Montenegro Tours

Be mesmerised by hulking black mountains tumbling down to flower-filled meadows and perfect beaches

Montenegro Tours

Montenegro is a tiny – often overlooked – Balkan country flanked by Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania. It’s blessed with a beautiful strip of coastline, rugged peaks and medieval villages. On Montenegro tours you can wake up to views of the Adriatic Coast, eat lunch on the banks of Lake Skadar and enjoy an evening hike in the mountains.

The country’s recent, turbulent history is never far from the surface but Montenegro rewards the curious traveller with natural wonders. The tranquil Luštica Peninsula is a rural headland of hidden beaches and remote villages wrapped by olive groves. And the Old Town of Kotor, at the heart of the country’s wine-growing region, will enchant you; its sheltered bay attracts the yachting set, but fjord-like in its beauty and dotted with coastal churches, it’s a refreshingly unglitzy place.

Highlights of Montenegro trips

1. Kotor: This coastal town is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for it’s 4.5km-long fortification walls and many churches and palaces

2. Perast: Once owned by the Venetians, this town has a distinctly Italian feel. See the 17th-century St Nikola Church – protected by a Venetian fortress and surrounded by beautiful palaces and gardens built by the famous sea captains of the Adriatic – and have lunch overlooking the bay.

3. Cetinje: Located at the foot of Lovćen mountain, this was the ancient capital of Montenegro. Cetinje has been the country’s sacred centre since 1485, and as a result the city houses more museums and cultural heritage sites than any other in Montenegro.

4. Ostrog Monastery: Intricately carved into the rising rock face, the Ostrog Monastery is considered by many to be the most inspiring Orthodox sacred place in the former Yugoslavia. It has become the largest religious pilgrimage site in the country, with many Orthodox Christians as well as Catholics and Muslims paying homage to St Vasilije, the founder of the 17th century monastery.

5. Zabljak: Located in the Durmitor National Park – home to bears and wolves – the town of Zabljak sits neatly on a plateau at 1500m, surrounded by beautiful pine-wood forests, high alpine mountains and the 1300m-deep Tara River Canyon. Take a gentle walk around the plateau, with its glacial lakes and traditional highland villages.

A wonderful weeks hiking in the most beautiful surroundings. Sarajevo was an interesting base for some of the walks and the time spent in Mostar was lovely …despite the heavy rain!! It was a pleasure to meet all the other group members, good conversation and fun the whole week. Two of the accommmodation could be described as interesting (run down and dated) ….however, some of the other hotels exceeded expectations and were really of a very good standard.

Lee Brooks Walking in Bosnia & Herzegovina

This was an enjoyable trip. Nothing spectacular, but consistently pleasurable and interesting. Learning about the Bosnia’s past and current conditions from our guide, Boris, who lived through the Bosnian War, was fascinating. The landscapes of Bosnia were also appealing, especially that of Sutjeska National Park. Further, the lodgings were more than comfortable, with the exception of that in Sutjeska, which was, for lack of other options, a Soviet-era experience. The food was excellent, too. Lost no weight on this trip. The only serious hiking on the schedule was the climb of Maglic. Unfortunately, we were not able to do that because of heavy rain and lightning. Thus, I would rate the experience I had as moderate, rather than moderate-challenging. Finally, let me give a shoutout and thanks to the other clients on the trip, who greatly added to my enjoyment.
