No fare history for this route yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only — the price column will fill in as the scanner collects.

Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.
Weather read at the centre, 7 km from the airport (OMO): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.
A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. It is flagged rather than scored down, and crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

What Mostar is like
Mostar is a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Much of the city has been rebuilt and visitors might be surprised to see that this formerly war-torn city is a lively and beautiful destination once again, particularly the area within and around the old town. More on Wikivoyage
- Worth seeing
- The bridge is the highlight of Mostar and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main site in Mostar, if not Bosnia. More on Wikivoyage
- Worth doing
- Watch locals dive off the Old Bridge. Members of the Mostar Diving Club will dive off the bridge into the emerald green waters, but first they will try to collect some money from tourists. More on Wikivoyage
- Getting in
- Mostar Main (east) bus station (Autobuska stanica Mostar), Maršala Tita (on eastern part of Mostar, close to Carinski bridge and University of Dzemal Bijedic). The main transit terminal for buses and trains. More on Wikivoyage
- Staying safe
- As of 2022, the Mostar Bridge and all with tourists tightly packed places still attract the odd pickpocketers to rip off the unsuspected old lady, but probably not anyone reading this travel guide. More on Wikivoyage
