Getting to Medjugorje
Medjugorje, in Herzegovina, is one of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites in Europe. It has no airport of its own, so pilgrims usually fly into a nearby airport and continue by private transfer, minibus or coach. Groups often book a van or minibus for the whole party.
Nearest airports
- Mostar Airport (OMO): about 30 minutes, seasonal flights
- Split Airport (SPU): about 2.5 hours, the busiest option
- Dubrovnik Airport (DBV): about 2.5 hours

Local rides for pilgrims
Local taxis take pilgrims to Apparition Hill (Podbrdo) and Cross Mountain (Križevac), and to nearby Čitluk. Day trips to Mostar, the Kravice waterfalls and Tihaljina are also popular between prayer programmes.
Tips
Medjugorje is very busy around the anniversary on 25 June and the Youth Festival in early August, so book transfers early. Bring your passport if you arrive through Croatia. Ask in advance whether your driver accepts cards.
Most companies listed below can also arrange the return trip to the airport on your last day, so you can book both directions with one driver and agree the full price in advance.
