Bay of Kotor

Reviewed By planetogra - Tewantin, Australia

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.

Lake Skadar

Reviewed By JessicaFayeB - Benfleet, United Kingdom

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! ♡

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.

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!!!

Porto Montenegro

Reviewed By salschmidt - Republic of North Macedonia, null

Tivat is a coastal town in southwest Montenegro, located in the Bay of Kotor, and is dominated by the stunning Porto Montenegro, a new marina, full of superyachts, shopping, and restaurants also has its own airport just 10 minutes drive. You could easily spend a week here exploring, dining and relaxing by the beach. Great community, friendly people, and you are spoilt for choice to dine. This place just ticks all the boxes, has a development plan, which is the complete opposite of Budva.

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.

Long Beach (Velika plaza)

Reviewed By Lukasz8dosz - Wroclaw, Poland

Entry free of charge, huge parking for all cars, actually you have very big amount of small beaches next to the other one. We recommend Pearl beach or Hills beach. Quite many places in the forest to park in shadow. The beach itself is windy and the sand is of dark grey colour. Water is clean and very warm. We liked a lot. The place is huge, no way not to be able to find own place.

The Old Town

Reviewed By doctorbobster - Gainesville, United States

If you have any interest in medieval history or one to spark the interest in someone young, A visit to the old town is worth far more than the couple euros of admission. For me, even walking through the entryway, the old portcullis, was tinged with excitement. Through the entryway, the space opens up and takes you to the official entry on the left to the old town and what is, essentially, an outdoor medieval museum consisting of the remnants of the fortress and included exhibits. Having visited many such sites in other European countries, What sets this one apart is the extent to which it is unstructured an unmarked allowing you to freely wander through the available structures. One word of advice: if it is near the end of the day and they are closing down, make sure you leave before you get locked in as the three of us did, leaving us to have to scale a wall and perform some nimble gymnastics in order to escape The old fortress.
