Old Bazar Kujundziluk, Mostar

Old Bazar Kujundziluk, Mostar (must see)

The Old Bazaar Kujundžiluk has been in business since the 16th century, dating back to the Ottoman era when it served as the bustling commercial heart of the city. At its peak, more than 500 workshops and tradespeople operated here, and the street still preserves much of its historic character and charm.

Just a few steps from the Old Bridge, Kujundžiluk winds its way through a car-free area of the Old Town. Traditional shops line the cobbled street, where artisans sell handcrafted items from small, one-room boutiques. Here, visitors can find copperware, carpets, scarves, jewellery, clothing, ceramics, and decorative hookahs, along with stalls offering spices and other local crafts. Lively cafés and restaurants add to the atmosphere, making it a bustling place to stroll, shop, and sample local flavours.

Beyond the classic souvenirs, the bazaar also features antique and curiosity stalls selling vintage photos, books, coins, and even military memorabilia such as helmets and cartridge casings. You may also spot local coppersmiths engraving designs by hand — a craft for which this market has long been known. Bargaining is common, and many vendors expect a bit of friendly haggling.
