I loved Mostar. I stayed at Hostel Majdas and they had the most impactful all-day tour. Made some friends in the hostel to explore the town. The food was incredible and the tragic history was palpable.

Solo travel experience

Blagaj and Počitelj are great day trips from Mostar! Highly recommend the Mućkalica (a tomato stew with grilled meats) and Peksimetina (a starter plate with fried bread, cheese, meat, etc) at Hindin Han in Mostar. Go see the Graffiti at the glass bank as well in Mostar. And check out the street art around town (they bring in Artists from all over every year for the street arts festival that happens around this time).
