Mostar in February
Not the best time
Still pretty miserable weather-wise, but slightly warmer than January. The city feels sleepy and authentic without tour groups.
Weather
February stays cold with unpredictable weather swings - one day brings snow, the next mild sunshine. The Neretva runs high and fast from mountain snowmelt. Rain comes in short, sharp bursts rather than steady drizzle.

All Months
April through October gives you the best weather, but each season tells a different story. Spring brings wildflowers to the surrounding hills and fewer crowds, though some restaurants might have limited hours after the winter lull.
Summer means peak tourist season and temperatures hitting 35°C. The old town gets packed by 10am, but the Neretva River stays refreshingly cold for swimming. Evening strolls become magical when the bridge lights up and street musicians appear.
Fall might be perfect – warm days, cool nights, and autumn colors reflecting in the river. October can surprise you with swimming weather, and restaurant terraces stay open late into the evening.
Winter strips away the tourist veneer and shows you the real Mostar. Snow occasionally dusts the bridge, creating postcard scenes, but some guesthouses close and day trip options shrink. The upside? You'll have those Ottoman courtyards mostly to yourself, and locals have more time to chat.
