As you might guess from the name, Montenegro is a mountainous place. With just 100km of coastline, this tiny country packs a lot in. From Adriatic beaches to historic sights, visiting Montenegro is always exciting. There's something here for every kind of vacation.
Mountains, rivers, and a breathtaking coastline
If that's got you packing your bags in anticipation already, we're not surprised. Our choice of overnight destination in Montenegro is Kotor, located in Europe's southernmost fjord. Breathtaking views reward a 45-minute climb up to Kotor Fortress. When you get back to the well-preserved town below, a feast of grilled squid and delicious local wine awaits you. In the bay of Kotor itself, the smaller town of Perast is worth a visit. If you head inland you'll find mountains and forests to explore in Durmitor National Park and we've chosen Zabljak as the base there. To get another take on Montenegro's stunning coastline you could also opt to stay in Budva, a town with the nickname Montenegrin Miami, though there has been a settlement there for over 2.500 years. Budva's old town architecture and layout is a leftover from the relatively more recent days of the Republic of Venice. We also recommend heading down the coast to Ulcinj, an ancient town that shares much with its neighbors just over the Albanian border. Predating Jesus, Ulcinj has a charming old town and is the center of local culture.
An affordable vacation
Although not a member of the EU yet, Montenegro is on the Euro. That doesn't necessarily mean high prices, and you'll find Montenegro is a good value for money. A trip to Montenegro is affordable even when compared to other Adriatic destinations. What to do here besides see the sights? You can expect delicious seafood, great beaches, and plenty of Montenegrin charm. The locals are friendly and welcoming, in Kotor and throughout the country.

We were so well cared for, it took all the worry out of getting around and making arrangements. The tour that was planned for us was exactly what we hoped for. We have both agreed it was one of the best holidays we have ever had... and we have traveled all over the world for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Montenegro
When is the best time to visit Montenegro?
Is Montenegro safe?
What is Montenegrin cuisine like?
The food you’ll find in Montenegro depends on where you are, with grilled or baked fish and other seafood being important along the coast, and dairy very common inland. Polenta and various soups are also a part of many meals.
Montenegrins love their strong coffee, thanks in part to their time under both Turkish and Austrian rulers. Locals also like their beer strong (we recommend the Niksic brand). Montenegro distinguishes itself for its wine, though, especially the dry red Vranac and dry white Krstac. Brandy is also popular, whether made from plums, apples, or grapes. The local tap water is safe to drink.
