'''Mostar''' is a city in southwest [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]]. It boasts a beautifully preserved and reconstructed Ottoman Town Centre, as well as several large-scale monuments (one to Communism, for example). Because it was a central point of the Yugoslavian war, Mostar is still subject to religious difference. The eastern side and the old town is unofficially Muslim-Bosnian, and the western and central part of town is Croatian. Most Croats don't visit the Muslim areas and vice versa. Try not bringing this up when in conversation with locals, as it is a very touchy subject that might bring about strange situations.* [[User:MaxHermens]] has heard stories of Croats not accepting Bosnian Marks, but insisting on trading with the Croatian Crown.

== Hitchhiking out ==
Another option might be taking a taxi to ''Buna'', the next village. It's only about 5 KM and there is a perfect hitchhiking spot right at the main road.
=== Northeast towards [[Sarajevo]] ===
It's best to walk north on the east side of the river, and pass by the train station. Stand on any free patch of road after that with a sign.
* You can also decide to keep on walking until you reach the south-north-ringroad, but there aren't that many good places for cars to stop here.
