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!

Viewing Point at the Road Kotor-Lovcen

Reviewed By SteveTrb - Greater London, United Kingdom

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.

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.

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!

Saborni Hram Hristovog Vaskrsenja

Reviewed By dj286

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.
