It’s a lovely little place to sit here all day, watch the sea and drink good wine and beer.
We had a bottle of good Croatian Rosé, very fruit and fresh.
Lovely and friendly staff.
Best bar in cavtat, best music, staff great, view amazing and drinks not to expensive... good to watch sports on TV... undoubtedly the best bar..
Great spot, good drinks and great staff. Good place for an afternoon drink.
Good drinks and good guys who make and serve you extremely well! Keep up the good work guys!
Location. Location. Location.
Drinks were great. Service was very good and the view was 11/10.
Wasn’t super cheap but why would it be?
Lovely views, a lot cheaper than you expect based on the setting. Lovely museum currently with Van Gogh's sunflowers only €5 per person to wander round with a brief video of the history also. Guided tour €10 per person. I really enjoyed the Muskat sweet wine
We went here every day! Service was great, cocktails were awesome. Views are stunning. Music played throughout the day gives a great vibe. €5 for a sunlounger for the day. Well worth it 😁

(Translated by Google) Very pretty chapel in the countryside with a beautifully landscaped cemetery around it. Beautifully lit in the evening! On Sunday morning we noticed a service taking place outside the chapel in the open air - it seemed really great and relaxed, not so bitterly serious and forced... What's a real shame: the wall to the right of the entrance gate is unfortunately broken and in one place Strangely, there was a lot of rubbish lying around - somehow it didn't fit in with the otherwise well-kept overall picture. But I think/hope that this will still be taken care of.

Sehr hübsche Kapelle im Grünen mit einem schön angelegten Friedhof drum rum. Abends sehr schön beleuchtet! Haben am Sonntag Morgen mitbekommen, wie draußen vor der Kapelle unter freiem Himmel ein Gottesdienst stattfand - wirkte echt toll und entspannt, nicht so bitter ernst und gezwungen... Was sehr schade ist: rechts vom Eingangstor ist die Mauer leider kaputt und an einer Stelle lag komischerweise viel Müll rum - passte irgendwie so gar nicht zum sonst so gepflegten Gesamtbild. Aber ich denke/hoffe, dass sich darum noch gekümmert wird.

Rooms Cavtat Old Town, formerly known as Sobe More Cavtat, is a charming accommodation located in the coastal town of Cavtat, Croatia. The small old town exudes an authentic Croatian atmosphere with its narrow paths and historic buildings. The property consists of rooms that were originally 15th-century structures converted by the church that owns the property. Guests can enjoy a communal private courtyard for food preparation and access to a beach with sun loungers and a kiosk selling refreshments.
This is the 2nd time I have stopped here. It’s now called Sobe More Cavtat. Spent 3 nights and a week 5 years ago I wasn’t disappointed. Great location only 5 minutes walk around the old harbour to the church. The rooms are originally 15th century and have been converted by the church who own the property. There is a communal private court yard where food can be prepared. Outside the courtyard is a beach with sun loungers and a kiosk selling drinks and ice cream. Overall enjoyed the second time at Cavtat and would go back again

3 stars out of 5. You might ask why? Okay, where do I even start? There's zero and horrible room service, there are wasp nests all over by the room entrances, and there are like a thousand flies in the rooms. Literally flies EVERYWHERE. Bedroom, bathroom, shower, toilet...I am losing my sanity here. The only caretakers which do absolutely nothing in this place or the rooms. At the start of the day, all they do for you is just make the beds and that's it! They leave you with the flies and wasps. Other than that, the bed sheets are so thin, it feels like you're wearing nothing on top of you for cover! Dust is in every spot of the rooms.. So, generally, don't trust what the other comments say. This is a HELLHOLE. DO NOT GO HERE. Oh and also, the rooms are all the same size! They are extremely small-spaced. Giving this a 3 out of 5 stars, just because of my family's opinion. But personally, I'd choose 0.
Check in was a joke. They tried giving us 2 single beds when we booked a family room. The air conditioning didn't work. The outlets didnt work the TV didnt work and we spoiled the breast milk we brought for our baby because the damn fridge didnt work either. Horrendous experience with 2 small children.
Outstanding hotel for a very reasonable and affordable price. Location is gorgeous and the staff were excellent. Can really recommend if staying in the Cavtat/Dubrovnik area
Quick walk to the water. The home was very clean and the air conditioning was really cold. The view was amazing and the gardens and architecture made it a perfect paradise.
Great local village to visit and explore and enjoy the walks the people the food the bay
Location excellent and staff very hospitable. More could be done with the courtyard with a modest investment
Right at the water's edge. Great rooms.Very helpful staff.

Budva ballerina cappuccina
Mentioned on
Sights & Landmarks
Monuments & Statues
The Dancing Girl Statue in Budva is a bronze sculpture located between the old town and Mogren Beach. It's a symbol of the city, inspired by a local legend about a girl who waited for her sailor lover to return but tragically died on the same rocks where her statue now stands. Some believe it depicts a drowned girl, while others see it as an ordinary statue. The elegant pose of the topless girl has become iconic, with many visitors attempting to imitate it for photos.
The walk to Mogren Beach is incredibly romantic, with a path winding between cliffs and the sea. The monument along the way perfectly complements the experience, making it even more memorable.
Aleksandar D — Google review
We learnt about legends connected to Ballerina monument through walking tour. It is a beautiful symbol of the city, however gets crazy crowded all the time.
Absolutely gorgeous a must visit if you are in Budva. It is so captivating and if you are lucky you can also capture the sun or the moon in the photos as well.
One of the few places you can visit in Budva. Super close to Old Town and the way towards it offers great views of the see with outer Basilica walls. If you’d like some extra pictures, can go. But don’t get too upset if you didn’t get to chance to see it.
Beautiful little sculpture with a gread backdrop scenery of Budva old town. You can actually walk across the rocks behind railings and go up to it.
What a sight to behold! It’s gorgeous during a clear day and magical during the sunset. You cannot miss this if you’re in Budva. Just a couple of minutes of walk from the old town towards the ‘secret Mogren beach’. You have to be patient with crowds leaning over the railings or even getting on the rocks (which is indeed risky) for pictures. Take your time and appreciate the beauty. Please do not litter.
Was a great bronze statue, relative easy to find too and not far from the main gate of the old town of Budva. One thing that was not mention is you can only take picture of the statue from the direct front, as that would mean you would be in the sea water. Also that it can be crowded on the woodenpath as people stop by to take their photo of this statue.
Beautiful Budva ballerina. it’s a local symbol with a perfect photo view of the city walls. After that you can take a bath on the beach near by, just keep walking thru the path.

