Bosnia and Herzegovina Stari Most from Pasha Mosque, Mostar
One of the most beautiful places to enjoy the view over the old town of Mostar is this one, located just behind the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque. The famous bridge called Stari Most in the centre is very easy to photograph from this perspective.
Stari Most is an iconic 16th-century Ottoman bridge spanning the Neretva River in the heart of Mostar. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a symbol of the city and offers stunning views of the turquoise river, surrounding old town, and historic architecture. The bridge’s elegant arch and lively surroundings make it a must-visit location for photography.

Photography Tips
It seems to be easier to be here during sunset because this place is kind of closed during the early morning. After all, it's a private place you can enter after you pay to visit the mosque. I asked the owner if I could enter this place very early in the morning, which seemed to be fine for him, but I would not recommend doing it without asking the day before.
If you take a long exposure of this spot I would also recommend you take a separate photo of the green moving parts, because they will get blurred if you try to get everything within a single exposure. But that depends on what's important for you.

Travel Information
This place is pretty easy to find. Just keep in mind that the entrance to the view costs 6 KM/person, which is around 3 Euros. This ensures though, that you won't have too many people over there and you should be able to photograph this view without any turmoil.
