A souvenir photo at the Stari Most in Mostar.
MomentoSnap is installed in the Stari Most old town district in Mostar, right in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site on the banks of the Neretva. Step in front of the booth and the rebuilt Ottoman stone arch - one of the most recognisable bridges in the world - sits framed behind you over the turquoise river. Touch the screen, pose, pay, and walk away with a printed keepsake plus a free high-resolution digital copy on your phone - all in about fifteen seconds, no operator, no queue, no app to install.
- Address
- Stari Most old town, west bank of the Neretva near the Stari Most bridge, Mostar 88000, Bosnia & Herzegovina
- Open
- Every day, all year round. The booth itself runs 24/7 - you can take a photo at first light or under the night illumination of the bridge. The old town is accessible on foot at all hours.
How to find it
From the city centre, follow the main pedestrian street south through the Kujundžiluk bazaar toward the Neretva. The booth is positioned on the west bank of the river close to the bridge approach - you'll see the arch before you see the booth, and the booth shortly after.
By car from Dubrovnik: take the M17 highway north through the Neretva valley, about 2.5 hours from Dubrovnik or Split. Parking is available at several car parks near the old town; from the nearest, it's a five-minute walk down to the river.
From Sarajevo: roughly 2.5 hours south on the M17. Buses run regularly from Sarajevo and Dubrovnik - the bus station is about a fifteen-minute walk from the old bridge, or a short taxi ride.
Best time to come
Late afternoon. The Neretva turns from green to copper and the limestone of the bridge catches the last light in a way no camera filter can replicate. Sunrise is quieter - you'll often have the bridge approach to yourself - and the early mist over the river makes for a photograph that looks nothing like the standard postcard. The booth handles full Herzegovinian summer sun and winter rain without a problem.

While you're here
The Stari Most old town rewards a slow afternoon. Once you have the photo, walk both banks and give yourself time to find the quieter corners.
Kujundžiluk bazaar
2 min walk from the boothThe cobbled Ottoman-era coppersmiths' lane east of the bridge. Craft families have been here for generations - the metalwork and the light at the eastern end are both worth a slow walk.
Koski Mehmed-Paša Mosque & minaret
3 min walk east of the bridgeA small Ottoman mosque with a climbable minaret - the only viewpoint in Mostar where the bridge, river, rooftops, and Hum hill all line up at once.
Kriva ćuprija (Crooked Bridge)
5 min walk upstreamBuilt in 1558, about thirty years before Stari Most, as a practice run by the same Ottoman engineers. Rarely crowded and equally photogenic from the river path.
Blagaj & Vrelo Bune
~12 km south of Mostar, 20 min by carA 16th-century Dervish tekke built over the spring of the Buna river where it emerges from a cliff face. One of the most striking spots in Herzegovina.
About Stari Most
Stari Most - the Old Bridge - was built in 1566 by the Ottoman architect Mimar Hayruddin and stood for 427 years as the widest single-span stone arch in the world at the time of its construction. The bridge was deliberately destroyed in November 1993 during the Bosnian War, collapsing into the Neretva after being hit by tank fire. Its reconstruction - using stone quarried from the same local quarries and techniques drawn from the original builders' methods - was completed in 2004. The rebuilt bridge and the historic old town on both banks were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site the same year. Today Mostar is famous not only for the bridge itself but for the Mostari, a brotherhood of divers who have been jumping from the 21-metre arch into the Neretva since the Ottoman era - a tradition that survived the war and continues every summer.
Frequently asked
Where exactly is the MomentoSnap booth in Mostar?
On the west bank of the Neretva in the Stari Most old town, close to the bridge approach. If you're walking the Kujundžiluk bazaar toward the river, you'll pass the booth before you reach the bridge itself.
Do I need to pay separately for the photo booth?
Yes. The old town is free to walk into; the booth is paid on the spot by coin or contactless card. One photo includes both a printed 4×6 copy and a free digital download via QR - no separate charge for the digital.
Can I take a group photo with the bridge in the background?
Yes. The booth is positioned so that a group of up to about six people fits comfortably with the Stari Most arch and the Neretva visible behind them. Tighter groups get more of the bridge; wider groups get more of the river and the old town.
Is the booth open year-round, even in winter?
Yes. The booth runs 24/7 all year. Mostar's old town is open and walkable in every season - winter is actually one of the quietest and most photogenic times, with far fewer people on the bridge approach.
Is the print included in the price, or just digital?
Both are included. Every photo gives you a printed 4×6 keepsake on glossy water-resistant paper, plus a free high-resolution digital copy via a unique QR code on the print.
Can I watch the bridge divers from near the booth?
The divers jump from the top of Stari Most from spring through autumn, usually when a sufficient crowd has gathered and donated to their collection hat. From the booth area on the west bank you can see the bridge clearly - the best river-level view of the dive is from the small stone platforms below the café strip, reached by the steps marked 'Hamam'.