Park Milocher, located just a 15-minute ride from Budva in Montenegro, is renowned for its stunning public beach and picturesque surroundings. Visitors are advised to take a bus due to limited parking and high costs. While there are no amenities at the beach itself, a shop is available about 15 minutes uphill. The park offers shady spots for relaxation and a walk through it leads to breathtaking views of Saint Stephan island.
This park is a beautiful place. You can enjoy the walk in peace. Not that crowded around noon. You can see that they take care of the park. Nice place to enjoy the walk and have some peace. And lastly, nice view of the Sveti Stefan.

Very nice and special place, cosy park, beautiful sea, lush greenery. Good place for photographers and artists, very inspiring. Recommended
Don't miss this park. From Sveti Stefan you will walk for a few minutes through the park and end up at Milocer beach. The view that will appear in front of you is simply picturesque. The park is very green, clean and quiet. You can take beautiful photos and it is such an inspiring environment for painters.
Milocer Beach, Stefan Sveti, Montenegro: The world is here for the Stefan Sveti island and beach – which is cluttered and full of pebbles. But loop around, past the gorgeous Olive restaurant for Milocer Beach. Crescent-shaped with turquoise waters that draw gasps. The beach is pebbled but less so than the popular Stefan Sveti beach. Water is refreshingly cold and what’s with the public showers that don’t work and zero toilets? The panorama saved the day. #eatstylishtravelstylish
The most beautiful public beach (not for long as I heard 😞) in Montenegro!
Only 15 mins ride from Budva.
It’s better to take a bus since parking costs 3 euros per hour and most of the time it’s packed.
At the beach it self there is nothing so bring your own food and water. There is shop but 15 mins up hill.
You can walk through the park and reach the outstanding view over Saint Stephan island.
Please do take trash after you since this is one of the cleanest beaches. Let’s keep it this way. ☺️
Beautiful stone hotel with a beach beyond called queens beach. Need to park before the hotel as it is gated. Pebble beach. Amazing views of sveti Stefan.
I love the beach there sooo much best swimming spot i ever had
Beautiful place. You can walk, swim & have a nice time!

Slovenska Plaza Beach, located within walking distance from the Old Town of Budva, is one of the largest and most popular beaches in the area. It offers a range of activities including vibrant nightlife, cocktail bars, traditional cuisine restaurants, and various water sports such as jet skiing and parasailing. The beach spans about 5,000 feet and is surrounded by green hills with thatched umbrellas dotting the sandy shore.
Slovenska Plaža is the best beach I’ve ever been to. In the morning, the ocean is clear and you can see every fish swimming under you. There’s shops where you can buy water, snacks, and ice cream! When it’s a hot summer day in Budva, you won’t regret coming to this beach.
Emma — Google review
There are no showers or changing rooms. There are no barriers in the water, it is dangerous to swim because the ships pass too close. I do not recommend this beach!
This is a stone beach, but the stones and the sand are very painfull to walk on. The water is very clear, and there are small fish .
Amazing views, beautiful nature. But very very cold water. If you like to swim a lot, not suggested to choose this location. In case you want to relax with unbelievable views, it is best place to visit. Prices for 2 sun-beds and umbrella vary between 20-50 euro for full day.
Very good nature, very tasty food and very bad room cleaning, they just wet the floor and don't clean.
Nobody took out the waste from the litters
It's not the cleanest place on the Adriatic coast.
I like the place.. I don't like the service 🥳
The worst beach I've ever seen. Probably the worst time of the year (august) to see it but, so crowded and so much trash on the floor... it looked like a festival just ended. Montenegro has amazing nature to offer/show, unfortunately this beach is not a good example of that.
A dirty, neglected beach. I’ve been to different countries, but it’s the first time I’ve seen all the beaches packed with sunbeds at an unreasonable price! The sea is dirty, there’s filth everywhere, café prices are inflated, and the food is of poor quality.
Trash and litters everywhere, including towels, underwear, plastic garbage, and more.

