The day begins on the coastal road out of Split, the city receding as the inland karst takes over and the Neretva River appears like a green spine through Bosnia’s hills. By midmorning you arrive in Mostar, where the 16th-century Stari Most — a single elegant span of local stone — frames market stalls and the river’s steady current, daring you to stop and listen to the city’s layered stories.

Carry your passport

Bring local currency
Small vendors, market stalls, and some cafes may prefer BAM (Bosnia’s currency) or cash — have a mix of euros and BAM.
