Itinerary

  1. Blagaj is a village-town in the south-eastern region of the Mostar basin, in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It stands at the edge of Bišće plain and is one of the most valuable mixed urban and rural structures in Bosnia and Herzegovina, distinguished from other similar structures in its urban layout. Blagaj was most likely named for its mild weather patterns since blaga in Serbo-Croatian means "mild". Blagaj is situated at the spring of the Buna river and a historical tekke (tekija or Dervish monastery). The Blagaj Tekija was built around 1520, with elements of Ottoman architecture and Mediterranean style and is considered a national monument. Blagaj Tekke is a monastery built for the Dervish cults.

About Mostar

Mostar is the main city of Herzegovina, set on the Neretva River and known for its arched Ottoman bridge and the old bazaar around it.

Mostar takes its name from the bridge-keepers who once guarded the crossing, and the Old Bridge, Stari Most, is its symbol: a single high stone arch built by the Ottomans in 1566 over the green Neretva. It was destroyed in 1993 during the war and rebuilt, reopening in 2004, and the old town around it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cobbled lanes of the Kujundžiluk bazaar sell copperware and crafts.

Top-ranked sights in Mostar: Kravice Waterfall (Vodopad Kravica), Old Bridge (Stari Most), Blagaj Monastery (Blagaj Tekija).