The Bay of Kotor, often likened to a fjord, is a stunning natural wonder surrounded by rugged cliffs and charming towns. The historic town of Kotor, nestled within the bay, boasts well-preserved Baroque architecture and holds UNESCO World Heritage status. Perast, strategically positioned at the bay's entrance, was once a vital maritime center and is home to the Church of Our Lady of the Rocks on an artificial island.
One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen!!!! You have to visit and just drive round and enjoy the scenery!
Vanessa M — Google review
Went on a solo trip and booked an excursion to see the island in its entirety. Stopped at Bay of Kotor, and this place is beautiful. This is a must do as tourists from cruise ships and normal holiday makers swamped this stunning Bay. Restaurants and souvenir shops were abundant, and it was nice to pass the time in this amazing place.
Great place, stunning views. A must go if in Montenegro. Loads of boat tours to choose from!
Visited the Church Our Lady of the Rocks, the Blue Cave, and the Ex-submarine base.
It doesn't really surprise me that the Bay of Kotor is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Although very touristy, the bay is definitely worth a visit. The towns and villages around the bay, especially Herceg Novi, Tivat, Perast and Kotor, have many beautiful sights to offer, and of course a boat trip across the bay should not be missing from the to-do list. The views of the bay and the surrounding mountains are especially beautiful from the water. In short, the Bay of Kotor has a lot to offer the visitor!
Absolutely stunning! 👍
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The most beautiful coastal area in the whole world! There is no place that could be compared to it! Magical, welcoming, beautiful, amazing ~ and one and only: Boka-Kotor Bay & beautiful towns just on its coast!
My happy place under the Sun and stars!
I am here at home. ❤️❤️❤️
This bay is awesome. We had a speedboat cruise and it was great. The view of the bay from the mountains is amazing. You have to see the bay from different places.
The site belongs to the UNESCO list and one can right away see why. Very close to Dubrovnik, it offers stunning views and is a bit less over touristic, though still very touristic. Views from up the hill are worse the quite demanding hike... or you can take a car or bike up the serpentine.
For ones who miss the sun, the sea and the majestic mountains... a super city of freshness... both natural and historical buildings, definitely worth a visit

Porto Montenegro is one of the most beautiful places in all of Montenegro. It’s perfect for a relaxing walk, whether you’re with family, kids, or a loved one. The area is full of great restaurants, cafes, and bars — there’s something for everyone. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, with stunning views of the marina and mountains. A wonderful place to spend the day or evening — highly recommended!
Beautiful modern port with shops, cafes, restaurants and grocery market. The entire port is easily accessible by walking, with multiple small venues to check out, good coffee and a range of restaurants. The port also has top luxury stores throughout its area. Check it out if you’re around the area.
Porto Montenegro is the ultimate luxury marina experience in Tivat—world-class berths, stylish shops, gourmet dining, and cultural attractions set along a stunning waterfront. Ideal for yachting enthusiasts or anyone seeking a high-end seaside escape. A true Adriatic gem!
It's an OK place, very modern with lots of boats. Some expensive restaurants and shops.
Not really any history or culture, just a place to play for rich people. There are much nicer places to visit in Montenegro and in the Kotor area.
We’ve been based in Port Montenegro for four years now, and it just keeps getting better. The infrastructure is constantly evolving in the best possible way — everything is modern, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The entire marina is surrounded by lush greenery, which gives it a very relaxed and luxurious feel. The promenade is absolutely stunning, perfect for evening strolls or morning coffee with a view. There are also some truly fantastic cafés and restaurants — stylish, with great service and high-quality food. It’s a pleasure to be here year after year.
Beautiful place! Totally different vibe from the old Kotor or Budva cities.
Great for having a dinner in one of the fine dining restaurants nearby or just for a walk.
A lot of yachts, good looking people, places to sit down and enjoy the views. Very clean and modern place. Not that big, you can see all of it in 30 minutes. Also there are lots of luxury brand shops and delicious cafes (recommend the Kafeterija for coffee)
Very nice and upmarket marina.
Carparking was good with plenty of spaces.
Can see this becoming a bit of a go to place over the next few years once established.
Road in and out is a bit of pain.
To be fair the whole of Montenegro is quite difficult to get around in peak season as there's usually only one by bypass which connects everything and it does get rather busy.

