Old Bridge Mostar

Sights & Landmarks
Diving & weddings are popular at this rebuilt Ottoman-era arched bridge over the Neretva River.
Slide 1 of 8
Beautiful, even on an overcast day. We didn’t see the river’s famous green waters, but the view was still lovely. The bridge itself is so full of history and beauty that you can’t help but pause and take it all in. A must-see when visiting Mostar.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Old Bridge in Mostar is one of the most breathtaking sights I’ve seen. By day it’s alive with history and crowds, but by night it transforms into something magical – beautifully lit, reflecting perfectly on the Neretva River below. Standing here, you feel the weight of centuries of Ottoman architecture, war, destruction, and then the powerful story of reconstruction and resilience. The bridge is not just stone and water – it’s a living symbol of unity and survival. Locals still dive from it (incredible to watch!), and the surrounding cobblestone streets are full of cafés, craft shops, and welcoming people. Walking across the bridge feels like stepping back in time, yet the atmosphere is buzzing and vibrant. If you visit Bosnia, this is an absolute must. Come at night if you can – the reflections, lights, and quiet atmosphere are unforgettable. 10/10 experience that blends history, culture, and pure beauty.
Beautiful little old town, with a bridge that can be a bit strange to cross, due to the way the steps are on it. But some fantastic restaurants nearby and get this....loads of food and it costs peanuts, compared to eu countries. Well worth a visit, locals are lovely and welcoming.
Beautiful scenery. The water level was high in November and the current was turbulent. The cobbled stones on the pathways make walking difficult. There are many sourviniers shops along the pathway. Many of them are selling magnet, keychains and some turkish products.
The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.
touch 👇 🇧🇦 A Day Trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina 🌉 Visited the iconic Mostar Bridge on a day trip from Croatia — and it was such a memorable experience. The old bridge, or Stari Most, is not just beautiful but also full of history and meaning. Rebuilt after the war, it stands as a powerful symbol of unity and resilience. Walking through the cobblestone streets and watching locals dive off the bridge into the Neretva River felt surreal. There’s something about the culture and warmth here that strangely reminded me of Malaysia — the hospitality, the blend of traditions, and the shared love for food and community. Definitely one of the most heartfelt and enriching day trips I’ve done in Europe ❤️
A must it's really amazing ,took a ride on boat under bridge that landed up breaking down and drifting down river ,very old and not maintained BUT worth it to see from another angle . The towns lovely most places are cash only so be aware watch bag also we went out of season so was not to bad ,everything is well over priced as it's aimed at tourist
Beautiful place of natural beauty. Lots of mosques, churches and synagogues, old town markets, war museums, and natural waterfalls. Must see Dervish house Balagaj, Krivica waterfalls, and glass bridge.

Historic Sufi monastery built on the cliffs by the water, with a mausoleum & an old Turkish bath.
Slide 1 of 8
Beautiful place, the water is so pretty. Spring coming from a cave with a monastery. There are lots of vendors and restaurants outside the monastery. A nice walking path down to the water and a tiny boat ride across. It’s a cool tourist area but genuine pretty.
Visiting the Tekija in Blagaj was a truly peaceful and unforgettable experience. The harmony between nature and history is breathtaking — the crystal-clear river, the majestic cliffs, and the serenity of the Dervish house make it one of the most beautiful and spiritual places I’ve ever seen. A must-visit if you're in Bosnia and Herzegovina!
The Islamic monastery of Tekija Blagaj is absolutely impressive! The entrance fee is around 10 km, but it's definitely worth it. Its location, right at the source of the Buna River, is simply breathtaking—surrounded by rocks, water, and beautiful nature. A place full of peace and history. Parking is also available nearby for a small fee. Overall, a fantastic destination that shouldn't be missed when visiting the region!🇧🇦❤️
Incredible place to visit. If you are visiting Bosnia, I would say a must visit. Beautiful historical and natural heritage of Bosnia located at the spring of the Buna river. This spring ranks as one of the largest in whole Europe. Around the spring there are restaurants with a really beautiful view. Of course Blagaj tekke is opened for tourists and you can visit this architectural ensemble in and out.
A short drive from Mostar and the place looks magical. We went on an evening in Ocotber and practically had the place to ourselves. You can also walk upto the monastery though we skipped it, and there are many restaurants around too where you can relax with a view. There is a parking lot nearby in walking distance and I had read previous reviews that they collect money, but surprisingly on the day and time we went there was noone there to collect.
Blagaj, which is the source of the Buna River and home to a beautiful Dervish Monastery nestled beside a cave and mountain. Entry to the monastery is €5. Some visitors were praying inside, and we were told that Dervish gatherings still take place here on Mondays and Fridays, lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Blagaj is a peaceful and breathtaking spot, crystal-blue water, a dramatic cliffside, and the historic Tekija house make it feel almost unreal. Perfect for a calm escape, beautiful photos, and a touch of history. Definitely worth the visit.
Such a beautiful and peaceful place! Due to the rain on previous days, the water level was very high. Parking fee was 2 euros. No need to pay entrance fee if you just want to check the viewpoint

