Dubrovnik to Bosnia

Hi All

I%26#39;m planning a trip to Croatia this summer which includes several days in Dubrovnik. Since the border with Bosnia is so close, we thought we could include a day trip there. What is there to see around in that region and does anyone have an idea of how long it takes, info about border crossing (we are both American) and know if there are buses or trains that are in the area?

Thanks!

Also, there are no trains in Dubrovnik.

From Dubrovnik you can take only a bus or taxi to Bosnia but I think one day isn%26#39;t enough, but if you tell me where in Bosnia you want to go I will help you more

Although you can take a taxi, I%26#39;d suggest a bus.

There is lots to see in the region, but since you have only a day, I%26#39;d go for one of the Herzegovina jewels.

My first choice would be Mostar and if you can, Blagaj and Pocitelj too. The ride to Mostar usually takes 2-3 hours, depending on the border (sometimes it%26#39;s jammed with cars crossing, but usually only from B%26amp;H to Croatia). I think travel agencies in Dubrovnik also offer trips to Medjugorje (if you%26#39;re interested into religious trip) and Hutovo blato - nature reserve or maybe even Kravice waterfall (if you%26#39;re a nature fan). Another interesting destination would be Stolac (old Turkish architecture, stecaks) and/or Vjetrenica cave, but I%26#39;m not sure if these are offered by travel agencies.

In my opinion all other places are too far to be worth the trouble.

I hope this trip will inspire you to visit B%26amp;H again and for a longer period of time. :)

Jasmina
