“Dear children, in this special time of your effort to be all the closer to my Son, to His suffering, but also to His love with which He bore it, I desire to tell you that I am with you. I will help you to triumph over the errors and temptations with my grace. I will teach you love, love which wipes away all sins and makes you perfect, love which gives you the peace of my Son now and forever. Peace with you and in you because I am the Queen of Peace. Thank you.” (www.medjugorje.com)

“Dear children! In this time of grace, when nature also prepares to give the most beautiful colors of the year, I call you, little children, to open your hearts to God the Creator for Him to transform and mould you in His image, so that all the good which has fallen asleep in your hearts may awaken to a new life and a longing towards eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (www.medjugorje.hr)

Overview

Since 24th of June 1981, some children in a remote village of the former Yugoslavia claim to have apparitions of the Virgin Mary. These apparitions continue up to the present day. The Virgin calls for prayer, conversion, fasting, penance and peace. These apparitions are comparable with the apparitions of Lourdes, France (1858) and Fatima, Portugal (1917), which are approved by the catholic church. However,

Travel


Location
Where is Medjugorje?, by Google Maps. Google Maps has new very detailed satellite photos of Medjugorje! See the church, Hill of Apparitions (Podbrdo) and Mountain of the Cross (Krizevac).
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/busstation and then at the Croatian busstation, 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.
