Mostar International Airport (IATA: OMO, ICAO: LQMO) is a civilian and military airport located approximately 6 kilometres south of Mostar, the cultural and historic capital of the Herzegovina region in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The airport serves as the primary air gateway for the southern part of the country, handling both scheduled and charter flights. The airport has a single runway and modest passenger facilities suited to regional traffic.

City & Place Guide

Ottoman charm meets medieval bridges in Bosnia's most photogenic city.

Mostar is the cultural heart of Herzegovina, best known for Stari Most, its iconic 16th-century Ottoman bridge spanning the emerald Neretva River. Rebuilt after its deliberate destruction during the 1990s war, the bridge stands as a powerful symbol of reconciliation and resilience.

The old bazaar district, Kujundžiluk, lines the cobblestoned streets with copper workshops, carpet stalls, and traditional teahouses. Beyond the tourist core, Mostar reveals a city still healing, where bullet-scarred buildings stand alongside thriving cafes and a young, welcoming population.

Day trips to Blagaj Tekke, Kravice Waterfalls, and the ancient village of Počitelj make Mostar an excellent base for exploring the wider Herzegovina region.

  • •Stari Most — the iconic 16th-century Ottoman bridge and the city's defining symbol.
  • •Kujundžiluk Bazaar — lively old market street full of artisan craft shops and atmosphere.
  • •Blagaj Tekke — a serene 16th-century Dervish monastery set at the base of a dramatic cliff spring.
  • •Kravice Waterfalls — stunning cascading falls surrounded by lush greenery, ideal for swimming.
  • •Počitelj — a beautifully preserved hilltop medieval fortress village overlooking the Neretva valley.
  • •War Photo Exhibition — sobering documentary photography capturing the 1990s conflict in former Yugoslavia.

Getting around: Mostar's compact old town is easily walkable, but taxis are cheap and widely available for longer trips. Intercity buses connect Mostar to Sarajevo, Split, and Dubrovnik regularly, and the scenic train line to Sarajevo is a memorable journey worth taking. There is no local rideshare app widely in use; agree on taxi fares before departing.

Best time: Late spring (April–June) and early autumn (September–October) offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and ideal conditions for sightseeing and swimming.

Local food: Try ćevapi (grilled minced meat in flatbread), burek (flaky meat or cheese pastry), tender slow-cooked lamb, and finish with baklava or a strong Bosnian coffee poured in a traditional džezva.
