Medjugorje Tourist Information

Medjugorje is the Shrine of Our Lady located among the hills in the southern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It’s always been a safe place to go. According to six teenagers the Blessed Mother appeared in this small village on June 24th 1981 on a hillside and since then She appears every single day, even today. She introduced herself as the Queen of Peace, and peace was indeed her main message To date over 15 million people from all over the world have visited this place. It changed the lives of all those who have pilgrimage. When Our Lady appeared in Medjugorje, many people from all over the world wanted to come and feel Her spirit. The messages She gave to the visionaries were very simple and easy to understand: pray, hope, love, read the Holy Bible, Attend the holy mass, confess and fast Since Her first apparition many miracles have happened in Medjugorje. Although the 'official' church is still suspicious about Medjugorje and the visions of the young teenagers over 20 years ago, priests, monks, believers, and just those curious of the visions have flocked to our humble mountain town. Tourism was not known at all in this part of country.

Mostar, with its famous Old Bridge and oriental center of town was the only popular destination for tourists who were coming from Sarajevo, Split or Dubrovnik on a one-day tour. In 1981 there were not more than 500 people living in Medjugorje. There were no proper municipal services such as telephone, electricity, water supply, asphalt roads etc. There were no hotels, restaurants, shops, or coffee bars. It was quite literally in the middle of nowhere. Today, 20 years later, Medjugorje is a different place. Medjugorje became a real tourist paradise for believers. There are 15,000 beds in hotels and private pensions, many restaurants, souvenirs shops, travel agencies, and professional guides in all major languages.
