Journey beyond the cobblestones to explore city streets telling the tumultuous history of the past 150 years. From the Ottoman decline, World Wars, the rise and fall of Yugoslavia, and BiH's independence get an insider's perspective on Modern Mostar
Things to do The Making of Modern Mostar: A Century of Conflict & Transformation
Curious about Mostar's more recent history? Want to hear more about how the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and our modern state of Bosnia and Herzegovina evolved? Or perhaps you are wondering how the wars of the last century (WWI, WWII, and recent wars of the 1990s) impacted and shaped the development of our beautiful city and region, the scars of which can still be seen on our landscape?
Join us for Sheva's Making of Modern Mostar Free Walking Tour, focusing upon the last 150 years of history - a time period that was equally transformative and tumultuous. The tour will pick up from where the cobblestone of Old Town ends...and continue our explorations together through the areas developed over the last century.
Learn about our recent history, leading up to the socio-political context of today, from the perspective of a locally certified guide who has both an incredible foundation of knowledge, but also the first hand experience of one who has lived much of this history. Understand the complicated events which placed BiH on the headlines of global media in the 90s and gain an insiders perspective to help humanize and make sense of our history.
