Must-see in Montenegro
Kotor Old Town & City Walls
Wander the UNESCO-listed maze of medieval stone streets, then climb the 1,350 steep fortification steps to San Giovanni Castle for panoramic fjord-like views.
Our Lady of the Rocks (Gospa od Škrpjela)
Hop on a water taxi from Perast to visit this picturesque man-made islet and Baroque church, built over centuries by sailors dropping rocks into the bay.
Ostrog Monastery
Carved into a sheer vertical cliff face 900 meters above the Zeta Valley, this 17th-century Orthodox shrine is one of the Balkans' most revered pilgrimage sites.
Local food to try in Montenegro
Kačamak
A hearty, slow-cooked mix of cornmeal, potatoes, and aged kajmak cheese, vigorously beaten into an elastic, comforting mountain delicacy.
Njeguški Pršut
Locally cured and air-dried prosciutto from the mountain village of Njeguši, traditionally smoked over beechwood and served alongside local sheep's cheese.
Lignje na Žaru
Fresh Adriatic squid grilled whole over open coals, basted with olive oil, garlic, and parsley, often served with Swiss chard and potatoes.
Practical tips for Montenegro
- Montenegro unilaterally uses the Euro (€); while cards are widely accepted along the coast, keep small cash denominations for mountain villages, taxis, and small bakeries.
- Renting a car offers the best access to hidden coves and mountain passes, but drive cautiously along single-lane coastal roads and winding hairpins like the Kotor Serpentine.
- Dress modestly by covering shoulders and knees when visiting Serbian Orthodox monasteries like Ostrog, and step quietly during active liturgies.
Fun fact about Montenegro
Montenegro hosts the annual 'Lazy Olympics' (Lying Down Championship) in the village of Brezna, where competitors lie down for days on end to playfully embrace the national stereotype of resting.
