Mostar is an affordable place with a unique charm and is suitable for short work stays or travel. It's easy to get there from Sarajevo, and the train ride offers impressive scenery. Accommodation is well-priced and generally of good quality. The surrounding region is small but filled with natural beauty and accessible spots to explore, making it great for hikers and nature lovers.

However, expect slow or unreliable internet, so it may not be ideal for working professionals who need strong connectivity. Public services—including transport, restaurants, and general communication—are inconsistent. Summer heat is intense and not pleasant for most people, though the coast is reachable within 45 minutes by car. Spring and autumn offer the best weather.

Mostar itself has some noteworthy sites but is largely a service town with nightlife and dining options. It doesn’t offer much in the way of long-term engagement, so a short stay of about a week is usually enough. If you're looking to unwind, enjoy outdoor activities, and don't mind adapting to the slower pace and inconsistent service, Mostar has a lot to offer, especially for budget-conscious travelers.

AI-generated summary of reviews

Mostar is a cozy place near the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It is possible to go there by train and the view during traveling Sarajevo-Mostar is spectacular. Mostar has a small airport but is not functioning most of the time.
Hotels, hostels, and apartments are affordable and look good.
Food offers a lot of red meat, but it's possible to do a good combination of cheese, bread, salads, and seafood.
WiFi is not the best.
There are a few points in the town that should be seen but mostly Mostar is a service town with nightlife, restaurants, and coffee places. It's quite lovely all of it, but besides it, the town doesn't offer a lot.
However, this part of Bosnia is beautiful and it is possible to see the different places around by staying in Mostar. It's a small region and in slow motion, five to seven days is more than enough. I have been several times and springs and autumns are the best, while winters are quite cold even without snow. Summers are unbearable, but it's possible to be on the sea cost in 45 minutes by car.
Services in the restaurants and general communication (busses, cabs, hosts, hospitals, stores) are not satisfactory, but traveling around I figured out they just behave that way, it shouldn't be taken personally.
If you are an outdoor person, there are mountains, rivers, and walking tours you shouldn't miss.

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
