A Pilgrimage Beyond the Ordinary

Embark on a truly unique pilgrimage with Medjugorje trips from Dubrovnik, offering an experience that's far beyond your usual day tours. Picture this: a serene journey through charming landscapes that gently unfurl as you cross into Bosnia and Herzegovina, all culminating in the atmospheric village of Medjugorje. Here, pilgrims from all corners of the globe gather, drawn by the profound spiritual energy tied to the reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary since 1981. On this guided trip, you'll visit the iconic St. James Church, a beacon of architectural grace and faith.

• The trail is not physically demanding but expect a few steep spots; it's easy enough for most aged pilgrims.
• Best time to visit is spring to early autumn when the landscape blooms and the weather sings.
• Don't forget your passport - border crossing from Croatia to Bosnia requires it.
