Working Remotely at Code Hub Mostar: a Free, First-Class Coworking Space

October 27, 2020October 27, 2020Bosnia, Europe, Travel BigBody 2 Comments

If you’ve checked out my guide on things to do in Mostar, then you know that I was blown away with just how much there is to do in Bosnia and Herzegovina and considered it THE highlight of my six month Europe stint. From the bustling Old Town and dichotomy of East meets West, to the picturesque landscapes and nature, all the way to the resilient and welcoming Bosnian people, Mostar is a city of multitudes that is sure to inspire and humble at the same time.

For Big Body (me) to seriously consider living in a city or country, I not only need great beer and coffee, but I also need a quality spot to work from. Mostar has all three. Cue Code Hub Mostar – a free (until February 2022) well equipped, sleek, hospitable coworking space located a stone’s throw away from Mostar’s Old Town.

Below, I walk you through what made my two weeks working out of Code Hub Mostar so memorable, why it is one of the best coworking spaces I’ve come across during my travels, and what you can expect when grinding out that 9 to 5 workload there.

Mostar Travel Itinerary: Things to Do in Mostar

Look, I know what you are thinking. I’ll head to Mostar, Bosnia for one or two days, get a feel for the city, eat some great food, see the sights, and then head back to Dubrovnik or Sarajevo and continue with my trip. I can assure you that Mostar is not a one or two day trip. It truly is one of the most underrated cities I’ve been to and I would recommend anyone considering a trip to stay at least five days to one week.

I spent nearly two weeks in Mostar during my time in the Balkans (I was posted up in Split, Croatia for the bulk of it), and found myself discovering something new every day. From delicious cevapis and burek, to pristine waterfalls and monasteries, to historic Ottoman bridges, minarets and mosques, Mostar is a clash of cultures set to make you truly feel that you are at the intersection of where East meets West.

I do understand however that most people are making a short trip to Mostar from Dubrovnik or Sarajevo and likely want a concise and practical itinerary, so I have compiled a 2-3 day itinerary with my favorite things to do (and eat) in Mostar. I would recommend actually spreading everything out over three days, but I think everything can be completed in two.

Split to Mostar Bus: What You Can Expect

I’m on a bit of a roll with writing bus travel posts, so I might as well continue. It can help ease your mind when travelling, knowing exactly what you can expect when crossing into a new country. Mostar, Bosnia is one of the most underrated cities I have ever been to, so this trip is a must for anyone travelling through Croatia (or the Balkans in general). Luckily, the Split to Mostar bus (or Dubrovnik to Mostar bus) is extremely efficient, comfy, and clean, so there are no excuses for not seeing this incredible city.

Taking the bus from Split to Mostar (Bosnia) is extremely painless, and I’m disappointed in myself that I didn’t realize just how close Bosnia actually was (hint: very close).
