Train to and from Mostar

There are not that many trains leaving from and arriving in Mostar, but a train ride is certainly a great experience given Herzegovina's amazing scenery. The trains are divided into several compartments and the tickets are still handwritten. The train to Sarajevo leaves twice a day, in the morning at 7.38 and in de evening at 18.40 and costs 9.90 KM one way. The ride is fantastic due to its amazing scenery during the trip as mentioned above. The trip takes about 2.5 hours. The train to Ploce on the Croatian coast also leaves twice a day, at 9.26 in the morning and 20.43 in the evening and costs 8.60 KM one way. Tickets can be bought at the ticket office in the train station, but if necessary tickets can also be bought directly from the conductor.
