Love the river scenery there - it's so beautiful, especially at the bridge area. Although a heavy topic, would definitely enjoy seeing the museum in person. So much yummy food there. That restaurant where you had dinner would be amazing in the nicer weather. Great comfort food for the cold weather.

Such a mesmerizing tour of Mostar! The history and architecture are truly captivating, especially the iconic bridge. It's like stepping back in time while wandering those cobblestone streets. Thanks for showcasing these hidden gems and the delicious Bosnian cuisine! Can't wait to explore more through your videos.

[RachaelMartin]

[TheSuiteLifeofNannyandGigi]

The buildings and bridge looks amazing. I see you enjoying the food again. The history as you give it, is always interesting. Any war always leaves much to recover from. Thanks for the interesting history and the sincerity in perspective of the war.

It's honestly beautiful the old town is like something out of a fairytale.
The view from the bridge wow
Veal soup never had it but would like to try.
Dinner looked delicious especially the stewed beef.

I wish I would’ve went to Bosnia when I was in Croatia and Montenegro. Wow jumping into the water from the bridge sounds interesting. I’m going to have to look up videos. And perfect time for beer! It’s 5 o clock somewhere lol!

[Migratory-Nerds]

So much tragic history, but the museum looks well done.

[TripsCultureTC]

Mostar is definitely on my bucket list. I'm already starting a tour of the Balkan countries, and Bosnia is certainly on my list.

[StepsbyKaatje]

I was also old enough to know the war going on and since I had been there before, it was more personal. And as you say, it happend in my lifetime...
But I didn't know Bosnië was the centre of it all.
Thanks for sharing this.
Food always helps to feel better! 😋

I hope you had a great time in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the country where I was born and where I still live. We are one of the poorer countries in Europe, but we have beautiful natural resources such as mountains, waterfalls, rivers... I hope there will be more reports from these areas of mine: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia... I'm glad you got to know our region.

A dark past, hopefully a bright future. I forgot they were still fighting up until 2000 - 01, I visited in 2004 so it was so close to the end of the war. sad to hear there are still palpable tensions but I am not surprised. I remember talking to some Bosnians in Sarajevo who said that if the UN left the war would be on again the second they did. The museum was not open. neither was the bridge to be fair. or much when I was there. it looks so COLD - your face goes red about halfway through from the freezing wind I am guessing. Believe it or not I was there during a heatwave where it was around 40 degrees (Celsius, that's like 110 or more Fahrenheit I think). Sarajevo is definitely worth a visit. looking fwd to seeing Split I have heard really good things about it. great vid Ben!

[FarisCoric]

[ashlynngalluzzo]
