Medjugorje tours and things to do

Morning quiet settles over St James Church, the square fills with soft voices before Mass, and stony paths climb to Apparition Hill and Križevac. Rivers, waterfalls and stone towns sit a short drive away, so you can balance reflection with simple nature time.

Top things to do in Medjugorje

Top story from Medjugorje
Begin at St James for a calm hour in the square. Follow the stony route to Apparition Hill and pause at simple plaques along the way.

Later, climb Križevac for a wide view over red roofs and vineyards, then, if the day is warm, add Kravica for emerald pools and willow shade. A short loop to Počitelj brings stone lanes and a sunset tower view.

Read more in our Kravica Waterfalls guide and our Počitelj fortress guide. We keep the pace unhurried and respectful throughout.