Medjugorje is a town in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It’s been an unofficial place of Catholic pilgrimage since the Virgin Mary allegedly appeared on Apparition Hill in 1981. There is a “Queen of Peace” statue marking the site of the 1st apparition and one in front of the St. James Church. Liquid has been said to drip from the “Risen Christ” statue near the church. A concrete cross tops Cross Mountain, to the south.

Very beautiful, clear water. Canyon is amazing. Rafting on Neretva is very nice experience
Beautiful. I just couldn't leave that place. My soul is blessed.
It's a gorgeous Herzegovina river sourcing near the Konjic and finished in the Adriatic sea near Metkovic town. The river passes through five major places Konjic, Jablanica, Mostar, Capljina, and Metkovic. The most famous world bridge passes over the Neretva River and joins two shores, and of course, it's Old Bridge in Mostar, protected by the Unesco association.
The Neretva, and in particular its delta, are a fascinating place to visit. It is a fertile area where primarily citrus and pomegranate farming exist side by side with extensive reed beds. It is a unique way of life lived between land and water. Who knows how long it will last or how it might change. The boat tours are well worth it to see what lies oit in the delta. A cuisine of eels, frogs fantastic stews is balanced with great wines and unique herbal spirits.
My favourite river in the whole world! Emerald green, cool and with a differt mood depending on the season.
Truly beautiful amazing area a must see for anyone in the region!!
Neretva river is a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Although I swimmed here once,I wouldn't recommend swimming in the deep water because there are fish that could bump into you and that will spook you out.
One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful rivers in all of Bosnia. I really love it's color. It's pretty cold all year, but some people do swim in it, and it's popular with fishers mostly for catching Trout.

