
I would suggest that you take your car, there were many tour buses that were going in there, but it was just so nice to be able to park and not be on someone elses schedule. I would also suggest that you leave Split very early in the morning and get to Mostar as soon as you can so you can enjoy your time here and not be so rushed. You would also want to be back to Dubrovnik before dark so you don%26#39;t have to drive the coastal road in the dark.
Another thing, there will be a border crossing from Croatia into Bosnia after Metkovic and you will be asked to show your passports. On the coastal road they might just wave you along, but here they stop every car and check things over. So have your passports ready. Get to Mostar, its a wonderful experience.

Hi,
there is enough parking places in Mostar especially around the Old town area.you can park your car near the old pert of the town and there are people who will take care of the car,I think that price is about 1 or 2 per hour.
I recommend you to take a professional guide,who will explain everything about history of the town and the way of life people are living here. because I work in %26quot;Almira Travel%26quot;agency(located in the old part of a town,near Mehmed Koski mosque) I can guarantee that if you come and ask for our service that you will get the best guides who are certified and professional Tour usually lasts 2 hours and includes entrance in mosgue(explanation of religious life) and turkish house (explanation of the way of live that people were living and compare with the way of life that they are living today).Price is 20 €uro per person and that includes entrance in mosque and turkish house.

I think that sounds like a long drive on very windy coastal road.From memory it takes a bit longer than 3-4 hours.I would go to Dubrovnik then a day/ night in Mostar.Drive carefully.
