Unique Things To Visit In Montenegro

Montenegro, a very small country in the Balkans, has collected so many amazing places that it will not be enough to see all the sights of Montenegro at once. We made a list of the most interesting places in Montenegro that are worth visiting in the first place.

All the sights of Montenegro, which will be discussed below, can be seen either with a group tour, or you can get on your own by car or by public transportation.

In Montenegro, you can combine independent travel and a guide by booking a trip with a private guide. Moreover, you can go both in your car, simply by capturing a guide, and by shifting the care of the organization of transport onto the shoulders of the guide.

How to rent a car in Montenegro and all the nuances associated with this can check here. For those who are too lazy to read: a reliable and safe site where you can book a car in Montenegro is Tara-Car. We regularly book a car there for trips around Montenegro.

Canyon of the Tara

The canyon of the Tara and Moraca rivers is the perfect combination of natural beauty and active recreation. Canyons are considered the main attractions of the country and are very popular among rafting enthusiasts. The most popular rafting in Montenegro is on the river Tara.

The Tara River Canyon in Montenegro is the deepest in all of Europe and is second only to the famous Grand Canyon in the States.

The canyon of the Moraca River is a road and railway portal to the north of Montenegro. Numerous tunnels in the rocks, and cliffs - a dangerous but exciting journey. There are many equipped viewing platforms with stunning views. 

Durmitor National Park

Do you want to see the pristine Montenegro, which was not influenced by time or man? Then be sure to go to Durmitor. In the lost mountain villages, people live the old-fashioned way, like hundreds of years ago.

I attribute the national Durmitor Park to must-see sights in Montenegro. There are many lakes in the park, the most famous is the Black Lake, and a photograph on a bench against the background of the lake is one of the visiting cards of the country. One of the most popular tours in the National Park is the jeep safari on Durmitor.

Bay of Kotor - the most beautiful fjord in Europe

One of the most popular places in Montenegro is the Bay of Kotor, known as the southernmost and one of the 10 most beautiful fjords in Europe. On the shores of this picturesque bay are the famous Montenegrin cities of Kotor, Herceg Novi, Tivat, Perast and a dozen small cosy towns and villages.

You need to watch the bay from both water and land. There are different options for excursions around Boke - from a quick group on a boat to a full-fledged one-day tour with visits to all interesting places in the bay. I advise you to choose the last option - a full-day boat tour of Boka.

The old town in Budva

There is an old town in Bar and Ulcinj. But if you don’t visit Budva, don’t walk along the narrow winding streets among colourful old houses, among which cosy cafes are hidden, who will believe you that you were in Montenegro?

The old fortress-citadel of St. Mary and the Church of St. John is a visiting card of old Budva. In the church, there is an ancient miraculous icon painted by the Apostle Luke, and in the citadel, there is now a museum with ancient artifacts, it is worth visiting here and getting acquainted with the centuries-old history of the city and Montenegro in just an hour.
