Day 3 - Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Take a morning drive to historic Mostar, in Bosnia and Herzegovina—a beautiful town that spans the Neretva River and is famed for its Old Bridge. This spectacularly graceful bridge initially stood between 1556 and 1993, before it was destroyed during the Yugoslavian civil war. It was since been rebuilt using stone from the original quarries, and has been named—along with the surrounding Old Town—a UNESCO World Heritage site. Take a walking tour of historic Mostar and enjoy additional free time to explore on your own. Enjoy a special dinner and Sevdalinka (traditional music) at Biscevica House, a Turkish home built in the 1600s, as you learn about Mostar's history first-hand by a resident of the area. Tonight, check in at Hotel Mepas (or similar). (B,L,D)
