I remember seeing, as a child, a photograph showing daring young Yugoslav men jumping from a bridge into impossibly blue water below. It struck me as very exciting and must have made quite an impression on me as I told myself that one day I would see it for myself. The bridge was in Mostar which is now in the independent country of Bosnia and Herzegovina; more specifically, it is the regional capital of the province of Herzegovina in the south west of the country. There is a bridge there today but it is not the original; that was blown up by a Croatian rocket during the Bosnian war but after the war it was rebuilt, partly using the original materials which fell into the gorge below. In the summer of 2009 I was able to visit this city I had longed to see for so many years and found a small but charming place that has so much more to offer ...
Advantages: Idyllic setting, fascinating history, friendly people Disadvantages: Difficult to get to - limited range of facilities
Writing any article on Mostar is very difficult for me as every time I think of this city in Bosnia Herzegovina I feel very emotional. I have only visited twice but the whole city and people left a great heartfelt impression on me. I am not sure if it is because of what happened to the town in the Bosnian War, where families who had lived together side by side for centuries suddenly started killing each other, or whether it is the destruction of the houses and buildings, and the famous old bridge or perhaps it is just because the town overlooking the river is such a beautiful, tranquil place. I don't know, but I hope you will read my review and hopefully go along one day to see this important and interesting city in Bosnia Herzegovina.

Advantages: So near to W. Europe's tourist hotspots, but so different Disadvantages: Infrastructure harmed after a decade of turbulence
Mostar has a famously tragic history, which should never be forgotten, but you shouldn't let the shadow of the war in the 1990s from overpowering the fantastic experience you will have in Mostar. It is true that bomb-damaged houses dot the streets of the city, a constant reminder of the horrors which the Bosnian people suffered; but, in a symbolic juxtaposition, alongside the destruction the city seems to be redeveloping, modernising, awaking from its war-induced slumber.
The old bridge over the Neretva (a river of the most startling shade of pure turquoise, quite unlike the many polluted waterways of Western Europe) has been rebuilt and is a fantastic attraction in itself. But the whole old city is a great experience. The architecture, the shops, the food, the faces of the local population all betray the fabled mix of Eastern European ...
