Bobotov Kuk

Peak on Durmitor Mountain

Reviewed By Lizscj - Boise, United States

Going from Sedlo, this is one of the best hikes I have ever done, and that is saying quite a lot. I loved it because the views were continuously fabulous, the hike was totally manageable as a day hike (about 6 hours round trip) and it was just scary enough at the very top to make it feel like I had really accomplished something. I highly recommend it!

Bay of Kotor

Reviewed By planetogra - Tewantin, Australia

Whether on the water cruising Boka Bay, walking along the promenades on the waters edge, or, driving up the Horseshoe bends heading to Mt Lovcen every view is breathtaking. It is worthwhile covering all the angles if time permits as the memories & photos will live with you forever. Truly a magnificent city in a unique & 'hidden gem' of a country ( Montenegro ). When I think back that this was just tacked on as a side trip to our Croatian tour - with a ??? really? response - Kotor & Mt Lovcen were highlights of our 5 weeks awy in the Adriatic.

Our Lady of the Rocks

Reviewed By David_R186346 - Pocklington, United Kingdom

Unless you are an experienced long distance swimmer in a wet suit, do what everyone else does-- take a water taxi. Built on a man-made island, this charming little active Catholic Chapel houses some interesting and probably unique votives. Ranging from wedding bouquets to an intricate tapestry made over 25 years with the weavers hair woven into the design. The resulting eyestrain cost the weaver her sight but her precision handiwork remains for all to see

Njegos Mausoleum

Exactly 461 stairs lead to Jezerski Vrh, which is located at an altitude of 1660 m above sea level, where the Mausoleum dedicated to Petar II Petrovic Njegos was opened in 1974, making it the mausoleum at the highest altitude in the world at the time. The location of today's Mausoleum housed a humble chapel which Njegos constructed in 1845 to be his eternal resting place.

Reviewed By Montenegrogirl1 - Harrogate, United Kingdom

The mausoleum is about a 1 1/2 hours drive up from Kotor. A road full of hairpin bends and sharp drops for about 45 mins - 1 hour before it levels off more in the national park. It is well worth the drive though because of the absolutely spectacular view at the top. It truly is like being on top of the world! At the mausoleum there is a little gift area and a nice restaurant with lovely views too. On a really clear day I'm told you can see as far as Lake Skadar. Stunning! Don't miss it!

City Walls

Reviewed By IN_Travelers47906 - West Lafayette, United States

Kotor’s city walls are formidable and provide excellent examples of fortress structures. They remind me of the Great Wall of China as they uniquely wind their way up the mountain behind Kotor’s Old Town to the Church of Our Lady of Health and beyond, offering an excellent view of Kotor and beyond.

Lake Skadar

Reviewed By JessicaFayeB - Benfleet, United Kingdom

We visited Lake Skadar and stopped off at various view points. The best being skadar view point (pinpointed on Google maps) as you get incredible views of the famous horse shoe bend in the river. We were there at mid day on a Thursday and we saw a hand full of people whilst driving through to each view point on our way to Boat Milica for our boat tour around the lake (definitely book with these guys they were awesome!) We drive through the national park and stopped off at various intervals, all views were stunningly beautiful and it was so relaxing to just sit in the sun and take in the view. One thing of note if driving through the park is that we noticed most drivers in Montenegro do not like to move over when crossing other cars on narrow roads. This can be quite nerve wracking when on a mountain road with minimal barriers so just be aware that you may have to squeeze through some uncomfortable gaps if someone comes the opposite way! This national park is truly beautiful and if you ate travelling in Montenegro it is a place you simply must see! ♡

Tara Bridge

Reviewed By Laurentiu1987A - Timisoara, Romania

Tara Bridge is a great built structure over Tara River. The bridge itself is very interesting and the view from the bridge over Tara Canyon is wonderful. Here it is a must to try zip line or rafting, since from my experience with the zip line is a great choice to be above Tara.

Altstadt (Old Town) Budva

Reviewed By SteveRainville99 - Orlando, United States

We wished we had more time there, as we only had 3 hours there, and that wasn't enough. This place is a miniature version of Dubrovnik, with so many cool little restaurants and stores. The streets are so narrow, and at every corner you find something so cool, like a beach, or a church just to name a few. I absolutely recommend spending a full day here!

Crno Lake

Only 3km away from the centre of Zabljak, Malo (Small) and Veliko (Big) Lakes merge into Crno (Black) Lake. This lake is specific for its dark blue shade of water, which often seems black, and the effect is created by the Lake's depth and the dense Durmitor pine forest surrounding it.

Reviewed By miso_vojinovic - Zabljak, Montenegro

Summer season, the best for geting to know one of the most beautiful places in montenegro and europe. You can enjoy the nature while you do kayak or trecking or only rest watching the mountains.
