Irro Charter team would like to share with you some of the very best things to do whilst visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

1. Kujundziluk (Old Bazaar)

   Not far from the historic Stari Most, the historic and commercial centre of the Old Bazaar is situated on the banks of the River Neretva. This building was once packed with people making business deals, at the present time, people come here looking for handicrafts and artisan products. Be prepared to bargain really hard if you want to purchase jewellery, scarves, bags and shisha pipes.

2. Latin Bridge (Latinska Ćuprija)

   Incredibly short for its gravity, the Latin Bridge spans the River Miljacka between Obala Culina Bana and Obala Isa-Bega Ishakovića in Sarajevo. Brick construction of the bridge was built before the 16th century.

3. Sarajevo Tunnel (Tunel Spasa)

   The best way to learn about the Siege of Sarajevo is to visit the Sarajevo Tunnel (Tunel Spasa) War Museum. As the Bosnian War escalated, this tunnel acted as a significant lifeline for the city of Sarajevo in 1993.

4. Old Bridge (Stari Most)

   Founded in 1566, the Old Bridge (Stari Most) situated in multilingual Mostar straddles the Neretva River; it was designed by Turkish architect Kodja Mimar Sinan and built by Mimar Hayerdin, who was threatened with execution by the Sultan if the bridge should collapse. Thankfully, it was able to stand the test of time before its defeat during the Balkan Wars, but was rebuilt in 2004. The Old Bridge symbolizes reconciliation and harmony among the people of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

5. Bascarsija Bazaar

   Located north of Miljacka River and forming the heart of the Old Town in Sarajevo, Bascarsija Oriental Market is a lively bustling market where many mosques and hamams date back to 1462, when Bosnia was under Ottoman rule. The Bazaar started out as a caravanserai and over time grew into a labyrinthine of shaded and cobbled alleyways, by the 17th century it was a thriving trading centre with thousands of workshops offering many crafts from coppersmiths to potters and jewelers, with all existing amid the mosques and minarets.In 1879 a fire destroyed half of the bazaar, despite this there are still many artisan stores offering many goods including copper pots, gold, ceramics and hand-embroidered shawls, as well as cafes.

Bosnia

6. Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque

   The most beautiful and grandest of Bosniak Mosques is the Gazi Husrev-beg. It was designed in 1530 in Turkish style by the Iranian architect Adžem Esir Ali. The mosque sustained damage during the wars in the 1990s and it was rebuilt. The mosque's distinctive dome has once again become the symbol of the region.

7. Neretva River (Rijeka Neretva)

   The Neretva is Bosnia's longest river at 225 kilometres (140 miles) in length. The outlet of the river is regulated by four hydroelectric dams at the lower part of the river known as the Ostra. The Neretva River flows underneath the historic Stari Most ("Old Bridge"), which has become a symbol of reconciliation between Bosnia & Herzegovina and Croatia. From there, it flows down to the town of Pocitelj which is perched high up above the river.

8. Kajtaz House (Kajtazova Kuća)

   This historic residency dates back to the seventeenth century is exceptionally well preserved in the Muslim quarter of Mostar. The water fountain was installed before the Turkish governor's mansion in 1941.

9. Mostar Clock Tower (Sahat Kula)

   The Mostar Clock Tower is a perfect example of the Ottoman tradition left in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The tower stands next to the Herzegovina Museum and reaches 15 metres (49 feet) in height. At one stage the tower contained a bell, but was melted down during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of the country and has not since been reinstated. Like several of Mostar's historic landmarks, the Sahat Kula Cultural and Educational Centre suffered extensive damage during the Balkan wars of the 1990s, but were completely restored in 1999.

10. National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Zemaljski Muzej).

    The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina was established in 1888 when Bosnia was under control of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The National Mueseum of Bosnia and Herzegovian was closed during both world wars and the houses were destroyed during the Siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s. The Museum was closed for three years between 2012 – 2015 due to funding disagreements.