Bazar

Slide 1 of 8
Lovely place to shop and to stroll around. Stretches on both sides of Mostar's old bridge - aka Stari Most. You may park your car on the edge of old town. It's a predestrian only area.
Loved Bazar Kujundziluk. Tons of walking to do, but well worth it. Wear comfortable shoes when you go. Must try the Burek with Turski Caj at the restaurant in the pictures. It has one of the best Bureks I've ever had. There are stores that sell fake brand name purses 👛, shoes and accessories.
Beautiful bazaar offering souvenirs, Bosnian traditions and a lot of other stuff
Really nice shady spot to duck into, beautiful views on the terrace, only 2bam to enter which is worth it for the photo opp with fewer people than the vista just down the road.
Market of vendors. Lots of options to find. Most of it is mass produced but there are a few with antiques and real handmade products. You have to look to find the real stuff. Some art galleries too.
In the bazaar we find an "infinity" of items, but it attracts attention and are very visible the products made by coppersmiths ... for example a complete set for preparing and serving Bosnian (Turkish) coffee. We also find oriental delicacies. I was struck by the presence of many handycraft pieces that reflect the memory of the civil war, being made of whole cartridges, cartridge tubes or other ammunition. The bazaar capitalizes the secular tradition of craftsmen who came here in the 15th century with the occupation of this province by the Ottoman Empire and turned Mostar into an important craft and trade center whose fame spread throughout the Empire. In Mostar there are 30 different associations of craftsmen, some of them dating from 1762, such as bakers (ekmekdžije), the tailors (terzije), the shoemakers (baškmadžije), weavers (ćebedžije), goldsmiths (kujundžije), barbers ), builders (dundžeri) etc. Most of the traditional handicrafts activities are carried out inside the Old Bazaar area, representing a great attraction for tourists who appreciate the authenticity and beauty of the items (clothing, leather, copper and precious metals, fabrics, etc.). The bazaar is called Kujundžiluk (goldsmiths ?) after the street that runs through the Old Town and used since the 16th century for commercial activities. It is a narrow, pedestrian street, bordered by shops installed in old stone houses and very crowded during our visit. In the central area of ​​the street (bazaar) is the famous Old Bridge (Stari Most, bordered by 2 towers, hence the name of the city: "mostari" = the bridge keepers; built by the Turks in 1566), the emblem of the city. Almost completely destroyed in the civil war (1992-1995), both the bridge and the neighboring historic area were rebuilt with international help. The reconstruction of the bridge in 2004, simultaneously with the political reunification of Mostar, were seen as a symbol of reconciliation and restoration of the connection (physical and spiritual) between the divided ethnic groups (Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs). In July 2005, the Old Town's historic center, including the 16th-century market square, mosques and the famous Old Bridge were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Most stalls are selling typical souvenirs for tourists, nothing particularly interesting in my opinion. The walkway is quite narrow and can be pretty crowded at times.
Nice place with the atmosphere od old Mostar.
Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque
8. Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque

(942)
Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
Small mosque dating to the 17th century, with striking views of the river & surrounding town.
Slide 1 of 8
Small entrance fee (15KM) for access to the minaret. They take cash and card. Mosque is beautiful and holds congregation prayers, with space for ablutions and has drinking water. Courtyard and top of minaret have stunning views of the bridge. The climb up the minaret is quite steep and narrow but definitely do-able (managed to get up here with a baby in a carrier without too many difficulties). View from the top is definitely worth the effort.
Great panoramic view of the Mostar area once you climb up to the top. The staircase is very narrow, so it’s one-way up and down, which means the climb can take a while depending on the people there. The view is spectacular and worthwhile of the 8 Euro entrance ticket.
You can pay to go in the mosque, and pay even more to go up the minaret. The entrance fee, which we thought was a bit steep, as the whole thing only takes you 15 mins. You do get a really good view from the top, especially over the town and the bridge so it is worth it.
Nice, smaller Mosque you can visit in Mostar with a gorgeous view of the old bridge and old town from the minaret. Price on a Saturday in October was 10km for just the main prayer area, or 15km for both the prayer area and the minaret. Make sure to dress appropriately (no uncovered shoulders/knees, hair does not need to be covered) and respect the prayer times, so you do not disturb practitioners :)
A small mosque, far from the grandeur of those in Istanbul, for example. But she is beautiful. It is worth visiting first of all for the very beautiful view from the top of the minaret (beware, the staircase is narrow, steep and turns stereotypically in a circle; likewise the balcony, it is very narrow). Entrance is paid.
The Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a stunning Ottoman-era gem overlooking the iconic Stari Most bridge. Built in the 17th century, it offers intricate interior decorations and one of the best panoramic views in the city from its slender minaret. Visitors can climb to the top for breathtaking photos of the Neretva River and the old town. Peaceful yet vibrant, the mosque beautifully captures Mostar’s cultural and historical soul.
If you like great pictures from an unobstructed view then it’s worth the 8 euros. I was the only one in the minaret and had as much time as I wanted.
The 1618 mosque stands out from the rest and is a landmark in this part of Mostar. The simplicity of its architecture, along with its 30-meter minaret, creates a distinctive structure along the Neretva River.