Hostel Old Town Kotor
Mentioned on
Hostel
Sights & Landmarks
Hostel Old Town Kotor is a laid-back accommodation housed in a charming 13th-century stone building, offering both dorms and private rooms along with complimentary Wi-Fi. The hostel is known for its vibrant social scene, hosting daily sunset barbecues, party cruises, and pool parties to encourage interaction among guests. Situated on the outskirts of Kotor's picturesque Old Town, the hostel provides an authentic experience within a historic setting.
Hostel Old Town Kotor is a fantastic place to stay! The hosts and volunteers are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is great for meeting fellow travellers. We booked a private room, which was absolutely fantastic-honestly, it felt more like a hotel room than a hostel! Super comfortable and clean.
My only complaint is about the bathroom setup: since there’s no divider between the shower area and the toilet/sink, the bathroom floor often ends up wet, especially if previous guests don’t sweep up after showering. It’s a small inconvenience, but worth mentioning.
Overall, I would 100% recommend this hostel for anyone visiting Kotor. Great value, wonderful people, and a comfortable stay!
Akshay B — Google review
My group’s stay here was awesome! The front desk staff was very willing to help with any questions we had whether it was travel logistics or any information about the town. They helped us find hikes to do, food to try, and more. The rooms were well maintained and the bathroom was cleaned every day. Lastly, the events hosted the by hostel allowed us to connect with the other guests which made our experience feel very rewarding. Would highly recommend to all!
Honestly the room was very very small but it's okay. I took the ensuit room which means private. The mattress was was very very bad. The sheets where stiff and old, so it was not nice on the skin. The pillow was very uncomfy. And there were a lot of noise from downstairs. I'm not recommending. If you want a good night sleep you shouldn't go there.
I paid 5 Euros for breakfast, which was supposed to include tea or coffee. I asked for a coffee, but they only had pre-sweetened packets. I made a simple and basic request: a coffee without sugar.
The manager's reaction was unbelievable. She told me that in two years, nobody had ever made this request. She refused, told me to just drink tea, and then accused me of being rude for simply asking.
Instead of finding a solution—like sending an employee to a nearby shop to buy a simple jar of instant coffee—she escalated the situation by calling the owner.
The owner was even worse. He was immediately aggressive and threatened me, saying I was "playing with fire." He then asked how I had booked my stay (Booking.com, etc.), which was clearly an attempt to find out if I could leave a negative review. When I told him I hadn't booked through a website, his tone changed, but he continued to be hostile.
He and the manager both insisted I was being rude. The manager even mentioned that there were cameras, as if to imply I had been aggressive, which is a complete fabrication. I was calm; they were the ones who were hostile. The owner then wanted me to leave the hostel.
I have never experienced such terrible, aggressive service. This wasn't a complex request. It was a cup of black coffee without sugar. To be accused, threatened, and blamed for their failure to provide the most basic item is unacceptable. This is not how you treat a paying customer.
Old Town Kotor Hostel is a fantastic place to stay. The hosts and volunteers are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is ideal for meeting other travelers. I booked a shared room, which was absolutely fantastic; it was very clean, and you can tell they pay attention to that detail. Super comfortable.
The best hostel in the Balkans!! I was here as a guest in March and the atmosphere even then in the off season was immaculate, they make sure to take care of you and that you have a fun time even without the summer activities. I loved it so much that I came back as a volunteer for two and a half months. Hands down, the best experience of my travelling. Ridiculously amazing social environment, the fellow volunteers take care of the guests in a way I’ve never seen (hosting activities and showing the guests the best spots in their spare time). The housekeeping is kept to such a high standard as well which makes it so comfortable for the guests. I made connections to so many people and majority of them told me it was the best hostel they’ve ever been to and that it feels like home. Which is exactly what it is, a home away from home!! Milan cares so much about everyone’s experience and will never let anyone leave with a bad taste in their mouth. I couldn’t recommend this hostel more, it’s somewhere you absolutely can’t miss.
Loved this hostel so much. The place felt really safe, as a solo female traveler, and the staff is amazing. Especially Fatih, Roxie, Sami, Nick and Milan the manager made my stay so much fun. Really recommend to join all the events here!
Fantastic location in the old town. Staff was super nice and attentive to guests' needs. We got a private room which was clean with a beautiful view of the street below. AC was nice and strong. Breakfast every morning for 6€ and activities for 23€. Boat tour and sunset fort bbq were both great. Would definitely come back.

San Giovanni
Mentioned on
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
San Giovanni, also known as St. John, is a stunning medieval castle located on a picturesque hillside with sweeping views of the bay. The fortress hike is considered the top activity in Kotor, offering fantastic views of the Old Town and coastline while providing a glimpse into centuries of history. The fortress, built over 1,000 years beginning in the 9th century, showcases various civilizations and architectural styles.
I did this climb in April 2024. I started around 10:15 am. It was not too crowded on the way up, and it was cool when I started. The fee is now 15 Euros. The climb is steep and steady. There are stone stairs most of the way up. The view is worth the effort. Bring some water to begin, and there are a few vendors selling water about 2/3 up and also at the top. Climbing down, there were more people coming up, so will need to pass people on the stairs. In total, it took me around 3 hours, up, down, and exploring the fortress.
Lisa V — Google review
Took the free path which was even more comfortable than the 15€ stairs. Had to climb through a gap in the wall which was a lot of fun and not really that dangerous. Once we got to the top we had a beautiful view, the castle itself was a ruin ofcourse but still lovely and a bit maintained.
The hike is a bit tiring, especially in the sun, but the view from the top is really beautiful and totally worth it. You can see the whole bay and the rooftops of Kotor, it feels peaceful and magical up there.
On the way up, there are old walls and little ruins that make it feel like you’re climbing through history. The path is mostly stone, so good shoes help.
I’d recommend going early in the morning or before sunset when it’s not too hot. Don’t forget water!
The views from the top were absolutely stunning. The climb on the other hand is not for the faint of heart. It includes steep stairs, slippery stones, no railing and deep abysses. Truly an adventure but a bit risky too. Also a bit pricy with a fee of 15€ (July 2025), but I didn't regret it considering the view (Maybe the fee could be used for better upkeeping?!). Would do it again.
Great hike. Can do it for free from ladders of kotor. Amazing views at the top. Steep hike and gets hot I recommend going early in the morning
Entrance fee is €15 for the abandoned ruins. The view is not spectacular. You can see the old town of Kotor from here. It’s not worth going up to the fortress. The best view for taking pictures of Kotor is actually on the pathway after the Our Lady of Remedy church.
Beautiful walk around one hour each way. Spectacular views in both directions.
It's a long way up. On rainy days it will be very slippery. But the view totally worth it. Pay 15 euros at the entrance.

Saint Tryphon's Cathedral, located in Kotor, Montenegro, is a Romanesque Catholic church dating back to 1166. The cathedral houses a collection of gold and silver religious relics as well as stunning frescoes. It is one of only two Roman Catholic cathedrals in Montenegro and is dedicated to the town's patron saint. The cathedral has undergone several reconstructions due to earthquakes over the centuries but still retains its Romanesque architecture inside.
Saint Tryphon's Cathedral is located in the v center of the Kotor Old town. It was built in 1166 and one of Montenegro's picturesque sites. It has been reconstructed several times after several earthquakes. In the
earthquake in 1667, the entire frontage was destroyed, it was reconstructed with addition of the baroque bell towers. Worth visiting it.

