Mostar Street Art & Graffiti Tour
Description
This tour is led by a local artist who is also a musician and architect, living in the heart of Mostar's street art scene. With deep roots in the creative community, he offers more than just insight - he shares lived experience. During the mural projects in his own neighborhood, he spent time with fellow artists, exchanging stories and ideas in between painting sessions. Guests won't just see murals — they'll hear the stories behind them. This is not just a tour — it's an invitation into Mostar's living, breathing street culture.

Itinerary
Echoes of Elegance and Decay One of Mostar’s architectural gems, Hotel Neretva has recently been restored to reflect its original Austro-Hungarian elegance. Once left in ruins after the war, it stood for years as a symbol of destruction — often surrounded by raw graffiti and informal street art.
As you stand in front of these facades, you’ll hear stories about the artists behind them, the creative process, and what it means to live among this art every day — including personal memories from when these murals were being painted, and the time we spent with the artists during their breaks.
OKC Abrašević is not just a venue — it’s a living cultural hub. Surrounded by raw urban textures and experimental murals, this space has long been a meeting point for young creatives, activists, and artists.
The elegant Austro-Hungarian Mostar Gymnasium reflects the city’s multicultural past, while nearby graffiti and stencils show how young artists reclaim the space today. You’ll also see the Monument to the Spanish Fighters and hear how this area evolved — from wartime division to a space of expression, protest, and quiet reflection.

Best experience in Mostar. The guide was friendly, nice and full of joy. Definitely recommend 👌🏻
Thank you so much for choosing us for art tour. 🩶
An amazing tour. Mak was very knowledgeable, friendly, and speaks perfect English, which made everything easy to understand and really enjoyable - highly recommended!
Thank you Gocy so much. It was a pleasure for us as well. 🧡
I had booked this street art tour, and an old town private walking tour for the same day. When I met my guide, Mak, turns out it was only me on both tours, and so we set off for several hours of fascinating insight into local history, culture, street art, and so much more. As he lives in the neighborhood where many of the street art pieces are located, Mak has met several of the artists and clearly has a deep appreciation for this style of art. I also gained more context and nuance around the war, as well as the lived experience in post-Communist Herzegovina, and we veered into discussion around politics, education, cost of living and so much more about our two countries. Truly, this tour and my experience talking to Mak was the highlight of my time in BiH, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Mak!!
Wow highlight of my Mostar trip. I would super highly recommend. You will learn the history behind each piece of art. Feel like you are in the artist mind and the soul of Bosnia. Just a super worthwhile tour. If you only do one thing in Mostar besides old town. Don’t miss this.

A unique and inspiring street art walk in Šantićeva street with Mak – a local musician, architect and resident of the area with wall paintings. He beautifully conveys the neighborhood’s history, stories and soul through the colorful wall paintings. More than just a tour – it’s a real journey into the heart of Mostar. Recommended on the warmest!
