Mostar International Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended…

The airport is in the village of Ortiješ, about 7-8 km south-east of the city, and is not served by any public bus: the only way to arrive or leave is by taxi, about 12 minutes for 15-22 KM. Since there is nowhere reliable to stay next to the runways, the choice almost always falls on the old town, around the Old Bridge, handy both for visiting the city and for booking the taxi back. Worth keeping in mind only for those arriving outside the scheduled taxi hours: it is always best to agree the transfer time with the hotel the day before.

Stari Grad, around the Old Bridge

City centre · About 12 minutes by taxi from Ortiješ airport (7-8 km, 15-22 KM); there is no public bus to the airport, a taxi or private transfer always has to be booked.

Best for: For anyone who wants the Old Bridge, the Crooked Bridge and the restaurants of the old town within walking distance of the room.

Pros

The Old Bridge, the Crooked Bridge and the bazaars of the old town within walking distance
The area with the highest concentration of restaurants and bars in the city

Cons

No bus to the airport: every trip requires a taxi booked in advance
Stone alleys that get very crowded and noisy during the busiest hours of the day in high season