Worth a visit. Lots of interesting artifacts on display including some 1200yr old human remains. A good view of the square
Only €4 entrance per person (cash only), pretty cathedral with a small museum upstairs with balcony overlooking the square. It is very well maintained and a must see in Kotor old town.
This time we visit the Roman Catholic cathedral, one of only two in Montenegro. Built on the site of a church dating back to 809, it has never been completely destroyed, despite numerous earthquakes, and its structure has changed each time it has been rebuilt. The interior is simple, devoid of opulence, gold, or jewels.
Only €4 entrance per person (cash only), pretty cathedral with a small museum upstairs with balcony overlooking the square.
Built on the site of the earlier church (809 by Andrija (Andreaccio) Saracenis), the cathedral was consecrated on 19 June 1166. Was seriously damaged and rebuilt after the 1667 Dubrovnik earthquake.
No better place to take part in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony. God Bless ✝️
Lovely little cathedral with a small museum upstairs and a view of the square below. The cathedral is fantastic from the outside but paying to view this I would suggest is a nice to have rather than a must do, but still a 4/5. Interesting place to visit but with the rest of Kotor to enjoy this is worth going into if you enjoy religios buildings.

Kotor Town Walls
Mentioned on
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Kotor City Walls are an incredible sight to behold in the Old Town of Kotor. Standing for over 1200 years, these walls have withstood numerous earthquakes and serve as a testament to the town's rich history and the resilience of its people. Originally constructed in the 9th century, they have been continuously modified and improved until the 19th century. The fortifications offer stunning views of Kotor and are particularly enchanting when illuminated at night.
Walking the Kotor City Walls is an unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking views with a deep sense of history. The climb is steep and can be quite a workout, especially on a hot day, but the panoramic views over the Bay of Kotor and the old town below are absolutely worth the effort. Each step up the stone path feels like a journey back in time, with ancient fortifications, churches, and gates whispering stories from centuries past.
Be sure to wear good shoes, bring water, and start early or later in the day to avoid the midday sun. It’s a must-do for history lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the magic of Montenegro from above. Highly recommended!

Great place to spend an afternoon walking about. Several friendly stray cats around. Two wheeler parking just outside with plenty of spaces. Lots of cafes, restaurants, gelato/ice cream parlour working the city walls. Pleasant experience overall.
Access to the city walls is free (as of 2025), and it’s really fun to walk around! The views are beautiful!
If you want to go higher, up to the area near the church, the entrance fee is €15 per adult.
It is a good place to visit. The restaurants inside old town is over priced. There are some hidden jewels in souvenir shops specially the hand drawn paintings. Lots of cats which makes the place worth visiting if you are a cat lover. Overall a very nice vibe for a day’s outing.
Kotor’s Old Town Walls offers a lot of interesting shops and sights to see. Once inside, you can find a lot of restaurants and shops. Walk further close to the walls and you’ll find entrance points to walk on the fortress’s walls.
There are a lot of hotels inside the area and navigating through them can prove to be a challenge especially if you have to drag with you your suitcase. The walkways are narrow and filled with tourists so be sure to check your timings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Parking is VERY difficult to find so make an effort to come to Kotor’s parking area very early to find a spot.
Old Town Kotor Montenegro
I traveled to Kotor alone and instantly fell in love with this place. I felt completely safe walking through the narrow cobblestone streets surrounded by ancient stone walls and mountain views that feel straight out of a storybook. It’s where history and modern life meet centuries old architecture filled with cafés, shops, and restaurants full of charm and character.
There are amazing hikes nearby too especially the fortress trail overlooking the bay, which offers one of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever seen. Between the turquoise water, the friendly locals, and the peaceful vibe, Kotor is a destination that truly captures your heart.
*UNESCO heritage site
Definetely one of my favourite parts of Kotor (aside from Cat Park and Guardian Dog). Make sure to take a walk, it has a great view!
We were out of season at the beginning of April
It was a bit cold
But it's just fun to walk in the old town on the walls, between the alleys, shops and cafes
We also climbed from the walls up but it was under renovation so we weren't allowed to go all the way up for the trail
There are all kinds of tourist hunters trying to sell a boat trip on the lake in the Bay of Kotor. It's nice, a bit long. Maybe in the summer it's nicer when you can get into the water and it's really cold in the boat. It's highly recommended to bring warm clothes
Another thing we were off-season but it's very busy, very congested and hard to find parking so if you're coming by car it's a bit not recommended, it's quite a nuisance and a pain

