Tour overview
Mostar and Medjugorje tour is a daily tour from Sarajevo to the most crucial city in Herzegovina – Mostar and one of the biggest Roman-catholic pilgrimage sites in Europe – Međugorje.
This tour starts in the morning from Sarajevo and continues to the beautiful Herzegovina region.
On our way to Mostar and Medjugorje, we will stop in Konjic – a small but beautiful town famous for its Ottoman-era bridge. In Konjic, we can drink Bosnian coffee in a lovely place with an amazing panorama of the Neretva River.
Later on, we are heading to Mostar. Mostar is a city of stone on stone, the historical, political, scientific and cultural centre of Herzegovina that lies at the foot of the slopes of Velez Mountain, in the Neretva River valley. In Mostar, you will see the famous UNESCO Old Bridge of Mostar and some interesting landmarks of this city.
The next destination is Medjugorje – an important catholic pilgrimage site where the Virgin Mary appeared in 1981 for the first time. By visiting Apparition Hill and St. James Church, you will understand why Medjugorje is considered to be one of the most spiritual places on earth.

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.

The places we visited were very beautiful and truly reflected the unique characteristics of Bosnia. Ms. Arna was very helpful in assisting us to find good restaurants with reasonable prices, and she also helped us shop for daily necessities. In addition, we gained a lot of interesting historical knowledge from her. Although the tourist sites were very large, with Ms. Arna’s guidance it felt as though we had explored the entire area. She was also very flexible and understanding of our children’s wishes to spend extra time at certain locations. Overall, I confidently give this agency an 11/10.

I would like to give a shout out to our tour drivers: Enis, Almeer, Taharek and Harris for keeping us safe on the road – especially on the days where it was extremely foggy in the evenings and visibility was zilch!
A special shout out to the knowledgable tour guides: Enis, Almeer, Vildan and Elma.
You made the tours thoroughly enjoyable and interesting. Your interactions with each & every one of us was very friendly & professional.
