Discovering Montenegro: Places to See, Activities to Enjoy

After getting settled in Kotor on day one, you start your adventure early in the morning on day 2.

And, it stops only after you’ve explored plenty of interesting places, leaving room to sum up your impressions on day 9.

The Bay of Kotor has undeniably made the list of those interesting places to see. So, we spend a whole day exploring its wonders. Our Lady of the Rocks is one of our stops, and the Roman mosaics in Risan is another. Furthermore, you get to explore Perast, as well as Kotor, reveling in the beautiful architecture. And, of course, Grahovo village is a part of the itinerary, connecting you to tradition and history.

Clearly, a 9 day tour of discovering Montenegro has more to offer. Sure, the Bay is our starting point. But, we go much further on our journey. What’s more, in addition to seeing amazing places, you get to enjoy exciting activities.

For example, you can hike to Njeguši village, where you get to visit the oldest Montenegrin restaurant. Of course, if you don’t feel much like hiking, you can always opt for a scenic drive instead. Climbing the stairs to the Njegoš Mausoleum might be active enough for you. And then there is also a Cetinje walking tour to keep you entertained.

If you enjoy more active journeys, though, you’ll love the Tara River rafting tour. As well as a bike ride or a hike at Durmitor National Park. Or a horseback ride, if that’s more up your alley.

Additionally, the tour takes you to see the Skadar National Park and enjoy the amazing viewpoint of Pavlova Strana. Furthermore, Biogradska Gora National Park is a part of the itinerary, as is the Komovi Mountain, offering another hiking opportunity.

Learning About the History of the Country

So, you get to hike, bike, raft, horseback ride, as well as enjoy scenic drives and boat tours. But, you also want to learn something, don’t you?

Not to worry! With a knowledgeable guide on your side, each day is enriched with interesting stories of Montenegrin history.

Hear about the legends attached to the Our Lady of the Rocks island. Learn who Njegoš was, and why the Njegoš Mausoleum is an important historical and cultural site in the country. Then, understand the rich historical background of Skadar Lake, which served as a battleground for five centuries.

Find out the origin of the name Durmitor, and explore the past of Žabljak.

Breathe in the fresh air of Montenegro’s first national park, Biogradska Gora. And, watch in amazement as Komovi, one of the most impressive mountain ranges in Montenegro, opens up in front of you.

Finally, don’t forget to take photos and create the perfect memories while discovering the history of the country.

Discovering Montenegro and Relishing the Local Cuisines

Can you really say that you’ve been discovering Montenegro if you haven’t tried the different cuisines?

No journey through history, tradition, and culture can be complete without food. That is, without traditional dishes.

In short, relish the local food, from the south to the north of the country. Notice the differences among the cuisines, and pick your favorite dish.

Who knows, you may even get a recipe for it! After all, Montenegrins are nothing if not friendly!
