Travel Guide

Montenegro

Montenegro is a Balkan country brimming with natural wonders. Rugged mountains reach peaks over 6,500 feet high, while narrow beaches stretch along the Adriatic coastline and National parks like Durmitor National Park, Lake Skadar National Park, Lovćen National Park and Biogradska Gora National Park dominate the landscape.

A nature lovers dream, Montenegro is also culturally rich, home to ancient towns, historic monuments and traditional customs. The Bay of Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the ancient fortified town of Kotor, medieval architecture, old churches and city walls is a magical experience, with noteworthy towns like Herceg Novi and Perast nearby.
