Best sights in Montenegro
Kotor (perfect as base)
An ancient stone capital frozen in time, walled off and sitting at the edge of the ocean. Kotor is a city of cobblestones, medieval churches, and looming mountains on its horizon. It’s a place of absolute beauty.
Budva (22km from Kotor)
Montenegro’s most popular and exciting city is Budva. A city of gorgeous beaches, islands to explore just off the coast, and theatres to visit during your peaceful stay.
Durmitor National Park (166km from Kotor)
Mountains and lakes make up one of the most beautiful areas of Montenegro. Here you’ll find the beautiful Durmitor national park and its Black Lake, as well as a host of incredible wild animals, including bears and eagles!
Sveti Stefan (31km from Kotor)
This islet not far from the capital is a heavenly summer resort town. With the ocean on three of its four sides, it’s not much of a stretch to call this place paradise on Earth.
Cetinje (53km from Kotor)
Once upon a time, Cetinje was the capital of Montenegro, and so it’s no surprise that it is now one of the nation’s most historic and stunning old towns, with grand catholic churches to see and explore.
Lovcen National Park (34km from Kotor)
An endless expanse of rolling green hills and powerful high mountains. Here, you’ll find the resting place of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, a cultural leader beloved by the people of Montenegro.

Best time to visit
Spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit Montenegro, the icy months are a distant memory and the trees are either a vibrant green or a dazzling copper. You’ll also find the cheapest prices since the summer months are busy with holidaying families and party-goers.
However, if you’re looking to enjoy Montenegro’s nightlife scene then you’ll want to visit in July and August when the Riviera is at its most lively.
