Montenegro is a country that deserves all your attention. It is recognizable for its incredible natural beauty and rich cultural and historical heritage. Therefore, plan a visit to this treasure of the Balkan Peninsula and we bring you ten destinations that you must visit while you are here.
Kotor is a symbol of tradition, culture, history and an ideal place for the first encounter with our country. Go sightseeing in Kotor and you can visit a lot in one day on a relatively small area. Visit the Old Town, the Cathedral of St. Tripun, the Napoleonic Theater, Bizanti palace and then come to Karampana - the fountain where the local population gathers and you will surely learn a lot of interesting things about Kotor from them. Due to its good position, from Kotor you can easily organize many excursions along the shore of Montenegro.
Continue just a little further from Kotor and we'll welcome you to the open-air museum! Welcome to Perast, a former maritime center with beautiful landscapes and many churches and palaces that bear witness to its rich past. The symbols of Perast are the islands Lady of the Rocks and St. George, which you can easily reach by boat. Perast is a place that will enrich you because it has everything that pleases the soul and the eyes.
For a bit of fresh air and home-made, widely known prosciutto and cheese, stop by Njeguše. Njeguši is located on the slopes of the Lovćen mountain, at 900 meters above sea level. This is the birthplace of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, one of the most famous rulers of Montenegro. Right here you can visit his residence - Billiards. Njeguši has kept the spirit of a traditional Montenegrin village and proud and hospitable hosts.
The Kotor Lovćen tour has become even more popular since last year due to the opening of the Kotor - Lovćen cable car. Whether you decide to take the traditional serpentine route to Lovćen or the cable car, this will be one of the most beautiful views you've ever seen in your life. The sea nestled between the mountains, illuminated by the sun, is a breathtaking sight. Lovćen is a symbol of Montenegrin national identity, the place where Njegoš's mausoleum is located and the historical center of our country.
For some relaxation and a lot of fun, visit Budva. Budva is the most visited town on the Montenegrin coast. It makes an ideal combination of old and new. It adapted to the modern age, but still preserved some historical foundations on which it rests. There are some of the most beautiful beaches on our coast, so it's no surprise that Budva is the first choice for lovers of the sea, sun and good times.
About a two-hour drive from the metropolis of tourism, you will reach the largest shrine in our country, which is the Ostrog Monastery. The Ostrog Monastery is an essential location for all tourists who come to Montenegro. This is a place with a special energy and will provide you with true peace and tranquility. Ostrog Monastery is dedicated to Saint Vasilije Ostroški, whose relics are housed in the monastery itself. Ostrog is a place of prayer and pilgrimage, located under a sharp rock with an incredible view of the surroundings.
If you are imagining some idyllic beauty reminiscent of descriptions from fairy tales, then you must visit Rijeka Crnojevića. This river meanders peacefully through mountain landscapes. A trip to Rijeka Crnojevića is the right choice for those who enjoy kayaking or boating and exploring the flora and fauna.
Skadar Lake National Park is the largest lake in Montenegro and home to various species of birds, the most famous of which is the Dalmatian pelican, which has become a trademark of the lake. Here you have the option of cruising the lake and that way you can reach its hidden corners - Vranjina, Lesendra, the church of St. George and others. Enjoy its calm water and the chirping of birds as the most beautiful sound of nature.
For adrenaline lovers, we recommend the Tara River. This is the longest and most beautiful river in Montenegro, which cut a canyon gorge about 80 kilometers long. It is an ideal place for rafting, especially in the period from May to October. The rafting route starts in Brštanovica and ends in Šćepan Polje. This tour lasts about two to three hours and we guarantee that you will not miss the fun and excitement.
Finally, but no less worth a visit, our suggestion is definitely Black Lake. This lake belongs to the Durmitor National Park and is a real paradise for all those who like to spend time in nature and enjoy excursions. The Black Lake is surrounded by a dense forest, which is reflected in the water, giving it the color of ink at times. And when it is illuminated by the sun's rays, the lake has the most beautiful blue-green water color, which only nature can paint like that. Tito's cave is located near the lake, which is characterized by a fascinating interior and has historical significance.
