Rafting, diving, swimming, laziness on the beaches, historic monuments, churches, old towns and varied nightlife, that all can be found in Montenegro. This destination offers a comfortable and quiet time for families with young children but also provides fun for young people and entertainment throughout the day and night.

In the south of the Adriatic Sea in the heart of the Balkan Mountains is Montenegro. This small country with only about 13,800 square kilometers has all of nature: from the sea, beautiful beaches, wild rivers with unique canyons, clear lakes to high mountains. Montenegro has five national parks: Durmitor, Biograd gora, Lovcen, Skadar Lake and the Prokletije.

In addition, Montenegrin coast is certainly one of the most popular tourist destinations due to beautiful beaches, clear waters, olive groves, pine forests and mountains rising in the background.

From Ulcinj in the South, to Herceg Novi on the north coast, every city is a different story.
Ulcinj is the southernmost city at Montenegrin coast and because of its natural potential it is destined for tourism. In this city tourists primarily come because of the sun, sea and sandy beaches.

This beach is triangular in shape and is specific in because you can swim in the sea and in the river. In fact the two sides of the beach are splashed by the river Bojana, and the third by the Adriatic Sea.

 

Most desirable tourist attraction is certainly Budva because of the many beautiful beaches. Budva Riviera is the metropolis of Montenegrin tourism. With 21 kilometers of coastline and 17 beaches it represents one of the most beautiful coasts in the world. The main tourist attraction in Budva, especially among celebrities is certainly an exclusive resort town-hotel Saint Stefan. It is located on an island that is connected to the mainland by a sandbar, on which are situated two beaches with red sand.

Herceg Novi, recognizable by the Mimosa trees and numerous steps, is full of greenery, flowers and historic buildings. Due to the large number of sunny days per year it is often called "the city of the sun".