Our Lady of the Rocks
Mentioned on
Island
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Our Lady of the Rocks is a small man-made island with a 17th-century Roman Catholic church and museum. Visitors can embark on a day trip from Kotor, which includes stops at Bijela for swimming, Mamula Island, the Blue Cave, Yugoslavian tunnels, and Porto Montenegro for lunch. The tour culminates with a visit to Our Lady of the Rocks where guests can explore the church and museum before heading back to Kotor.
I wouldn't give anything different than 5 stars for this location.
It's a small picturesque island, easily accessible by boat from Perast (5 EUR per person, two way ticket, the boat is available every 10 minutes).
The Church has a fee, 3 EUR per person. It's small but beautiful, has a museum inside and you can learn some history for the area.
And the views from the island are more than spectacular.
The place is a must visit if you plan to go to Montenegro.
Violina P — Google review
Visiting Our Lady of the Rocks was an absolute highlight of my trip to Montenegro! Perched gracefully on its tiny man-made island in the Bay of Kotor, this stunning church feels like something out of a fairytale. The boat ride over is breathtaking, with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and sparkling Adriatic waters, and then suddenly the island appears—small, serene, and steeped in history.
The church itself is a gem, adorned with beautiful frescoes, intricate paintings, and an atmosphere that radiates peace and devotion. Every corner tells a story, from the legend of the seamen who created the island stone by stone, to the centuries of faith preserved within its walls. The museum attached is small but fascinating, housing a rich collection of artifacts and votive offerings left by sailors.
What struck me most was the sense of harmony between the island, the church, and the surrounding nature—it feels like a sacred meeting point between humanity and the sea. Whether you’re religious, a history lover, or simply someone seeking beauty and tranquility, Our Lady of the Rocks is a must-visit.
The church is located on a small island and the atmosphere is very pleasant when you get there. The island is in the middle of the Bay of Kotor, you can see Perast well from the island.
According to the legend, local seamen found an icon of Madonna and child on a rock sticking out of the sea way back in the 15h century. Thinking it a miracle, they started to slowly bring rocks to create this artificial island upon which a Catholic church was eventually erected. Even today there is an event called фашинада/fašinada whereby locals bring more rocks to drop into the sea and, thus, expand the island further.
A fascinated story, and indeed, the church and the island are undeniably beautiful, a true pearl of the sea so to say.
However, lamentably, it is precisely this sublime beauty that attracts and uncomfortable amount of people to the island, which renders visiting this place a bit less pleasant than it would be otherwise.
Also, to enter the church itself requires paying as well, which is not something I can subscribe to, but if you're willing, make sure to have some cash at the ready if you want to get inside.
It’s a nice little place. We went kayaking to the place and could leave it there safely. The church is a scam, you have to pay to enter a small church when most are already paying to come to the island by boat?… it’s a cute little place for some pictures, but you’ll have seen everything in about 5-10 minutes.
This place is a must-visit when you’re in Perast! Take the small boats to get there and don’t be tricked by the people at the parking entrance asking for €20 per person. The island is beautiful for photos and has a special sense of peace. I couldn’t leave without mentioning the photo of Mother Teresa, our great Albanian woman, above which visitors had left their rosaries 🙏
Nice little island, €10 for a short boat ride over.
It has some great views and a small museum, but don’t visit for too long.
The church sits on an artificial island created by bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks.
Renovated in 1722.
There's an entrance fee and it can be quite crowded so you'll have to wait in line to enter.
Don't forget to take a picture of the beautiful ceiling paintings.

Hercegovačka Gračanica Temple
Mentioned on
Orthodox church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Perched on a hill above Trebinje, the Hercegovačka Gračanica Temple is a stunning Byzantine-style church and monastery that offers breathtaking views of the city and surrounding mountains. This Serbian Orthodox church boasts colorful wall frescoes, a gilded altar, and houses the tomb of renowned poet Jovan Dučić.
Fabulous place to visit.
We walked/hiked. Took 30mins from the old town bridges.
Was easier than expected.
Don't follow the road used by cars - it's longer.
Google maps beforehand for a short cut through a quiet neighbourhood, then a 400m clearly marked track up the last part of the hill.
Sunset is best.
Lovely place to have a drink.
Everything is fresh & new. Only built in 2000.
Stefan P — Google review
Visited in April 2024
This monastery is special because it is a replica of the one in Kosovo, hence its importance to followers of the Serbian Orthodox faith.
Whether inside or outside the buildings, one is struck by how peaceful it is, not to mention the beautiful views all around you.
The ceiling of the main church rivals someone the best in the world and the tomb of Jovan Ducic can be seen in the corner.
In short, do not miss if you are in the area. The climb to the top is a little steep but you can also drive, if need be.
The Church of the Annunciation, being located on the top of the hill, offers an excellent panoramic view of the city of Trebigne, a beautiful, well-kept and quiet Orthodox place of worship. In the churchyard there is also a restaurant with a terrace where we had breakfast. Parking and toilets are free.
What an amazing temple and area this place is. Once you drive all the way to the top you are greated by such an amazing scenery. I could not believe how beautiful it was. One of the best hill view in Bosnia. The inside of the temple is also one of the pretiest I have ever seen. If you are in the area I highly recommend to go there and visit the temple and admire the amazing landscape displayed in front of you.
A beautiful temple on top of a hill with great views on the city of Trebinje. There's also a cafe on top. The only downside is the way there, if you are travelling by car you can park there comfortably but by foot it's a 2.5km hike from the city center uphill.
Beautiful church perched on a small hill and has a great view over the whole of Trebinje.
There’s a cafe next door and a huge carpark. There was an event when we went and the place was crowded and we almost couldn’t find a parking lot but the vibes were great.
We walked up from Trebinje’s old town—about 30 minutes of gentle uphill, with birdsong and cypress shade as our companions. The path winds through quiet neighborhoods before opening up to a breathtaking view: the Hercegovačka Gračanica Temple, perched like a crown on Crkvina Hill.
The temple itself is a serene masterpiece. Byzantine-style architecture, vivid frescoes, and a gilded altar that catches the light just so. Built to honor poet Jovan Dučić’s final wish, it’s both a spiritual sanctuary and a poetic tribute. Don’t miss the embedded stone from Kosovo—a subtle nod to heritage and memory.
There’s a cozy café nearby if you want to linger with the view. Whether you walk or drive, this place rewards you with peace, perspective, and a panorama that feels like a blessing.
Beautifull church with a great view on the city

