💫 Final Thoughts

Mostar is more than its bridge — it’s a symbol of hope, connection, and beauty rising from history.
You’ll leave with hundreds of photos, but more importantly, a feeling — calm, reflective, and deeply moved. 💙

✨ Travel Tip: You can take a day trip from Sarajevo but I’m glad I Stayed at least one night — wander the bridge by day and again after sunset when the lights reflect on the river and the crowds fade away.
