From sun-drenched beaches and crystal clear waters to majestic mountains and ancient towns rich with history, the magic of Montenegro is utterly enchanting.
The islands that dot the coastline sport spectacular beaches and stunning views of emerald waters stretching out beneath the endless sunshine. From towering peaks to pristine forests, Montenegro offers the most breathtaking seaside sights in Europe.
All along the Montenegro coast, ancient walled towns rise up from the jewel-like waters into the sculpted mountains. Ancient Roman villas filled with colorful mosaics, crumbling Orthodox monasteries, and imposing fortresses all invite picture-perfect sightseeing.
The people of Montenegro are warm and welcoming, always ready with a friendly greeting. Here, shopping and dining are leisurely pleasures. In summertime, the scents of tropical flowers, pine trees, and wild herbs drift through the air, lending an exotic appeal to the charming secluded towns of Montenegro.
Between the mountains and the sea, the haunting allure of ancient Kotor’s fortifications overlook the cobblestone streets of a bustling town. Medieval churches, Venetian palaces, and cathedrals exist side-by-side with modern cafés, nightclubs, and plentiful shopping opportunities.
As peaceful as it is beautiful, Perast has no fewer than 16 palaces dating all the way back to the Renaissance. Because it’s one of the sunniest places on the coast, and sparsely populated today, its narrow streets offer a relaxing charm. Don’t miss the stunning view from the top of the towering St. Nikola church.
Formerly a drab Navy base, Tivat has been utterly transformed into an upscale resort, where extravagant yachts line the ultra-modern marina. Museums, galleries and upscale shopping can all be found here, alongside ritzy restaurants that offer some of the finest service in the area.
Famous for its hundreds (perhaps even thousands) of flights of stairs, Herceg Novi comes alive with the scents of countless tropical flowers. Centuries-old churches and fortresses rise up above lush green mimosa trees, overlooking the sunniest beaches in Boka Bay.
The secluded sand-and-pebble Miriste Beach is fantastic for swimming, and boasts magnificent views of the ancient fortresses nearby. It’s also home to the world-famous Blue Cave, where sunlight sparkles off the sandy floor and lights the entire cave with sapphire blue light.
The sun-drenched beaches of Budva are surrounded by glitzy nightclubs, bars and restaurants. The cobbled streets are lined with cafés, boutique shops, and museums. And the antiquarian charm of Stari Grad (Old Town) reveals a storied history that stretches back to the 5th century BC.
The fortified island village of Sveti Stefan (Saint Stephen) is a picturesque clutter of 15th-century stone villas once frequented by Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Princess Margaret. With its pink-sand beach and azure waters, Sveti Stefan is perhaps the most idyllic island in all of Montenegro.
Bigova is a charming fishing village nestled in a sheltered bay, making it an ideal anchorage for a relaxing afternoon. The calm, turquoise waters invite you for a refreshing swim, while the surrounding hills provide a scenic backdrop. This quaint village is famous for its fresh seafood, and you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy local specialties in a traditional seaside restaurant. With its laid-back atmosphere and stunning surroundings, Bigova is a true Adriatic retreat where time seems to slow down.
The Luštica Peninsula is a hidden gem of Montenegro, offering a perfect blend of untouched nature, crystal-clear waters, and authentic coastal charm. As we sail along its rugged coastline, you’ll discover secluded coves and tranquil bays ideal for swimming and relaxation.
Montenegro offers a feast of opportunities for those who love good food. Expect generous portions of delectable regional dishes you can find nowhere else, often made with fresh, organic, locally-sourced produce. This country has always been a gateway between the East and the West, so meals here are sumptuously influenced by Italian, Turkish and Greek cuisine. Olive groves grow all along the coastline, making olive oil an essential ingredient.
For those with a sweet tooth and a sense of adventure, Montenegro offers some of the world’s best baklava, along with krofne (a kind of doughnut served with jam or chocolate) and krempita, a layered cream pie. The charm and diversity of Montenegro foods, along with the warm tradition of hospitality, will quickly win you over.
Montenegro does not have its own currency, but instead uses Euros. Prices tend to fluctuate seasonally. Major credit cards are usually accepted by large hotels and resorts, but not generally in smaller towns and villages. However, ATMs are readily available.
There are three airport options when traveling to the Montenegro coast: Tivat Airport (TIV), which is located closest to the coast, followed by Podgorica Airport (TGD).
