We were delighted to welcome Sara back to Mostar with Alberto. Sara had last been in Mostar following the wars 30 years ago when she contributed to humanitarian aid efforts in the community. This is when Sara first met Ševko.

On this visit, Sara returned to Mostar as friend and traveler, not only renewing personal ties from so many years ago, but experiencing the vibrancy of Mostar today and the transformation it has undergone in the last decades. A meaningful conversation over dinner and private tour of Mostar (in Italian) highlighted the changes which have taken place over the years and the challenges we are still overcoming today.

Thanks for joining us, Sara and Alberto and safe travels ahead! We look forward to seeing you again.

Catching some shade cast by Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque on a recent sunny day in Mostar.

Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque is a stunning example of traditional Ottoman religious architecture. Nestled in Old Town, overlooking the banks of the Neretva River, and with an incredible view of the Old Bridge, it is easily a must-visit location during your time Mostar. If you have the time and interest, the mosque is open to visitors with the unique opportunity to climb the narrow minaret to take in a full 360 degree view of Mostar below.

But the mosque complex you visit is so much more than a religious space! Traditionally, these complexes were hubs of and for the local community with necessary resources including soup kitchens, educational facilities, and medical care. They even played important legal, administrative, and economic functions in society.

Interested in learning more? Join us on a daily group or private walking tours with one of our fantastic guides. Compelling narratives will add meaning to the list of sites on your itinerary, enabling you to instead experience Mostar as a captivating landscape storied by a long and fascinating history and culture within a lively present day community.

Mostar is vibrancy. There is a radiance that is unique to our city streets. Ivo Andrić famously spoke about the light of Mostar waking one up in the morning…and it does. But it is the undulating changes of the light and its colors that will draw you away from your window and down to the city streets to explore. These colors will pull you along, day after day. The landscape is never experienced quite the same way twice. With the shifting light, gathering clounds, and changing seasons, the colors ebb and flow, but always beckon to the beholder to continue along their path of discovery.

Adding to color is the artwork that graces our city streets and walls, contributing layers of meaning embedded in the local landscape. Like the light, it shifts and changes over time. Often ephemeral in nature, the massive murals that make up the city’s outdoor exhibition changes, whether through new and overlapping artistic interventions, urban development, or the gradual removal of the chosen medium by natural elements.

Take a walk and make sure to look up and down and around corners. Explore Mostar, a city of color.

Take a step inside with Sheva! Did you know our private tours can be customized to include visits to the most celebrated heritage sites and architectural gems in Mostar and throughout the region? Whatever your interest might be - religious tradition, gastronomy, history - Sheva’s tours and excursions can include a look inside and below the surface for a truly immersive experience.

Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque is one such site, representing the religious architecture of the Ottoman period. The Herzegovina sun illuminates and warms the interior space, making it an inviting space to explore all year round. Absorb the ambience, reflect on the site’s history and architectural design, and capture stunning images to revisit after returning home. If you are one of the many visitors who have not had the opportunity to visit a mosque (and especially one that has been restored in its original form from the early 1600s), then Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque should be added to your itinerary. No need to stop on the ground floor…this beautiful site also offers guests the unique opportunity to climb the minaret for an unmatched view of Mostar’s Old Town and the surrounding city. Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque will come to life through our words which will offer explanation and understanding of this historical treasure.

Join Sheva for a memorable experience exploring this and other jewels along the Neretva River Valley and throughout Herzegovina!

We are just over only one week into the new year, and we have already welcomed many guests to Mostar! The group in this photo just happens to be from our first tour of 2025. Even better, one of our guests on New Year’s Day had already joined Sheva Walking Tours on a previous visit and decided to return to Mostar once again with her friends. Whether solo or in the company of additional friends and family, we love having the opportunity to welcome guests back to town! We know from personal experience that Mostar has a way of drawing people back again (and again and again)…and in some cases, some visitors are compelled to stay and call it home!

27/12/2024

Wander the narrow streets of Mostar, especially the old mahalas dating from the city’s expansion during the Ottoman period, and you will likely notice the metal door knockers at the entrance of homes. These traditional round door knockers are often referred to as Zvekir, but more traditionally called Halka in the region of Herzegovina. The design is found as a motif in artistic works and used for inspiration in locally produced jewelry. It is present within the time worn lyrics of celebrated sevdalinka songs.

Whether ornately designed or a more simplistic solid disk, the Halka is always a beautiful sign of welcome into the home of your family, friends, and neighbors. It has come to represent the type of hospitality for which the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina are well known - not only amongst our own community members but also extended to our international visitors and guests.

But don’t take our word for it! “Bujrum” (another word you will likely hear upon arrival!) - welcome and come join us in Bosnia and Herzegovina and experience the warm welcome of our country and its people. We hope to see you soon!

Experience the Local - Walk With Us!

Sheva Walking Tours is a team of dedicated Mostarians who want to share our home and experience with you! Our tip-based Free Walking Tour of Mostar is our most popular tour and we also offer Private Tours focused on specific aspects of Mostar’s history, culture and landscape. In addition to exploring the history and culture of Mostar, our tours include our favorite anecdotes and stories about Mostar and provide you with an insider’s perspective on food and entertainment that should not be missed while you are in town!

Sheva’s Free Walking Tour of Mostar was inspired by the stories and history Ševko (head guide and owner) shared with his partner who relocated to Mostar permanently from the U.S. The tour developed in response to what we felt was a gap in the walking tours offered to visitors in Mostar, many of which do not directly address the recent events of the last three decades or discuss today’s socio-political context in a critical and informed manner.

Sheva’s Free Walking Tour operates year-round and provides an affordable opportunity for both groups and individuals of all ages and backgrounds to come together to encounter Mostar from a local perspective. We believe it is essential to provide a tour that does not erase Mostar’s difficult past and instead, contextualizes it so that you can better understand not only what occurred in Mostar, but what locals have experienced. The best way to understand Mostar’s present, is to understand the region’s history.

We strive to create a unique experience during each tour that responds to guests individual interest and questions about Mostar and the wider region. We won’t shy away from difficult questions or topics and because we are independently operated, our tours are not scripted. We do not have any personal political motivation – our only agenda is to leave you with a well-rounded understanding of Mostar’s past, present and future through a compelling 2 hour tour. Because of Mostar’s recent tumultuous history, we believe it is our responsibility to provide our guests a well-balanced and objective perspective while also retaining our personal approach.