Pilgrimage place

Well-traversed site where apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary have been reported since 1981.
Slide 1 of 8
Peaceful and Powerful Experience Apparition Hill has a truly special atmosphere – peaceful, spiritual, and moving. You feel incredibly close to something greater while you’re there. The hike up takes about 15 minutes, depending on your pace. It’s a bit rocky, so good shoes help, but it’s manageable for most people. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a beautiful view and a deep sense of calm. A must-visit spot if you’re in Medjugorje – whether for faith, reflection, or just the incredible energy of the place.
Absolutely wonderful and worth the hike up the hill to be able to pray the rosary where our Blessed Mother appeared. All Catholics should make the pilgrimage here once.
It was a very enlightening experience to witness such dedication among the pilgrims who made the climb up Apparition Hill. Some did it barefoot but I would highly recommend a strong pair of hiking boots as some of the rocks are quite sharp. It takes around 10 minutes to climb to Our Lady statue.
Van ride to Apparition Hill – the movie’s rising action. Winding through Medjugorje’s green hills, the van climbs toward Podbrdo, where the Virgin first appeared in 1981. Sunlit vineyards and stone walls flash by – anticipation builds with every turn. The pilgrimage deepens
Incredible place! You must go there to feel this atmosphere and energy. Hard climb up the hill on the rocks but was doable with three kids including 4 years old. It can get crowded, but on the other hand is so quiet and perfect place to pray to our Lady. She is there waiting for you!
The path up to Apparition hill is rough, be prepared for a hike. We saw some people that were quite old and it was challenging, but they went slowly and were undeterred. There’s not a single set path, and nobody was impatient. Spiritually so worth visiting.
Quite challenging going up the hills especially when its getting hot during summer, but its also a lovely things to do! It will take about 20-30mins for upper top!
Great views in such a peaceful place. Would come back! Wear good hiking shoes tho!

Beautiful house, the tour was awesome and filled with lots of wonderful details. Our tour guide was so sweet and charming! Absolutely incredible that this house has been owned and maintained by the same family for centuries, what a treasure
Don't miss this beautiful museum/former home built during the Ottoman period of Bosnia and Herzegovina history. The entrance feels was very reasonable (10 BAM). Included in the price a guide who was charming and very informative. I loved that the home is still owned by the same descendants of the gentleman who had it built 5 generations earlier. The home is a very easy walk from the hustle and bustle of the old town, and it was a welcome break from the busy street (I visited in April, I can't imagine it in the full season 🥺). My photos don't do it justice. Enjoy
The oldest house in Mostar, which belonged to an ottoman judge. The family has been living here for 400 years, now the last family members left. I was welcomed by a friendly Bosnian lady, who told me the story about the house and family. Entrance fee is 5 euros, only cash 💵 . 15 mins is enough to explore all remaining rooms.
An excellent house-museum with original furniture and an authentic atmosphere. The lady who provided the house tour was very informative and engaging. She spoke excellent English and was simply a pleasure to talk to. She also provided a lot of other useful information about the town, other attractions, recommended restaurants. Perfect respite from hustle of the Old Bazaar. Definitely recommend to visit.
A visit to Kajtaz House is essential in your exploration of the early Ottoman development of Mostar. It is an oasis of quiet and calm outside the energy, crowds, and activity of Old Town. The family history, the traditional architecture, and the insight into Ottoman residential life is unmatched. The renovation process (and challenges that accompany it) is also of interest to anyone who appreciates cultural heritage and its preservation. Sadina, my guide, had a lovely demeanor - perfectly matching the peaceful welcome of this beautiful site. She was available for all my questions and so patient of my slow exploration of the house. Even though I was only one person, it was no problem and gave me a complete tour. This is not always the case when exploring solo. Highly recommend visited Kajtaz House. Its located just outside of Old Town, but along the way, you can visit the statue of Santic and Emina, check out the view of Old Town from Lucki Most, and eat some delicious pita at the pekara just on the corner where you turn on the alley leading to the house. Worth the short walk. Helpful hint: although hot, if you go in the middle of the day, you might have the site to yourself!
The place is closed and will only be opened in April 2026. Honoured to be the last guests for 2025. The owner/host who is the descent of the owner of the house who built it in 1561 was friendly and shared stories how her ancestors lived in the house. Worth the visit! 10Bam/5€
Very nice old style house. We had a private tour about 10 minutes from a family member. Strong recommendation if you want to know how it was long time ago. UNESCO location.
I was lucky to have a private tour with an owner of the house, just because I was the only visitor. It really feals like an old family house, and the things are telling

