One of the most underrated cities in Europe: where to go on vacation

While major European cities like Paris, Rome, and Barcelona attract millions of tourists every year, there are also lesser-known destinations that are overlooked. One of these hidden treasures is Mostar, a picturesque city in Bosnia and Herzegovina that offers a unique combination of history, culture, and stunning scenery.

Unlike Western European capitals, Mostar is a fairly budget-friendly destination. Renting an apartment and eating in restaurants is much cheaper here, making the city an ideal destination for travelers who want to enjoy European charm without spending a lot of money. The Express publication told us why it is worth visiting Mostar.

Mostar has a rich history that is reflected in its architecture and cultural diversity. The city was founded in the 15th century and has been influenced by different cultures over the years, such as Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav. This influenced the formation of the city's unique cultural heritage, which can be seen in its architecture, traditions and cuisine.

The Old Bridge is the symbol of Mostar and its main attraction. The bridge, which connects the two banks of the Neretva River, was built in the 16th century and is considered a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture.

In Mostar, you can feel the atmosphere of the past and enjoy the beauty of the city. Narrow streets, stone houses, mosques, churches and synagogues guarantee interesting walking tours. The old town is also home to many souvenir shops, cafes, and restaurants where you can taste local food and drink. Bosnian cuisine is known for its delicious and satisfying dishes. You should try cevapi, burek, baklava and other local specialties.

Mostar is located in a beautiful place, on the banks of the clear mountain river Neretva. Here you can enjoy picturesque views, visit the surrounding mountains and waterfalls.
