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.

We travelled from the Cetinje end of the road having visited the mausoleum in Lovcen National Park. Not sure that previous reviews have stressed enough the impact of the roadworks on quite a long stretch of the road - 10km or so, we would guess. So, the views are absolutely fantastic, the hairpins are ok even if you do meet cars coming the other way, but if you do have a hire car, be prepared to drive very slowly and manoeuvre your path across the smallest of the ruts in the road. There isn't a proper tarmac surface at all for pretty much all of that distance, and we scraped the bottom of the car on several occasions in between queuing along with other cars waiting for lorries to be loaded with rubble by JCBs to clear the way. My view is that you shouldn't let this put you off - we made it, after all. You can see from the pictures posted how amazing the views are as well. I'm speaking as the driver of the car, however. When my wife and I discussed whether we'd do it again knowing what the road was like, I said yes, she said no ! By the way, the Mausoleum in Lovcen was well worth a visit and you get to see some great views of practically the whole of Montenegro, especially if you pay the €3 to get to the Mausoleum itself and walk up to the viewing point.

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
4. Lake Skadar

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 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.

Located in the most prominent part of the Old Town, the Citadel is a 15th century edifice, which includes the remains of St. Mary's Church, terraced gates, several squares, and a building of the former army barracks.

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!
8. Crno Lake
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 828 reviews
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.

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.

This is an astonishing building, given that it was built as recently as the 1990s. From a distance it could easily be hundreds of years old. As you enter be prepared to have your breath taken away. It has an interior unlike anything I have seen before - quite beautiful. If visiting the city, don't pass up the chance to see this landmark.
10. Kotor Old City

Reviewed By Basia_Poznan - Poznan, Poland
Kotor is said to be one of very few survived Medieval towns untouched by wars. It is squezed between the sea and the mountain and is all contained within the town walls streaching up the steep hill. It looks like the Great Chinese Wall with a town inside and belongs to UNESCO heritage list. This Old Town contains everything history lover can imagine: old houses, narrow streets, small squares, and yards, catholic and orthodox churches dating back to 9th and 11th centuries, lapidarium, town hall clock etc. And something one can't escape in such places: souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants and craft shops, but also hostels, travel offices and museums and art exhibitions. But what is most exciting: you can climb along the city walls up to the castle on the top! The really unforgettable experience! I'd advice to take decent shoes as the steps are slippery and the route is quite exhausting. But the feeling and the view to the Kotor Bay - exceptional!!!
