Your Montenegro Tour Begins Departing from Kotor

Our Great Montenegro Tour begins in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kotor – a fortified coastal town at the foot of Lovcen Mountain. This (Kotor) is a must-visit destination because of its well-preserved medieval architecture, labyrinthine streets, and vibrant squares. We conveniently offer pick-up and drop-off services from Tivat, Budva, and Herceg Novi for those not staying in Kotor.

As with all tours in Montenegro, it is all about an exciting journey through the country’s diverse landscapes and attractions.

Kotor’s Serpentine Road or Kotor Cable Car

Soon after we start our day trip from Kotor, we take you on an exhilarating drive along Kotor’s Serpentine Road – a remarkable engineering feat consisting of 25 hairpin turns connecting the Bay of Kotor with the mountains. The narrow, winding road provides unparalleled views of Kotor Bay and the surrounding landscapes, making it a photographer’s dream and a perfect place for a few photo stops! The hairpin turns, and dramatic inclines make the journey a thrilling experience full of breathtaking views.

In addition to taking the serpentine road, we offer a Cable Car from Kotor to Lovcen as an option to start your tour, which will take you directly to Lovcen National Park. Kotor’s Cable Car is the latest attraction in the bay and a bucket-list experience!

Njegusi Village: Birthplace of Petar Petrović Njegoš

The picturesque village of Njeguši is nestled between the mountains at an altitude of around 900 meters (2953 ft) and is the birthplace of Petar Petrovic Njegos II, who once ruled Montenegro. Known for its traditional stone houses and mouthwatering local cuisine, Njeguši offers authentic Montenegrin life.

This village is also the birthplace of Montenegro’s smoked ham (Njeguški pršut) and cheese (Njeguški sir), a must-try delicacy if you want to experience Montenegrin cuisine truly.

Lovcen National Park and Lovcen Mausoleum

Lovćen is home to the famous mausoleum of Montenegro’s most celebrated ruler and poet, Petar II Petrović-Njegoš. Designed by renowned Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović, the mausoleum is perched at Mount Lovćen’s Jezerski Vrh (Lake Peak). It offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. To reach the mausoleum, you’ll climb 461 steps. It is a somewhat challenging yet rewarding ascent that leads to the mausoleum’s entrance.

Behind the Lovcen Mausoleum is a picture worth a thousand words – the Lovcen Viewpoint, from which you can see most of Montenegro and the mountains of neighboring countries. Honestly, it’s one of the best things to do in Montenegro!

Cetinje – The Old Royal Capital

The next stop on our Great Montenegro Tour is Cetinje – the historical capital of Montenegro and the heart of Montenegrin culture. Founded in the 15th century by Ivan Crnojević, Cetinje served as the royal capital until the early 20th century, and its rich history is evident in the well-preserved architecture and cultural landmarks.

Our walking tour at Cetinje will take us down memory lane as time passes, and you’ll encounter an atmosphere steeped in history and tradition.

Rijeka Crnojevića – The River of Crnojević

The tour takes you from Cetinje to the picturesque Rijeka Crnojevića, a charming riverside village along the winding Crnojević River. The village boasts pristine nature, a rich cultural heritage, and a relaxed atmosphere that invites you to slow down and enjoy the beauty of Montenegro.

During our visit, we will stop at the famous Pavlova Strana viewpoint. After our lunch break, we will go for an incredible boat ride near the old bridge. Put on your swimsuits and enjoy swimming among the water lilies.

Sveti Stefan and a Perfect Ending of Montenegro’s Best Tour

The tour ends with a mesmerizing sunset over Sveti Stefan, where the luxurious Aman resort enhances the enchanting atmosphere. This breathtaking view is the perfect conclusion, leaving unforgettable memories of Montenegro’s diverse landscapes, history, and culture.
