🌍 Mostar, Bosnia｜The UNESCO Town My Friends Keep Asking About!

📍 Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegovina ✅ Visa-free gem—pack your bags and go! ✅ Entire town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, where ancient monuments and multicultural charm intertwine! 📝 The Story Mostar’s iconic Old Bridge (Stari Most), built in 1566, was deliberately destroyed during the 1993 civil war and rebuilt by 2004. For centuries, Croats (Catholic) lived west of the bridge, while Bosniaks (Muslim) lived east—creating a unique blend of Orthodox, Christian, and Islamic cultures, alongside architecture echoing Western Europe, Greece, and the Middle East. 💖 Don’t Miss 🔘 Bridge Jumping: Watch daredevils leap from the 20m-high arch!
