Montenegro Holidays

Montenegro’s bewitching landscape has captivated its visitors for decades. Its coastline is carved with fjord-like bays, which are overlooked by mysterious pine-swathed mountains, while down on the waterfront, decadent spots attract a celebrity crowd.

Montenegro is a destination that’s getting a lot of buzz for all the right reasons. After flying under the radar for too long, this small country’s natural bounty has finally commanded the attention it deserves. To say that Montenegro’s coastline is dramatic is no hyperbole. In Kotor, a submerged river canyon gives the effect of mountains rising spectacularly from the shimmering water, creating a fjord-like bay. Terracotta-roofed buildings fringed with tropical gardens line the waterfront, with stone arches framing views across the water.

Visit in the summertime, and as you weave around Venetian-style palaces on the way to the beaches, you’ll catch the scent of herbs and flowers on the breeze. But Montenegro isn’t all lazy lunches, historic strolls, and beachy moments. Outside the towns, the scenery is an adventurers' playground, where you might find yourself canyoning in the hills that overlook Kotor or exploring the region’s vineyards.
