Sarajevo to Mostar
The two-hour train journey between Bosnia's quirky capital and its tourist honeypot, charming Mostar, is breathtaking, winding beneath green tiny mountains and craggy cliffs as it follows the emerald Neretva river.
You'll arrive in Mostar, one of CNN Travel's favorite tiny European towns, just upstream from the famed bridge, which was erected by the Ottomans before being destroyed by Croat forces in 1993 and rebuilt stone for stone in 2004. (Mostar is the country's fifth-largest city, located on the Neretva River. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva in medieval times. The Old Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site erected by the Ottomans in the 16th century and regarded an excellent piece of Islamic architecture in the Balkans, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited attractions.)
