Does anyone know how long it takes to travel by car between Split and Mostar and Split and Sarajevo? If we only make it as far as Mostar, any recommendations on other towns or sites to visit?

I will take a guess and say the drive from Split to Mostar will be about three hours. I don%26#39;t know about Sarajevo since I have never been there. I think a good stop on the way to Mostar is the town of Medugorje. This is the place where the Virgin Mary has appeared to some Bosnian girls since the early 80%26#39;s. The town of Pocitelj is also a neat stop with an old Mosque and fortress overlooking the town and the Neretva River. Mostar is quite the place to stop. I just loved walking along the cobble stoned streets and checking into all the little shops along the way. The bridge connecting the two sides of Mostar is also a must see. Just neat to see all the cultural differences right before your eyes. Have a great trip!

Mostar - Sarajevo takes 2 hours. Pocitelj and Medjugorje are good recommandations. What is also beautiful -if you like nature - is Kravice waterfalls. Coming from Split, you first arive to the town of Ljubuski. From Ljubuski, it would be good to go to Mejugorje first. After Medjugorje, you backtrack to the intersection 6-7 kilometars and take a right turn to Kravice waterfalls. After that, you can go back to the main road and continue right to the town of Capljina (not much there). Cross the river Neretva, take a left turn towards Mostar and after 3 kilometers you are in Pocitelj. It is a nice litlle town, but there isn%26#39;t much to do there. After Pocitelj, you continue straight ahaed to Mostar. Another must-see is spring of river Buna in Blagaj. For this, you would have to turn right few kilometers before Mostar and drive for 8 kilometers. Well, these are all great places, so you can pick and choose. Happy trails!

Mostar to Sarajevo is 2 hrs by bus (often) or train (2 a day). You can catch local buses from Mostar to Blagaj and Pocitelj as well.

Split to mostar is probably 3 hours (I cant remember exactly) and probably another 2hrs to Sarajevo.
The drive betwwen Mostar and Sarajevo is worth it alone, it%26#39;s spectacular in places.
Ask the locals and ask in restaurants...Neretva, the river, is amazing in spring and summer.
