10 Cultural Tours in Herceg-Novi Municipality That You Shouldn't Miss

April 27, 2022 Natalie Tallman

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.

We visited Dubrovnik as a family of 2 adults and 2 adult children in June 2017. Each day, one of us organised an activity for the family. The activity booked through Cheap Dubrovnik Tours was an evening guided walk around the old city walls of Dubrovnik. The guide was very engaging, spoke excellent English and answered all the questions we asked. The views were spectacular and the evening sunset over the Mediterranean was stunning. Highly recommended.

After a quick chat on the kind of things we like and the places we wanted to visit these guys soon worked out an achievable full day (8am to 9pm) private tour and price.

The beauty of Montenegro lies in the fact that everything is reachable, from the sea to the mountains. And so it was, for my friends and myself with a very skilled guidance of Montenegro Style crew. We enjoyed comfortable helicopter ride, listening stories about Montenegrin landscape,National Parks, mountain peaks and amazing lakes. Montenegro Style are great, easy going and they went an extra mile in shaping our special tour. Thank you dear people!

I booked this trip via their website and asked for the day trip to the Ostrog Monastery on 15th September. As this was a day out I thought the price very reasonable, considering the current situation, so we had the guide to ourselves! Igor collected us at our apartment and brought us back to the apartment afterwards. Igor is most pleasant, funny and extremely knowledgeable, regarding the history of Montenegro. It is obvious that he is passionate about history and he told us all the stories and legends of all the places that we passed along the way. When we mentioned where we had been and where we were going, he volunteered additional information regarding things to look out for, which he didn't need to do. The monastery itself is magnificent and a lot of the traditions were explained to us and we spent most of our time at the upper monastery, which was built into the rockface! On our way back to Kotor we stopped at a traditional restaurant, where we had knuckle (knee) of beef and lamb cooked the traditional way. This was accompanied by a traditional salad and washed down with homemade wine, which was delicious. Just by the way, lunch is not included in the tour and we were taken there because our conversation about where we had been turned to food and Igor asked if we would like to stop for a late lunch. If you love history and local traditions then this trip is for you!

- First we were a bit scared because they didn’t have any comment on rentalcar.com and finally we decided to rent a car with them. - The car was exactly the one that we rented, the staff was really nice, helpful and flexible, we could join them easily during the trip to extend our rent - We warmly recommend this agency they are very serious and rate is the cheapest you can find!!!! - Full tank was not done when we picked up the car and we had to drop it with the same amount of gazoline but it is a small detail...
