Međugorje is one of most visited tourist destinations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Religious tourism in Međugorje began developing after the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, occurring for the first time in 1981. Međugorje managed to retain its original charm of a shrine where the pilgrims really find peace in faith and conversation with God.
At the top of the hill Križevac there is a cross, built in 1933 for the 1900th anniversary of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The center of pilgrim gathering is in the Shrine of the Queen of Peace, how Međugorje is officially called.
After visiting Međugorje, many have experienced their own miracle healing or life changes. They say that the moment you step onto the soil of Međugorje you will feel an attraction to this place, the positive energy that the whole area, its inhabitants and visitors radiate with. Upon returning home, you will feel as if you really were a step closer to God.

The driver contacted us and moved the start time from 7am to 9am. He told us there were lots to see nearby. He was late picking us up the next day and then told us if we wanted to see anything more he would charge us 50 euros more a person . We declined to do any other stop. He then had an hour break when we were at Apparatuon Hill from noon till about 1 pm. When we got into town we only wanted to stay 30 minutes but he said we had to give him a long lunch break so he eventually agreed from 1.5 hour break to make it 1 hour. He was late back from that break so we could not leave till 2:30z. Needless to say we canceled our other Viator trips we could cancel.

We arrived in time to attend the English mass. We walked Apparation Hill and were able to have Masses said by visiting St James rectory. All Masses are said exactly one month from the day.
Tomi was very instrumental in helping us accomplish this in one day . He drove us from Dubrovnik to Medjugore and back. We enjoyed a great lunch together at a local cafe that had great food.
At his urging, we also stopped at Ston. We had a 12 hour day together.
He was very willing to stop anywhere.
This day in Medjugore was the highlight of my trip.
