Editorial Correction: Mostar Is Not in Italy
Mostar is a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in the south of the country in the Herzegovina region, along the Neretva River. It is not located in Italy, and no Italian city, town, or region carries this name.
Publishing a guide labeling Mostar as an Italian destination would misinform real travelers on matters as serious as visa requirements, currency, language, border crossings, and emergency services. As a publication committed to traveler safety and accuracy, we cannot proceed on that premise.
What We Can Tell You
Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a genuinely compelling destination known for:
- Stari Most (Old Bridge) — a UNESCO World Heritage–listed 16th-century Ottoman bridge rebuilt after its destruction in the 1990s war
- A layered history spanning Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav, and post-war periods
- The old bazaar district of Kujundžiluk, one of the best-preserved Ottoman streetscapes in the region
- Striking natural scenery along the turquoise Neretva River
- A complex, still-healing post-conflict urban fabric that rewards thoughtful visitors
If You Were Thinking of a Different Place
If you had a specific Italian destination in mind — perhaps one with a similar-sounding name or a Balkan/Ottoman-influenced history — please verify the location and resubmit. We are glad to produce a fully researched guide for the correct city.
