1. Tomislav's Tip on Mostar

Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Hot, hot summers (40+ degrees C) and very cold winds in spring and autumn are the most notable characteristics of Mostar's weather. People are one of the most hospitable that I have ever encountered on my travels and they'll easily make you feel at home. The city itself is divided in half between two big religions: Christianity and Islam. Their architecture is distinct and notable in every part of the city.

Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Sarajevo is teh city that I remeber the most of the food... it was snowey weather during my visit so didnt enjoy the beauty of the the city that much, but i can tell that it has oriental charm in parteurope town, wich is great.... but the foooood, oh the food... I am not such a gurman (like my friends that went with me there), but i enjoyed eating traditionals specialties. for the dinner choose "INAT kuća" or "Dveri", and during the day eat burek or ćevapi along the way .... enjoy

4. Guillaume's Tip on Mostar

Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Il y a maintenant plus de 10 ans que j'ai visité Mostar, et je me souviens encore de cette ambiance... Une ville à l'époque ravagée par la guerre, des ruines de partout. Des marques de violence sur chaque mur, poteau électrique, et une terreur qui vous pétrifiait lorsque vous rentrez dans la ville. Je me souviens aussi des plaines désertiques environnantes qui n'étaient pas moins touchées par les passages de la guerre. Combien de douilles ai-je trouvées dans les champs, lorsque nous pouvions nous rendre dans les champs, c'est à dire lorsqu'on était sûrs de ne pas poser le pied sur une mine restée là... Mostar a, je l'espère, changé depuis ces années. C'est une ville tellement riche en histoire, mais tellement ravagée par les successions de violences qu'il faudra encore certainement une ou deux génération pour pouvoir arriver à un climat de paix entre les différentes communautés. Le pays a tellement besoin de se ressouder pour avancer sereinement dans la vie !