This may be a smaller version of the main bridge, but it felt truly magical—especially at sunset. It’s much more peaceful and less crowded, offering a serene atmosphere. The setting is charming and beautiful, with plenty of restaurants and coffee shops lining the bridge, making it a perfect spot to unwind and take in the view.
The Crooked Bridge in Mostar is a beautiful little landmark that feels like a peaceful counterpart to the famous Old Bridge. With its graceful stone arch over a small stream, it has the same charm and historic feel but without the large crowds.
It's like the bigger bridge, only smaller. As such it gets far less foot traffic, and it doesn't really lead to or from much tourist wise, but it has some lovely views and is more convenient for moving around. Did you also know this bridge is older than the more prominent "old bridge". They should call this one Older bridge.
Built in 1558 during Ottoman rule, it's much smaller than the Old Bridge, yet untouched for centuries. You can easily spot it from the Old Town Street leading to the main bridge. The street is beautiful, with its unique atmosphere, becoming more beautiful with every step.
Lovely bridge, smaller than the iconic Old Bridge, but just as lovely, and not crowded, which makes it more of a hidden gem. Lovely to wander around this fairytale place.
Beautiful bridge , similar but smaller than the Old Bridge and of course less crowd, the stream below it is also very nice and picturesque!
Tucked like a secret in Mostar’s old town, Kriva ćuprija is the quiet sibling of Stari Most—smaller, humbler, but no less soulful. Its semicircular arch leans with character, a graceful imperfection that whispers of Ottoman experiments and centuries of resilience. 🕰️ Built in the 16th century, this bridge was a prototype for its grander cousin. Though damaged by war and washed away by floods, it was lovingly rebuilt in 2002, stone by stone, memory by memory.
A smaller and mess busier version of the old bridge, but still as beautiful and charming in its own way. The stream flowing below adds to its beauty and looks amazing at night too. A good detour for photos when the old bridge is crowded.

A path with the Stations of the Cross climbs to a summit topped with a huge, white 1930s cross.
Slide 1 of 8
It's an experience in itself to make it upto the Cross. Not easy to climb up but do make it. It has the Stations of the Cross as you walk along. Suggest to start early
A lovely prayerful climb. A few tips - start really early preferably before sunrise. You do need shoes (unless you are going barefoot which is so inspirational) and light comfortable clothing. The stations of the cross help to take pauses, pray and meditate. The terrain is rough. It took me nearly an hour to climb at medium pace. I was inspired by many older folks who were climbing with walking sticks. Beautiful views from the top. Try it out… blessings!
It is quite larger than the Apparition hill and quite steep and stony. There are stations of the cross while you climb and it is not meant for the faint-hearted. The stones are quite sharp so that in case of falling one may break the bones.
Small hike to the top, fantastic views, very busy.
Worth going or at least trying challenge to get to the top, as temperatures over the summer hit 42 degrees and to get all the way to the top you have to climb over rocks and red sand. Bring at least 1l of water for each person + bare in mind it takes roughly 45-50 minutes to get there during the day. But view and entire spiritual journey is definitely worth going!
It is moving and powerful to pray the stations of the cross as you climb Cross Mountain. I followed the tradition of carrying a stone, representing my sins, from the bottom of the mountain to the top, and leaving it at the resurrection station. I experienced great peace and consolation when offering my prayer intentions at the foot of the cross.
A labor of love 💘. The journey is arduous. It is rocky and steep. Young and old complete this trek up this mountain in a spiritual quest seeking guidance for a troubled humanity. Bronze reliefs of Jesus's last day on earth emerge as you go higher to the beautiful White Cross destination.
The Holly Way of the Cross is a wonderful way to pray. peace and quiet in all parts of Medjugorie, despite the large number of pilgrims. A place you want to go to again and again.

