About Getting to Mostar
The most scenic way to reach Mostar from Sarajevo is by Talgo train, which takes a little under two hours and runs twice a day in each direction, following the Neretva past Jablanica lake and through the gorges. Buses run throughout the day and take about two and a half hours. Once in Mostar, Blagaj, Počitelj and the Kravice waterfalls are easiest by car, taxi or organised tour. Timetables change with the seasons, so check current times before you travel.
