Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. During the Ottoman era, Mostar was named after the bridge keepers who guarded the Stari Most over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks and is considered an exemplary piece of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.

The country has the last jungle in Europe in Perućica. The Perućica forest is not massive but has many trees that are over 300 years old, and in many places, it is inaccessible to humans due to the density of flora and fauna.
The bridge in Mostar is one of the country's most recognizable landmarks. It is a 16th-century Ottoman bridge that stood for 427 years until it was ruined during the war in 1993. The bridge was reconstructed and opened in 2004.