Impressive cemetery for hundreds of antifascists partisan soldiers that were killed in second world war fighting germans and their allies. Unfortunatly it was partially destroyed by fascists in 2022.
Tito of Yugoslavia built this for the Partisans Heros who fought WWII. Now there’s no more Yugoslavia & this site is abandoned. History happened, but history is always written by the winners. The weak & defeated is forever forgotten. This is a beautiful place of the abandoned history. God bless their souls.
Peaceful and solemn place honoring the Yugoslav Partisans who fought in WWII. The layout is impressive, with rows of white tombstones and a striking monument overlooking the city. It’s quiet, reflective, and full of history — a meaningful stop for those interested in socialist architecture or wartime heritage. The views from the top are beautiful, adding a sense of calm to the memorial’s powerful atmosphere.
That's a shame that a true modernist masterpiece is abandoned and decays quickly. It isn't even shown in the tourist map of the city, as if it didn't exist. The "flowers" with partisans' names are almost totally broken. So, if you appreciate the 20th century architecture, hurry to see.
Great socialist monument, if you're into that kind of things. It in expected state of non-existing maintenance, but the vibe of old glory is still there. Visit it before it vanishes like many others...
Amazing view from the top, worth the climb. We visited only a few months after the plaques were vandalised, but still found the experience enjoyable. Very unique architecture. Its too unfortunate that the place is not taken care of anymore, so there are bushes and plants as well as some garbage around. However, it is one of those places you must visit while you are in Mostar!
It seems to be dying a low death but it is well worth a visit in my book! Photos from July 2025.
Probably the most beautiful and interesting memorial I've seen, but for the love of god, when I climbed to the top, there was a clothed man waving his peepee like a helicopter. Terrifying 1/10 experience. Solo female (and male) travellers - stay safe 🫡

(Translated by Google) Right now it's nice to see how it's being rebuilt and I hope it will be finished soon. (Original) Trenutno je lijepo gledati kako se obnavlja a nadam se da će biti uskoro završen.
A very hidden attraction but still worth a small visit. Also known as titos palace depending on the guide you're using. But it serves today as one of many of mostars war monuments.
Cool place, it’s worth a quick visit

