Day Trips from Mostar

November 7, 2026

Mostar makes a good base for Herzegovina. Most of the classic trips are within 40 km, and a few are reachable on the city’s own buses. Below, each trip has a distance, a way to get there and what it costs where the price is known. Money is in convertible marks (KM).

Blagaj (12 km, half day)

The dervish house (tekke) at Blagaj sits at the foot of a cliff, beside the cave where the Buna river comes out of the ground. It is one of the largest karst springs in Europe. Mostar Bus lines 10 and 12 run to Blagaj in about 25 to 30 minutes; check the timetable at mostarbus.ba before you go. Looking at the spring and the riverbank is free. Entry to the tekke is about 10 KM, and visitors dress modestly. In the warm months, small boats take people a short way into the cave mouth for a few marks.

Počitelj (30 km, half day)

This walled Ottoman town climbs a steep hill above the Neretva, on the road towards Čapljina. At the top stand the citadel keep, dating from the late 14th century, and the Gavran-kapetan tower. Below them is the Hajji Alija Mosque of 1562 to 1563, damaged in 1993 and since restored. The lanes are steep and uneven, so wear proper shoes and go early in summer.

Kravica waterfalls (40 km, half to full day)

Near Ljubuški, the Trebižat river drops about 28 m in a curve of falls around a pool. Adults pay 20 KM all year and children under 7 go free; parking costs 3 KM per started hour (kravica.ba ). Swimming is at your own risk in summer and the park warns of falling rock from the travertine. Most people come by car, taxi or tour.

Radimlja (about 40 km, half day)

Just outside Stolac, Radimlja is a field of carved medieval tombstones called stećci, part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing since 2016. A 2017 count gave 133 stones, many carved with figures and patterns. There is a small entry fee.

Međugorje (about 25 km)

Međugorje is a Catholic pilgrimage village visited by large numbers of pilgrims. Mostar Bus line 48 runs there. Visit quietly and dress for church.

Konjic (about an hour north)

Konjic is the place for whitewater rafting on the upper Neretva: trips start at Glavatičevo, cover about 18 km and cost from 90 KM with Neretva Rafting, May to October. Konjic also holds ARK D-0, the Cold War bunker built for Tito, open for guided, pre-booked visits only.

Sarajevo by train

Two trains a day each way link Sarajevo and Čapljina via Mostar, about 2 hours between the two cities through the Neretva canyon. In the 2026 timetable they leave Sarajevo at 07:15 and 16:46, so a day in Sarajevo means an early start from Mostar and the late train back. Mostar times and fares are not published online: check zfbh.ba or the station, and use the bus as the fallback.
