Neum is {{convert|47|km|mi|abbr=on}} northwest of [[Dubrovnik]], {{convert|50|km|mi|abbr=on}} south of [[Mostar]], and {{convert|122|km|mi|abbr=on}} southwest of [[Sarajevo]], the country's capital. 

The Bosnia and Herzegovina coastal strip of Neum cuts off the southernmost Croatian [[exclave]] from the rest of [[Croatia]]. This is a result of the [[Treaty of Karlowitz]] of 1699. Since 1991 and the [[breakup of Yugoslavia]], the border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Neum region have been international borders.<ref name="ekonsultacije.gov.ba">{{cite book |author1=UNEP / PAP/RAC / Ministarstvo spoljne trgovine i ekonomskih odnosa BiH |url=https://ekonsultacije.gov.ba/legislationactivities/downloaddocument?documentId=12676 |title=Program upravljanja obalnim područjem (CAMP) Bosne i Hercegovine |publisher=ekonsultacije.gov.ba |edition=Studija izvodljivosti |chapter=4.1 Prijedlog za CAMP oblast |format=pdf |access-date=6 November 2022}}{{Dead link|date=August 2023|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref>
