- Jun–Sep
- How long
- 1–3 days
- From Sarajevo
- ≈ 3.5 h by car
What to see

- Hutovo Blato nature park, a wetland for birds, inland

What to expect
Neum is a resort town built on a steep hillside, so most hotels and apartments have sea views but some walks to the beach are long. The water is calm and good for swimming from June to September.
Good to know
- Leaving or entering Neum by road means crossing the Croatian border; carry your passport.
- Inland, Hutovo Blato is one of the largest wetlands in the region and a stop for migrating birds.
Practical information
- Getting there
On the Adriatic coastal road between Split and Dubrovnik. Since 2022 the Pelješac Bridge lets Croatian traffic bypass Neum, so the town is quieter outside summer.
- Tickets
Beaches are free; hotels rent loungers and umbrellas.
- Parking
Hotel parking and paid public car parks in summer.
Prices and hours change. Check before you go.
Local tip: Prices are often lower than on the Croatian coast nearby. Book ahead for July and August.
