Neum

Neum is Bosnia and Herzegovina's only access to the Adriatic Sea, carving out a 24-kilometer stretch along the coastline between two parts of Croatia. The town is built in tiers on steep hillsides, granting almost every hotel and balcony a remarkable view of the blue waters. Because it is sheltered by the Pelješac Peninsula, the bay’s waters are exceptionally calm and warm, making it a popular choice for families. The Mediterranean climate ensures long, hot summers and mild, pleasant winters. Visitors are often drawn to Neum by its affordability, as prices for accommodation and dining are significantly lower than in neighboring Croatia. The local culinary scene features a mix of fresh seafood and traditional Herzegovinian grilled dishes, complemented by regional wines. Neum also serves as an excellent base for regional exploration; major sites like Dubrovnik, Mostar, and the Kravica Waterfalls are all within an hour's drive. Since the completion of the Pelješac Bridge, the town has become more peaceful as through-traffic has decreased, allowing tourists to fully enjoy the coastal promenade and various water sports.
