You step out of the air‑conditioned van and the Neretva’s green ribbon folds through a town that has seen empires and modern conflict, its arched bridge like an honest scar across the river. Morning light slants along cobbled streets in Mostar as your guide points out Ottoman-era houses, the Crooked Bridge’s stones warmed by the sun, and the bazaar still selling handcrafted wares.