Old Ribnica River Bridge
Mentioned on
Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Old Ribnica River Bridge, located in Podgorica, is a historical landmark with typical Ottoman architecture. It spans the Ribnica river and is situated in the old part of the city. The bridge dates back to Roman times and was restored by the Ottomans in the 18th century. Surrounded by a beautiful park, it offers a serene environment for leisurely walks and relaxation.
The bridge itself is full of history but nothing too special. The highlight is the park surrounding it instead, it's quiet and chill, perfect for a short afternoon walk.
Yuhng Y — Google review
At the end of July, it was a rather sad experience. No water below the bridge. The bridge itself is nothing special. Two stars only because this was still the most beautiful place we could find in Podgorica. Podgorica is definitely not worth visiting.
Podgorica isn't a place for tourists. They mostly visit Kotor Bay or the coast instead of the capital. At some point I can understand why but Podgorica has something very different that is worth to explore in my opinion, even if you just spend 2 hours in this city. This bridge is such a charming calm place with a waterfall and a little gorge. I can't recommend this place enough, I liked it a lot!
You should visit and take a bikini or shorts for swimming in the lake. This is an amazing Ottoman work, and right below it you can definitely swim in the lake. There’s also a small, cozy café where you can grab a drink.
bridge is cool and roman in origin. don't hate the bridge just bc there is no water. the bridge is not responsible for rain season
Beautiful spot
Nature in city centre including a dip in chilled fresh water
Small cafe
And water front seats
In august there was no water flow under bridge but still beautiful i guess.
The Old Ribnica River Bridge is one of Podgorica’s oldest landmarks, dating back to Roman times. Nestled at the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers, it offers a charming glimpse into the city’s history and a peaceful spot to enjoy the view.”

Orthodox Temple of Christ's Resurrection
Mentioned on
Orthodox church
Sights & Landmarks
The Orthodox Temple of Christ's Resurrection in Podgorica is a modern and monumental church with intricately carved stonework and an ornate interior adorned with gilded frescoes. Constructed between 1993 and 2003, this popular landmark features glossy yet tasteful interiors, reminiscent of the cathedral in Kotor. The cathedral's vibrant frescoes depict biblical scenes as well as local historical stories, including a controversial depiction of Hell featuring political figures.
This is one of the most magnificent and peaceful places I have visited in Podgorica.
The architecture of the Orthodox Temple of Christ's Resurrection is simply breathtaking.
Every detail, from the marble facade to the stunning mosaics, reflects deep spiritual and cultural symbolism.
At night, the temple is beautifully illuminated, creating a magical and serene atmosphere.
The interior is just as impressive, with grand chandeliers, vibrant frescoes, and a profound sense of tranquility.
Visitors are welcome to enter respectfully, and the ambiance encourages quiet reflection and admiration.
There is ample parking space nearby, and the area feels very safe and accessible.
It’s not only a place of worship but also a cultural gem worth exploring.
Whether you're religious or not, this site offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Podgorica.
Highly recommended for photographers, history lovers, and travelers alike.

Grand & spectacular Orthodox church, both outside & inside. Awesome piece of architecture & art. But nobody respect the solemness of this holy place. Men & women went in with tank top & shorts, exposing their shoulders & knees. The 2 young guys working there didn’t bother at all.
Extremely beautiful place! Definitely worth seeing if you visit Podgorica. Inside this cathedral looks magical! Near the entrance there are 2 souvenir shops, so you can buy something as a memory from this place, I bought magnet) Probably the most beautiful place in Podgorica
For a cathedral modest in size, but magnificent on the inside and unique on the exterior. The reliefs on the outer walls are great.
This was a spectacular Church in Podgorica. The design reminds you of much older classical designs that are rarely seen constructed with this eye for history. The murals throughout the church have been painted by true artist and are an endless joy to find the stories of the bible adorned across the walls and ceilings of this beautiful Church! Consecration occurred on October 7, 2013, on the occasion of the 1700th anniversary of the Edict of Milan on freedom of religion, and it was attended by the heads of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, Serbian Patriarch Irinej, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, Jerusalem Patriarch Theophilus III and Russian Patriarch Cyril, together with Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral Amfilohije and other Metropolitanate clerics.
Not to be missed!!!
This is a such a peaceful, sereen church in a nice neighborhood. The parking next to it is cheap (we payed 50 cent for 45 min) we were with a large mobilehome. There a cafe with a small children playground next to it, maybe not bad if they would clean it a bit and repair the broken items.
This is an impressive and beautiful landmark in Podgorica. The architecture is stunning, both inside and out, with intricate details and vibrant frescoes that capture your attention. The sheer size of the building and the peaceful atmosphere inside make it a wonderful place to visit, whether for worship or to appreciate the art and history. The only downside was that it can get a bit crowded with tourists at times, but overall, it’s a must-see when in Podgorica.
A Must-Visit in Podgorica! This stunning church is one of Podgorica’s top highlights. Its magnificent architecture stands out, both inside and out, with breathtaking frescoes that leave a lasting impression. Located in a peaceful area, it offers a sense of serenity and spirituality. The church is beautifully lit at night, adding to its charm. Best of all, entry is free, and there’s a souvenir shop nearby. If you’re visiting Podgorica, this is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss!

Wow, got given the evil eye so hard by a church employee I turned around a left. Never seen anything like that in a church in my life. Not even close.
Was on my way home from the park and I happened to see the church. Thought it looked worth visiting, certainly not with the staff there.
I had just entered the courtyard, wasn't even 30 ft to the door when this lady was giving me a death stare like "what do you think your doing here". The gate was open of course.
What a ugly blemish on an otherwise perfect day of interacting with the locals.
Looked like a great church and I'm sure this one employee does not represent the attitude of the whole staff. That being said, the situation was so disgusting that I feel like bringing attention to it.
I've been churchs, mosques, temples, all over the world and never seem anything even close to this.
A good place to visit in Podgorica. Peaceful ambience inside the building, with some religious (Catholic) items to buy.
A small church, but pretty. Worth it if you combine it with a stroll in the park next to it, which has a beautiful view of the city and surroundings.
Very small old church in a wonderful settinh
Well worth a visit. Small be beautiful with plenty of beautiful artwork that needs to be seen.
Nice little church to visit surrounded by nature.
Peaceful and serene, great to visit before entering the Gorica park.

