Visit Medjugorje on a Croatia holiday

Travellers looking for some memorable experiences during a Croatia holiday might want to pay a visit to the town of Medjugorje in the neighbouring country of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Located two hours north of Dubrovnik, the destination is an important religious site that attracts visitors from around the world.

According to the Dubrovnik Travel website, more than one million people visit the location every year to see the hillside where the Virgin Mary reportedly appeared to six children in 1981.

Medjugorje is a popular day-trip option for people visiting Dubrovnik, which is one of the leading Adriatic cruise ports.

Travellers planning a trip to Croatia can choose from a range of excursions and activities that will add a memorable element to their trip, such as a tour of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina and a walk in the Biokovo mountains.

Dubrovnik serves as the starting point of an Adriatic cruise route that includes stops in Korcula, Hvar, Trstenik, Sipan and other scenic destinations.
