By plane
Cheap flights to Sarajevo have started! Cheap flights (tens of
Euros including taxes) to or from Sarajevo, Split or Dubrovnik can be
found with Skyscanner. The
cheapest chairs you can find by choosing e.g. English, one-way tickets
and then keeping the search as broad as possible, using "everywhere"
and "whole year", then narrowing your search. To use "everywhere" as
departure (e.g. to find out from which countries you can fly cheap to a
certain destination), search for flights from that destination to
"everywhere". A budget return ticket consists simply of two budget
one-way tickets, so you can also arrive at e.g. Sarajevo, but depart
from e.g. Split. Since normal flight companies have started also
with cheap tickets, one has to look also at sites like Atp. From Sarajevo Airport you can take
a
bus and switch on the main road to a tram to the bus and train station
in the middle of the city - the real "city centre" is at the eastern
part of Sarajevo. From Split Airport run airport buses to the
port/bus/train station in the city centre. |

By train
Few people know, but the parish of Medjugorje has a train station
at Surmanci, on the train line from Sarajevo to Ploče. This
is one of the most beautiful train lines of the Balkan, travelling
through mountainous regions alongside the Neretva river through the
Neretva valley.The timetable can be found through the travel
planner of Die Bahn, the German Railways, they have English pages.
From Sarajevo, Surmanci is four stops after Mostar, one stop before
Capljina. Few people know also that Ploče has a combined
bus/train station/airport, but the airport is not developed for
Medjugorje. If you want to travel by train from Zagreb, By train to Medjugorje (only
in Dutch so far) is an adventurous travel report of a cheap flight to
Zagreb and a 10 hour train trip from Zagreb all through
Bosnia-Hercegovina to Medjugorje. In the summer of 2009 a train leaves
at 6.18 PM from Sarajevo to Ploče. |

By bus
Eurolines operates
international buses to Croatia and Bosnia. From Sarajevo, Split or
Dubrovnik it is three hours by regional bus (from Sarajevo also by
train) to Medjugorje for a few Euros. There is at least one bus
directly from these cities to Medjugorje a day. E.g. In the summer of
2009 a direct bus leaves Sarajevo for Medjugorje at 4.45 PM, stopping
in Mostar at the Muslim train/bus station and then at the Croatian
bus station, arriving before sunset in Medjugorje. But often a
quicker way to travel is to take a regional bus to a city close to
Medjugorje and then take a bus from there to Medjugorje. For
example, from Sarajevo to Mostar the buses go every hour on the hour.
And from Mostar to Medjugorje there are 10 or so buses daily: 4 or so
from the Muslim train+bus station and 6 or so from the newly rebuilt
Croat bus station. If you have to travel from the Muslim station in
east Mostar to the Croat bus station in west Mostar: it is a 2 km walk
over the Neretva river, crossing the former front line (Boulevard).
From Split or Dubrovnik the buses run at least every hour to Ploče,
from Ploče buses (or train) run several
times a day to Medjugorje. |

Travel tip
Since cheap flights to Sarajevo have started, I advise to take a cheap
flight to Sarajevo, have a beautiful train ride to Medjugorje and then have
yourself
picked
up
in
Surmanci,
5
km
from
the
church,
by
car
by
your
pension
keeper
of
Medjugorje. Remember that sunset is early in
Bosnia-Hercegovina. Surmanci has no waiting room, buses or taxis.
Capljina, one station further, 16 km from Medjugorje, has a large
waiting room, café outside and some buses and taxis. The flight
departure times from e.g. Cologne to Sarajevo are not so very early, so
less people have to spend a night sleeping in e.g. Cologne and more
people can travel in one day to Medjugorje. |
