Planning to visit Mostar,<\/a>\u00a0 our beautiful city?\u00a0 You have already booked one of the best Mostar apartments<\/a> or villas<\/a>? Are you planning just a short city tour<\/a>?\u00a0 If your answer is yes to any of these questions then keep on reading for you should keep some things in mind when visiting Mostar.
\nThe weather during the\u00a0summer can get really hot<\/strong> and the Old Town streets are not that footwear friendly. But don’t worry, that’s what this list is for, now let’s get you caught up!<\/p>\n

Bring appropriate clothes with you<\/h3>\n

Now when we say appropriate, we mean light coloured<\/strong> T-shirts. \u201eWhy?\u201c – You might ask. Well, it’s because the weather can get really hot, like +40 \u00b0<\/strong>C and walking down crowded streets under the warm summer\u00a0sun<\/strong> can be a bit much for someone. The light coloured T-shirts don’t absorb as much light from the sun, so it will still be bearable to walk long distances through the city.<\/p>\n

What is the best time to avoid on Mostar visit<\/h3>\n

While on the topic of the\u00a0weather\u00a0<\/strong>you should be warned that most people choose to avoid spending too much time on the streets from 2 PM till 6 P.\u00a0 This is because around this time Mostar gets really hot. The highest temperature<\/strong> recorded this summer was 42 \u00b0C<\/strong>, and it isn’t uncommon for people to get dehydrated<\/strong> and sometimes even fall unconscious.<\/p>\n

Be careful when walking around Old Town<\/h3>\n

No, we don’t mean someone might mug you, we literally mean be careful of the streets. The cobbled path in the Old Town<\/a> can be tricky for tourists.\u00a0 The road can be really slippery<\/strong> and uncomfortable to walk on, so be mindful<\/strong> where you’re walking while visiting Mostar. Baby strollers<\/strong> and bikes<\/strong> aren’t the best things to ride around the Old Town as well, so be careful when and where you ride them. Don’t forget to bring shoes<\/strong> that are lightweight and have thick soles.<\/p>\n

And a tip for the<\/strong> ladies<\/strong>: for the love of God don’t walk around in high<\/strong>\u00a0heels<\/strong> in the Old Town. It’s a nightmare trust us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Visit Mostar and bring lots and lots of water<\/h3>\n

Pretty self explanatory, but really important as well. Bring lots and lots of water<\/strong> with you when you go out, or be prepared to buy some in the local stores. You need to stay hydrated<\/strong> so you keep yourself fresh during the heat. It’s one of the biggest mistakes tourist make when visiting Mostar and Herzegovina. So be careful and stay hydrated.<\/p>\n

How to get around town<\/h3>\n

Hands down the best mode for transportation when visiting Mostar is a taxi<\/strong>. But don’t be fooled, not all taxis are equal. Never pick taxis off the street, especially ones that don’t have a classic taxi sign<\/strong> on them. If by any chance you do get into one of them you won’t be surprised that they charge<\/strong> you almost 3-4 times<\/strong> as much as a normal taxi.<\/p>\n

So stay clear of them and if you need a taxi while visiting Mostar we’d recommend calling any one of taxi numbers<\/strong> : 1599, 1503, 1504, 1506 1507.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding a parking spot in Mostar<\/h3>\n

Once you visit\u00a0\u00a0Mostar<\/a>, you might notice that there are not that many parking garages or parking spots. It’s mostly because everybody parks on the side of the road or they have their own spot next to their house or building. But don’t be afraid, for there is always a solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Usually parking lots<\/strong> have spaces available and they cost you about 5\u20ac per day<\/strong>. There are a couple of parking lots in the Old Town area and next to the under-construction hotel Mariott<\/strong>. And another one next to the Franciscan church<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Visit Mostar and taste local food and delicacies<\/h3>\n

Finding delicious food<\/strong> in Mostar is no hard task at all, be it the local food you find at street vendors<\/strong> scattered throughout the Mostar town or the more immersive grilled deliciousness that you find in restaurants<\/a> in Old Town and it’s vicinity. Some of our favorite meals<\/strong> include \u0107evapi, japrak, sarma, dolma,<\/strong> u\u0161tipci<\/strong> and peksimeti and many more. Your best bet is to choose anything you find delicious on the menu and try your best not to drool all over yourself.<\/p>\n

Places to relax when visiting Mostar<\/h3>\n

Now if you are looking for some places where you can just sit down<\/a>, relax<\/strong>, have a drink and listen to the Neretva river flowing through the heart of Mostar your best bet are a couple of places in Old Town. We recommend going to either one of these places: Mio Pasto, Restaurant Divan, Restaurant Lagero<\/strong>. They offer great services<\/strong> and the food is great as well.<\/p>\n

Visiting Mostar and Nightlife<\/h3>\n

While not as exciting as New York Or Shanghai, Mostar offers more fun<\/strong> and social kind of nightlife<\/a> where you can explore random cafes<\/a> and clubs and meet new people every day. While the music selection isn’t overwhelming, we recommend some great places<\/strong> to grab a beer<\/strong> and have a great time<\/strong>. If you want to attend live shows<\/strong> we highly recommend Black Dog Pub<\/a>. They have live performances<\/strong> every week (during the season every night) and sometimes have Pub quizzes. There are also a couple of clubs like Ali Baba<\/a> and Daleka Obala<\/a> that offer a club nightlife.<\/p>\n

Be wary of gypsies<\/h3>\n

No, they won’t put a curse on you, don’t worry. Many people don’t know this but there is a percentage<\/strong> of the population in Mostar that are Romani<\/strong> people, that are borderline homeless<\/strong> and penniless. They are usually on the streets almost every day in harsh weather begging<\/strong> for money. Most of them are children. And while it is sad to see something like that, you can either help them by giving them some money or ask them if you can buy them food or water or not giving them anything at all.<\/p>\n

But bare in mind if you give them the money, they don’t get to keep it, instead, they have to give everything to their \u201esuperiors\u201c. At the end of the day, it’s all up to you.<\/p>\nadvice<\/a>Advice on visit Mostar<\/a>Advise for Mostar Visit<\/a>best local food in Mostar<\/a>Clothes to bring to Mostar<\/a>food<\/a>golden rules for visiting mostar<\/a>Mostar<\/a>Mostar Guide<\/a>Mostar Parking<\/a>Mostar Taxi Numbers<\/a>Mostar Travel Guides<\/a>Mostar Visit<\/a>Mostar Walking Tour<\/a>Nightlife in Mostar<\/a>Old Town<\/a>restaurants<\/a>Restaurants in Mostar<\/a>Summer in Mostar<\/a>taxi in Mostar<\/a>Temperatures in Mostar<\/a>tips<\/a>tips for mostar visit<\/a>Visit to Old Town of MOstar<\/a>Visiting Mostar<\/a>What to eat in Mostar<\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