What a great step back into history and a cultural experience with art exhibits to gaze at as well. Totally worth a visit and the cost of admission. We had two amazing staff looking after us, Layla and Amina! But we have to give special thanks to Layla as our tour guide since she did a very excellent job answering all our questions and putting up with our jokes! Layla was professional, easy to understand, and knew lots of information we found interesting about Yugoslavia and Tito’s Bunker. Would be willing to come back again, so much to see and learn, it’s hard to swallow it all in just one visit.
Not to be missed. I'll clarify some points deemed important to prospect visitors rather than talking about the place itself, since the bunker is well-described on the internet. There are 3 tours per day, all guided, and each tour will have 2 separate groups in 2 languages: local and English. The English-speaking guide was fluent. The tour duration is about 70 minutes. The number of tour participants is limited, so buy tickets online in advance and make sure to have a car waiting for you outside when you finish so you can leave the place. It will be very difficult to walk all the way back. I had to take some visitors back to town with me since their taxi did not wait for them.
The bunker would be interesting, but unfortunately, the history and rooms are being ruined by some modern art, and it was artistically designed, having nothing to do with the place. I don't know why they would force such nonsense into empty rooms; it made a terrible impression. However, the guide showed us around and gave an interesting story for 1.5 hours. Entry is 40 km. You first buy your ticket at an agency (you have to go to their website, make a reservation, then you get an email asking you to send photos of your ID, your desired entry time, and the language you want). Then you go to the agency to collect your tickets and pay. They tell you where to go on your own (a few kilometers). There, you park your car on the side of the road, dodge the wasps that try to sting you (successfully). You wait by the gate for a large bus that takes you to the entrance of the bunker in two minutes, where you wait for your guide. The bunker itself is large, but there are no amazing things inside. It's very repetitive, but hey, it's worth it for the history. P.S. Tito never went there. Would be better, if cheaper, honestly
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely fascinating place to visit if you’re anywhere near Konjic. Tito’s Bunker (ARK D-0) is one of the most unique Cold War sites in all of Europe, hidden deep inside the mountains and preserved almost exactly as it was when it was a top-secret military installation. Walking through the massive steel blast doors, the long tunnels, and the command rooms feels like stepping back into history — you really sense the scale of fear and preparation during that time. The tour gives you insight into why this bunker was built, how much it cost, and how it could sustain the Yugoslav leadership for months if nuclear war had ever broken out. The combination of concrete engineering, military design, and even small details like furniture and communication systems still being intact makes it an unforgettable learning experience. Our guide was excellent — very knowledgeable, approachable, and happy to answer questions. The tour flows well, taking you through different sections from sleeping quarters to the command centre, with enough time to explore and take photos. It’s eerie but also impressive to see how well it was built and how secret it remained until the 1990s. Practical side: definitely book in advance since you can only enter with a guided tour. The price might feel a little high compared to other attractions in Bosnia, but in my opinion it’s worth it for the history and the rarity of this kind of site. There was no wait to enter (need to book 24hrs in advance though!) and the whole tour lasted about 1.5–2 hours which felt just right. Overall, this is a must-see if you’re into history, architecture, or just want to experience something truly different while in Bosnia. One of the highlights of the trip! Highly recommended.
The ticket price is 20€ for foreigners and 10€ for Bosnian nationals. Make sure you booked your ticket in advance! You can do it either physically in Konjic in one of numerous agencies, or online (and you'll need to take your paper ticket in the agency anyway). You can't just go to the entrance and buy a ticket. The tour takes about 1.5 hours. The tour is very interesting, the guides are professionals. As for the bunker itself, it is extremely interesting, but to my taste art installations should not be there.
You need to make a reservation at least 24 HOURS prior. There are multiple agencies offering them, each for 40BAM. You arrive to the location and then you are transported with bus to tunnel entrance. When we visited there were only 9 and 12 o'clock tours. For me it was a little bit dissapointig as I thought it would be more historical. Also the art ruined it for me a little bit, especially where the artist drew on the original maps in the map room. But art is subjective and you might enjoy it! Overall it's a great experience, but could be better. Instead of art it could feature more of the time appropriate stuff.
Tito’s Bunker is an impressive and unique glimpse into Yugoslav history. The guided 1.5-hour tour was very informative, led by an excellent guide. The mix of history and contemporary art creates a little bit disturbing atmosphere. Overall, it’s absolutely worth visiting. The entrance fee for foreigners is 20 euros and for domestic tourists 10.
The place itself is very interesting and definitely worth visiting. However, the contemporary art installations just don't belong there. They stick out like a sore thumb and kill the vibe. Our tour guide seemed to be in a rush to finish the tour and she seemed annoyed whenever we took some time to look around and take photos since she had to wait for us. I expected her to provide more info about how the bunker was built. Note that you need to call first to book the tickets in advance. You pick up the tickets at their office in town and the bunker entrance is a 15ish-minute ride outside the town. So, make sure you have transportation there.
