Mostar & Medugorje Guided Tour
Description
Depending on where your accommodation is located, we'll either pick you up at your hotel in Dubrovnik at 7 am or we'll meet directly at the starting point. Once we're all gathered, we'll head west.
After crossing the Bosnian-Croatian border we'll make a short photo stop in Neum, the only coastal enclave in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The route will continue to one of the most iconic places of the Bosnian territory, the Old Bridge of Mostar. This bridge over the river Neretva dates back to the 16th century but was destroyed in the wars that ravaged the former Yugoslavia.
Today the rebuilt bridge is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As well as seeing this famous monument, you'll have some free time to explore Mostar, its famous Kujundziluk bazaar and the city's outstanding collection of mosques. You can also have lunch on your own and enjoy Bosnian gastronomy, where the Ottoman influence is present in many of its dishes.
During the afternoon, we'll head south to visit the Marian shrine of Medugorje. This Bosnian municipality is known for the apparitions that the faithful attribute to the Virgin Mary.
You'll have 45 minutes of free time to visit the sanctuary. Then we'll return to Dubrovnik around 7 pm.
Necessary documentation
Bosnia-Herzegovina is not part of the European Union or the Schengen zone, so you must show a valid national identity card or passport to enter the country.

Q - Is it possible to visit only Mostar even if we pay the same price?
A - No. You'll have to do the whole excursion.
