Montenegro
Autorka, Travelbay
Tiny Montenegro is gaining in popularity every year. More and more often, it is becoming the main destination for a holiday vacation , and not just a one-day trip destination from Croatia or Albania . Tourists are delighted with the amazing landscapes there, because the high mountains meet the sea there. The most beautiful, but also the most crowded place by tourists is Boka Kotorska , which resembles a Norwegian fjord. This bay cuts between the slopes of the Lovćen Mountains , creating an amazing scenery.

The Montenegrin coast, although quite short, is quite diverse and scenic. The local resorts such as Herceg Novi , Budva , Bar and Ulcinja are developing dynamically. There are many trails in Durmitor , Prokletije , Komov and Bjelasica mountains for hiking and biking enthusiasts. Montenegro is therefore an ideal destination for people looking for a compromise between active recreation and relaxation by the sea.

Activities in Montenegro
Montenegro is a good destination if you prefer active holidays . First of all, you will have a lot to show off on the local mountain trails.

The network of routes is constantly expanding. Montenegro also invites tourists in winter . In the ski resorts in Kolasin or Zablijak you will be able to have fun on one or two boards.

Off the trail in Montenegro
Although every year there are more and more tourists in Montenegro, you can still find places that they visit less frequently. Podgorica is undoubtedly one of them. The Montenegrin capital is mainly treated as a communication hub. The city itself has not much to offer, but if you like non-obvious attractions, you will be able to look for them there. And what if you can find them. On your way to the north of the country, be sure to visit the Ostrog Monastery . While wandering along the coast, visit Tivat , where one of the most modern marinas in Europe was built not so long ago.
