Top 10 Things to do in Herceg-Novi Municipality, Montenegro
Herceg Novi (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Херцег Нови; pronounced [xěrtseɡ nôʋiː]) is a coastal town in Montenegro located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor and at the foot of Mount Orjen. It is the administrative center of the Herceg Novi Municipality with around 33,000 inhabitants. Herceg Novi was known as Castelnuovo ("New castle" in Italian) between 1482 and 1797, when it was part of Ottoman Empire and the Albania Veneta of the Republic of Venice. It was a Catholic bishopric and remains a Latin titular see as Novi. Herceg Novi has had a turbulent past, despite being one of the youngest settlements on the Adriatic. A history of varied occupations has created a blend of diverse and picturesque architectural style in the city.

The medieval orthodox monastery complex situated next to the city, on a hill in the lush Mediterranean vegetation. It is composed of the Great Church, the Small Church and the Temple of Saint Sava, which was built, according to belief, by Saint Sava in the 13th century.

We walked to this Monastery and really enjoyed the history it represented and the care that has been given to it to keep it looking pristine. The entire region of Boka Bay is full of Monasteries high up in their hills and not easy to get to but Savina Monastery is easily accessible on foot. We recommend that you walk up the staircase on the right of the Monastery because about half way up you will find a clearing which gives you a fantastic aerial view of the Monastery and the western part of Boka Bay
2. Clock Tower
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 165 reviews
Known also as the City Tower, it is one of the symbols of Herceg Novi. It is situated in the western part of the Old Town, and its main feature is the clock, which was replaced with an electric one in the mid-nineties of the last century.

Recommend a visit to this charming winery. Up on the hillside by Savina Monastery with beautiful views of the mountains overlooking Kotor Bay through to the gateway of the Adriatic Sea. Natasha was our guide. Informative of the locality, the wines & the history of the winery (from it being a hobby through to winning bronze awards at the world wine awards in London) It wasn’t just the wine, our friendly guide, the tour or the food though that made it such a lovely place to visit it was the whole experience. Exceptional views with delicious local food (snacks to complement the wine) a warm, welcoming guide and very good wines- light, refreshing and fruity. We started with rose-ganache, white - chardonnay, red- cabernet sauvignon -the merlot was still in the barrels & finally we had the rakija. It is a small winery and the tour itself is not long but it made it more personal hearing the family story behind the winery. We thoroughly enjoyed it and spent a good few hrs there relaxing, with it all undertaken at a very gentle pace. Really worth a visit, though to be aware you do need to make a private booking before you go (we did this through our hotel)

Nice old town with 3 fortresses inside in Boka Kotorska Bay. City is famous for its staircases connecting sea promenade with upper town. Nice old houses and atmosphere. Only thing missing are beaches, they are small and concrete.

Lovely small church in beautiful surroundings worth popping in for a look in the old town of Herceg Novi
7. Promenade of Herceg Novi

Reviewed By 98bernardc - Sligo, Ireland
Lots of restaurants, bars, cafes of all grades. Even the most expensive is very reasonable, by comparison with nearby Croatia, especially the Dubrovnik/Cavtat riviera. Great panoramic views of the Bay of Kotor you walk along. Boat trips available to various attractions. Trip up the bay to Kotor on a Pajo boat (owned by the family) really worthwhile, friendly with good commentary in various languages. In general, a laid back resort. If flying into Dubrovnik, ask your apartment owner about a transfer, to avoid delays at the border for buses/coaches (external EU frontier).
8. Fortress Spanjola
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 72 reviews
Spanjola, or the Upper Fortress, gained its present look during the short rule of the Spanish in the mid-XVI century. Owing to its dominant position, it played a key strategic role in the defence of Boka for a long time. During the II World War, it served as a prison for a while.
