Medjugorje Full-Day Trip from Dubrovnik

When you arrive, enjoy a walking tour with your guide, who will tell you the history of this religious site, and share other interesting facts of the area.
The legend says that in 1981 the Virgin Mary appeared to six children on a hillside in Medjugorje. Since then, the small, rural town has become one of the most important European pilgrimage sites. More than one million people from all over the world come here every year to pray.
Next, visit the Apparition Hill, where Our Lady is said to have appeared. The climb is a bit challenging, but you will be rewarded by reaching the impressive sky-high cross on the hilltop.
