From the train and bus station to Hotel Tere

Hotel Tere stands directly on Trg Ivana Krndelja, in the part of Mostar that serves as the city's main transport hub. The same square hosts the central bus station, the railway station and several taxi stands - which means that, however you arrive, reception is only a few dozen steps away.

For travellers with luggage this is decisive. There is no need for an extra transfer, no changing vehicles, no driving through the narrow streets of the old town. It is especially practical for families with children, older guests, and business travellers arriving at early-morning or late-evening times.

The square is flat, paved, with ramps and accessible kerbs. It is lit through the night and under video surveillance, so even late arrivals feel secure.

Mostar railway station is part of the Sarajevo–Mostar–Čapljina line, which runs several times a day. The journey from Sarajevo takes about two hours and is widely considered one of the most beautiful rail routes in the region - running through the Neretva canyon and dozens of tunnels and bridges.

When the train stops, the platform exit leads you straight into the main station building. Once you cross the waiting hall, you step out onto Trg Ivana Krndelja. Hotel Tere is visible to the left, recognisable by its façade and the sign above the entrance.

Total time from stepping off the train to reception, with luggage, rarely exceeds three minutes. The hotel lift covers every floor, so there is no need to carry suitcases up stairs.

Mostar's main bus station sits next to the railway station, sharing the same complex. It serves domestic lines (Sarajevo, Tuzla, Banja Luka, Trebinje, Neum) and international routes to Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, Slovenia, Germany and Austria.

Buses arrive at a covered platform with a direct exit to the square. Ticket counters and luggage storage operate during station hours. If you arrive on a night service, you can simply walk to the hotel with your bags - reception is open around the clock.

For departures we recommend buying tickets a day in advance during peak season. The hotel reception can help with timetable information and, if needed, call a taxi for more distant destinations.

From Sarajevo: follow the M-17 trunk road to Mostar, then the signs for the city centre. After crossing the bridge over the Neretva in the northern part of the city, keep right toward Trg Ivana Krndelja. The drive from Sarajevo takes between two and three hours depending on traffic.

From Split or Dubrovnik: the Kamensko and Doljani/Metković crossings are the most common options. Follow signs for Mostar centre; you enter the city from the west and approach the square via Stjepana Radića street.

The hotel has its own parking. The number of spaces is limited, especially during the summer season (July–August) and during conferences, so we recommend confirming a parking spot when you book your room. If full, reception can recommend the nearest public car parks within a 200-metre radius.

Mostar Airport (OMO) is about 6 kilometres from the city centre. Routes are seasonal and limited, so most guests use the airports in Sarajevo (SJJ, ~130 km), Split (SPU, ~150 km), Dubrovnik (DBV, ~140 km) or Tivat (TIV, ~200 km).

From Sarajevo and Split there are regular bus connections to Mostar. From Dubrovnik and Tivat, private transfers or a rental car are the most practical options. Reception can arrange a transfer from any of these airports with advance notice.

If you are arriving on a late flight, share your exact arrival time - reception will make sure someone is ready to greet you and help with luggage, even at late hours.

After checking in, you will receive a map of Mostar with key landmarks marked: the Old Bridge, Kujundžiluk, the Karađoz-bey Mosque, the Museum of Herzegovina, Spanski trg and Rondo. All are within a 10–20 minute easy walk.

Reception also offers a brief introduction to the city - recommendations for breakfast, dinner, riverside coffee spots and tips on what to avoid during peak hours. If you arrive late, you will get a list of places that stay open into the night.

For guests with limited mobility we have prepared dedicated routes that bypass the steep cobbled steps of the old bazaar and use the gentler western approach to the Old Bridge.

The most pleasant route from the hotel to the Old Bridge passes through Rondo, the city's main square with its fountain, then heads south along Maršala Tita street. The street is lively, lined with cafés, bookshops, patisseries and local boutiques.

After about ten minutes you enter the Kujundžiluk zone - a paved old bazaar with craftsmen, souvenir stalls and restaurants overlooking the Neretva. The bridge becomes visible near the end of the street, when the view opens toward the river.

The total walk is about 1.2 kilometres and, at a relaxed pace with photo stops, takes between 15 and 20 minutes. The route is flat as far as Kujundžiluk, where the cobbled descent toward the bridge begins.

Hotel Tere reception is open 24 hours and the staff speak Bosnian, English and German. In an emergency, the numbers 122 (police), 123 (fire) and 124 (ambulance) are valid throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Wi-Fi in the hotel is free and covers all rooms and common areas. For international calls we recommend a local SIM card (BH Telecom, m:tel, HT Eronet), available at kiosks and shops within 100 metres of the hotel.
