A miracle, no matter your level of cynicism. Međugorje might just be the most visited destination in Bosnia & Herzegovina, but that is the power of a major Catholic pilgrimage sight. It was here in 1981 that a group of children came across an apparition of the Virgin Mary, transforming a village of dying old people into a multi-million Euro tourist destination. Even if you aren’t interested in Catholicism, Međugorje makes for fascinating day trip, giving visitors an insight into what makes others tick. The Pope isn’t overly interested in the whole thing, but that’s his problem. Međugorje is 26km southwest of Mostar, although all you really need to do is follow the signs.
