Medjugorje is located in the mountains between Mostar and Croatia. The small town is incredibly popular with Catholic pilgrims - millions of pilgrims have visited the site since 1981, when a small group of young people in the village began reporting seeing visions of the Virgin Mary on a nearby hillside.

Hotels and guest houses have come and the street in the centre are lined with cafes and souvenir stands. The church offers masses in a number of different languages, and there are prayer services there every evening.

Even with all the new hotels and guest houses, accommodations in Medjugorje are usually full. Most pilgrims travel to the shrine as part of a group tour, and most fly into Split or Dubrovnik in Croatia, and then travel overland into Bosnia and Herzegovina by bus.

You just have to come and visit the church, the hill...it´s great place for meditation and seeking of inner peace.
