Is Montenegro still a hidden gem of Europe? Packed with natural beauty and biodiversity, Montenegro is a country with some of the most stunning landscapes, immense cultural & historical heritage, and summers to remember! From coast to the summits of its dramatic mountains, Kotor to Durmitor National Park, here's the top 6 must-see places when planning a trip to Montenegro:

  • Kotor

  • Budva

  • Durmitor National Park

  • Perast

  • Biogradska Gora

  • Ulcinj

 

Kotor

 

Old Town Kotor

 

Kotor is a place for all seasons with every month offering something that will leave in awe even the most experiential travellers. From its winter to summer carnival, Boka Bay's night - probably even bigger celebration than New Year (at least here), medieval walls and fortifications, to its fjord like cliffs, and much more, Old Town Kotor as well as the entire Bay of Kotor should be on everyones itinerary when visiting Montenegro.

Once here, make sure to Conquer the Walls of Kotor and enjoy the view from the top as the Bay of Kotor stretches in all its beauty, in front of you. Roam and 'get lost' in its winding alleyways of book a Kotor walk tour if you fancy being transported in time and learn about Kotor's rich culture & heritage. If you have time to spare or using Kotor as a base to explore further, bring some sunscreen an go for a Kotor Cruise, a boat tour around Boka Bay, and stop for a swim in Blue Cave. For all the foodies out there, trying seafood here is a must and for those a bit more 'picky' ones, enjoy the charms of sunny terrace at Resto Bar Taraca, with wide variety of vegan & vegetarian food options. The only place in Kotor that offers it (to our knowledge).

 

 

Budva

Biogradska Gora National Park

 

Biogradsko Lake at Biogradska Gora National park

 

 

Step inside one of the last remaining primeval forests in Europe. Welcome to National Park Biogradska Gora. From its ancient trees, beautiful Biogradsko Lake and nature worth exploring, this truly unique & breathtaking place is definitely the one to cross off your list of bucket-list experiences in Montenegro.

How does walking around the thick forest surrounding the Biogradsko Lake sound? Or paddling away on its emerald waters? Horseback riding?

Ulcinj

 

Nestled along the Adriatic Sea, Ulcinj is a charming town in southern Montenegro. It is well-known for its stunning sandy beach, the longest on the entire Adriatic coast.

Visitors flock to Ulcinj to soak up the sun and engage in multiple water sports, such as kiteboarding and windsurfing. But Ulcinj has much more to offer than just its beautiful beach. You can wander through the winding streets of The Old Town of Ulcinj, a historic district filled with narrow streets and charming houses and you can check out the local shops and restaurants or visit the Ulcinj Museum to learn more about the town's rich history.

Of course, no mention of Ulcinj would be complete without Ada Bojana – a river, flowing into the Adriatic forming a delta which created a river-island of Ada Bojana.

 

 

Final Thoughts

 

It is incredible to many, how such a small Mediterranean country can pack up so much within its borders. Whether you want to hike the highest Mausoleum in the world and gaze upon its beauty, go from Kotor on a boat tour around Boka Bay, go rafting, skiing, paragliding – in Montenegro you will find and definitely leave a piece of your existence.

 

Don't miss out on the opportunity to explore all that this incredible country has to offer. You'll be glad you took the time to discover the natural gems of Montenegro. And remember, your Montenegro bucket-list starts with one scrach off.
