Mostar is a cozy and affordable town that offers a unique experience, making it a good option for travelers on a budget. It is well-connected to Sarajevo by train, which offers scenic views. Accommodation is affordable, and the town has a good selection of nightlife, restaurants, and cafes.

However, the town itself does not have many attractions beyond a few key sights. The surrounding nature is beautiful, offering mountains, rivers, and walking tours for outdoor enthusiasts. Summers can be unbearably hot, though a trip to the coast is just 45 minutes away by car. Travelers should also be prepared for lower service standards in restaurants, transport, and general communication.

The food scene is heavily focused on red meat, though options like cheese, bread, salads, and seafood are available. WiFi can be unreliable, making it less ideal for remote work. While Mostar has its charms, it’s best suited for a short stay of around five to seven days, especially in spring or autumn when the weather is more comfortable.

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.

Green is good. Red is bad. Values shown are the medians of all daily highs in a month based on past few years, not necessarily current numbers. Remote worker count is estimated based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Not all nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

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. Not all 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.
