Itinerary
Departure from Sarajevo
Mostar and Medjugorje tour starts early in the morning with a scenic drive through the mountains and river valleys of Herzegovina. As you travel south, your guide will share fascinating stories about Bosnia and Herzegovina’s history, culture, and the unique blend of East and West that defines this region.
1st Stop: Konjic – The Old Stone Bridge
Our first stop is Konjic, a charming town located on the banks of the Neretva River. Known for its Old Stone Bridge, built in 1682, Konjic was once a key trading hub connecting Sarajevo with the Adriatic coast. The bridge was destroyed during World War II but beautifully reconstructed in 2009, restoring its Ottoman charm.
Here you can enjoy traditional Bosnian coffee while admiring the stunning panorama of the river and its historic architecture — a perfect start to your Mostar and Medjugorje day trip.
2nd Stop: Jablanica – The WWII Bridge
Continuing along the scenic Neretva Canyon, the next stop is Jablanica, a small town famous for its World War II bridge and the legendary Battle of the Neretva River. This event, regarded as one of the greatest military operations in the Balkans, has inspired numerous films and stories worldwide. The site features the remains of the destroyed bridge, now serving as a monument to the Partisan resistance during World War II.
3rd Stop: Medjugorje – Heaven & Earth
The tour then continues south to Medjugorje, one of the most spiritual and peaceful places in Europe. Since 1981, this small Herzegovinian village has become one of the world’s most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites, attracting millions of visitors each year. Many pilgrims describe Medjugorje as “a place where Heaven touches the Earth.”
You’ll visit St. James’s Church, the spiritual heart of the town, where Mass is held in several languages daily. The tour also includes a visit to the bronze Statue of the Risen Christ and time for reflection and prayer.
The highlight of the visit is Apparition Hill (Podbrdo) — the sacred place where the Virgin Mary is said to have first appeared. Along the rocky path, wooden crosses mark the stations of the Virgin’s messages of peace, and at the top stands the statue of Our Lady of Medjugorje. This peaceful site offers moments of quiet prayer and stunning views over the Herzegovinian landscape.
4th Stop: Mostar – The City of the Famous Old Bridge
After visiting Medjugorje, the Mostar and Medjugorje tour continues north to Mostar, the historical and cultural capital of Herzegovina. Nestled in the valley of the Neretva River, Mostar is a city of contrasts — East and West, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian influences, tradition and modern life.
The main attraction is the Old Bridge (Stari Most), built in 1566 by the Ottoman architect Hayruddin. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Bosnia’s most iconic landmarks, symbolising unity and resilience. From the bridge, you’ll often see brave local divers jumping into the turquoise Neretva — a tradition that dates back centuries.
You’ll also visit the Crooked Bridge, believed to be the prototype for the Old Bridge, and the Koski Mehmed-Pasha Mosque, where you can climb the minaret for the best panoramic view of the Old Town. Other highlights include the Old Bazaar with its cobbled streets and the Hamam Turkish Bath, one of the last surviving examples of Ottoman architecture in Herzegovina.
After exploring, you’ll have free time to enjoy Mostar at your own pace — walk along the riverside, shop for souvenirs, or try local specialities like cevapi, burek, or Turkish coffee in one of the cosy cafés overlooking the bridge.
Return to Sarajevo
After a full day of exploration, history, and spirituality, the Mostar and Medjugorje tour ends with a comfortable drive back to Sarajevo. On the return journey, you’ll have time to reflect on the diversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina — from Ottoman bridges and WWII monuments to one of the most sacred Christian pilgrimage sites in Europe.

This tour was so amazing and you should definitely book it! The guide Vildan was super lovely and helpful and gave lots of info. I was travelling on my own and was made to feel at ease. I was picked up from my place (outside of the Old Town) and dropped back, and water and a sandwich was provided so I felt very looked after. All of the stops were just beautiful and must-sees, I had such a great day. Thank you!!

Edin was great and respectful to be able to accommodate it with Nidal in a last minute tour guide. They were very patient with us and trying to accommodate us with everything we wanted to see. Nidal was a very passionate, kind and respectful guide and drove us to all our stops. He even climbed with us to see the Virgin of Medjugorje. He showed us a lot of local places and was an amazing guide.
