Set within the historic Old Town area and in a refurbished traditional building is Wine & More. As the name might suggest, this spot is mainly a wine bar but also offers a selection of beers and other soft drinks. The bar is on the opposite side of the river to most of the other bars and restaurants, which makes it quieter and ideal for those looking for an option further off the beaten track.

If a less rigidly planned evening is on the cards, take a wander around the selection of bars and restaurants that overlook the Stari Most- all are pretty similar in quality and selection, and offer outstanding views of the bridge, which is lit up beautifully when darkness falls. The western bank of the river is the place to be, and maintains a lively atmosphere until late at night. There are plenty of spots to choose from, it’s just a case of finding somewhere that still has a spare table to look out over the bridge.
