Top places to visit in Montenegro
Bay of Kotor
This spectacular submerged valley made up of deep connecting bays opens out onto the Adriatic Sea. The steep rocky coastline is punctuated with pretty medieval towns, like Perast and Herceg Novi. Don’t miss the tiny island monastery of Our Lady of the Rocks or walking Kotor’s city walls.
Budva
Ancient history meets vibrant nightlife at Montenegro’s buzziest beach town. Explore the marbled streets and Venetian walls of the charming Adriatic-lapped old town, check out the Roman-era necropolis and soak up the atmosphere with a wander along the beachfront promenade.
Lake Skadar
A paradise for nature-lovers and wine connoisseurs, this vast freshwater lake straddles the border of Montenegro and Albania. Surrounded by dramatic karst mountains, its mirrored waters and wetlands play host to remote fishing villages, family-run vineyards and more than 260 species of bird.
Durmitor National Park
Impossibly rugged Durmitor is the jewel in Montenegro’s crown. With some 50 peaks over 2000 metres, the dizzying Tara Canyon (Europe’s deepest) and a liberal smattering of glittering glacial lakes, it’s a picturesque place for outdoor adventure.
