Durmitor National Park is the epicenter of adventure tourism, with the Tara Canyon, Black Lake and hiking peaks. Biogradska Gora is home to one of the last virgin forests in Europe. And Lovćen National Park is the spiritual heart of Montenegro.
The Budva coast is the tourist center of the country. The city of Budva offers a beautiful old town and a lively nightlife. Nearby are the famous island of Sveti Stefan, the long Bečići beach and quieter coves such as Jaz or Mogren.
Climb the Walls of Kotor
Tackle the 1,355 steps up the side of St. John's Mountain, above the old town of Kotor. The effort is rewarded with absolutely unforgettable views of the city and the entire Bay of Kotor. It is a magical experience, especially at sunrise or sunset.
Rafting in the Tara Canyon
Sailing the turquoise waters of the Tara River, through the deepest canyon in Europe, is one of the greatest adventures in the Balkans. Rafting offers a unique perspective of the spectacular cliffs and unspoiled nature of Durmitor National Park.
Sailing on Lake Skadar
Take a traditional wooden boat to explore the vast and serene Lake Skadar, a water-lily covered paradise. It is one of the most important bird sanctuaries in Europe, where you can spot frowning pelicans and cormorants. The experience is completed with a swim in its waters and a visit to small fishing villages.
Feel the Spirituality of Ostrog Monastery
Visiting this impressive Serbian Orthodox monastery, built into a vertical rock wall, is an experience that amazes both pilgrims and tourists. The atmosphere of faith and the incredible feat of its construction in such an inaccessible place make it a unique place in the world.
Driving along the Kotor Serpentine
For lovers of panoramic roads, the old road connecting Kotor to Cetinje is an unforgettable challenge. Its 25 hairpin curves offer a new and more spectacular view of the Bay of Kotor at every turn. Not suitable for nervous drivers.
Visit 'Our Lady of the Rocks'
Take a small boat from Perast to visit the artificial island of 'Gospa od Škrpjela' (Our Lady of the Rocks). Legend has it that the island was created by local sailors over centuries, throwing rocks at the site. The small baroque church and its museum are charming.