Ostrog Orthodox Monastery
Mentioned on
Monastery
Sights & Landmarks
Ostrog Orthodox Monastery, dedicated to Saint Basil of Ostrog, is a 17th-century pilgrimage site in Montenegro. It was rebuilt in the 1920s and is visited by pilgrims, religious tourists, and travelers who come to pay homage to the miraculous relics of St. Vasilije of Ostrog. The monastery is perched on a cliff face 900m above the Zeta valley, making it a unique and spiritually significant location for Orthodox Christians.
I know that everyone is going for a different problems they might face, whether is health or other issues. But the negativity the people are bringing is just not right.
We are all there to find out peace. I have to say at the moments I did. I enjoyed my barefoot walking on the stairs from the parking to the monastery. At the monastery as well. But I had to isolate mentally in order to find the peace. The people are yelling and annoyed by everything. Like, all right people, we are all waiting in line for the same purpose, that's why we are there. There is no need to skipping the line and playing smart. Regarding the sleeping, yes it is on the ground and there are a lot, but a lot of blankets enough for everyone. Don't grab it, don't push it. There is no your space or my space for sleeping. It is open for everyone and It is just a corner where you need to calm and huddle and nap, you are not in a hotel there to sleep in luxury and take the whole space. But intolerance was way over the head to many people,even to the guards that are working there which are constantly yelling. It doesn't matter if there are many people or not every day, respect to each other, helping around, navigating and maybe creating some rules might help. Paint some lines for sleeping, where people need to make open space to the toilet or the water, because skipping on the blankets makes them mad. And please oh please clean those toilets. The toilets are so far away, but the container trash is so close that people are practically sleeping in front of them. It is a holy place, I would love to go again, maybe at different period of the year (definitely not summer again)

you are in the area, I definitely recommend a visit. It’s best to go early in the morning, as it gets very crowded later on. There are two parking areas available – one at the base and another higher up for cars. The place itself is beautiful and has a spiritual atmosphere, though it can get quite busy with many visitors.
Beautiful and authentic monastery.
Half an hour is enough to look around. No caffe or restaurant there, probably because it's an active monastery.
A shop with icons, crosses and other religions staff as well as some souvenirs is present on site.
Road to it is quite slippery due to a lot of stones in asphalt mass - be careful especially if road wet.
Interesting place to visit. Neat how they've perfectly blended in the building into the rocks. Looking at the amount of parking places around here and the waiting line structures at the entrance it can get crazy busy. When we were here end of October nobody was here. If the barrier to the last segment is open, you can just drive through it and park your car right in front of this place for free. Quite a few parking places there. We started by parking at the last official parking lot before the barriers at first, but from there it's still quite a climb to get to this monastery so we turned around and decided to drive all the way up, which was perfectly fine.
The views over the valley are nice. Not much to see other than that. You can get inside some rooms of the building, but it's not that interesting. If you don't hold a religious relationship with this place, it's nice for a quick visit, but otherwise, especially when it's busy, I would say skip it.
A beautiful monastery in the middle of a mountain. The walk up is a big one and i would definitely recommend bringing water and good shoes on a hot day.
We waited for about 10 minutes to get into the monastery itself and we had to wear a little piece of clothing to cover our knees.
It more than worth it to visit this place!
A trip to Montenegro should include a visit to this incredible Monastery. Many go as a Pilgrimage, but no matter why you choose to visit, it's can experience not to miss. There are a couple parking lots. The upper lot is the best option, but still requires over 150 steps to climb.
The place is a must visit regardless of your religious beliefs. For those who believe - it's considered the most sacred place in Montenegro and probably one of the most visited for the pilgrimage in the entire Balkans. For those who not too much in religion - the monastery was built in the vertical cliff high in the mountains in the 17th century. Not the everyday sight, isn't it? The place is well known for the miracles happening there. Those who come there for the pilgrimage walk 3000 steps upstairs barefoot. Those who come just to see can drive up the slope and walk the remaining part from the parking lot along the zigzag road or take the same steps. Cars with disabled persons or small babies can drive up to the top straight to the monastery. The views from the top are stunning and tend to set you to the meditation. Those who believe can enter the small chapel with 17th frescoes and approach the remains of Saint Basil of Ostrog, pray, get the blessing, it's a very peaceful and blessing place.
Not worth the stair climbing and the walk.
The building is kind of impressive and the view is nice, especially from the top balcony.
The parking near the monastery is only for disabled people and (at least that’s what the sign says; we were not allowed there). So, if the general parking is far, you have to climb a lot of unsafe and unstable stairs.

Morača is a prominent feature of the city, along with other rivers like Ribnica, Zeta, Cijevna, Sitnica and Mareza. It is the largest river in the area and flows through Podgorica, separating the new city from the old city. Originating in northern Montenegro, it eventually flows into Lake Skadar. The canyon of Morača River offers breathtaking views despite being affected by drought.
Extra ordinary canyon with great dimensions and views, crystal clear water, highly recommend to visit early in spring or autumn. Complicated arrival by car fom Most Pjenavac, try access from

Serene river crosses Podgorica!
Beautiful canyon which road is following with many tunnels and then going up to the mountains covered in mist. Road should be better maintained and renovated but it is also amazing to see what was done in the past without modern technology.
Breath taking views.... Untouched nature. . Ok rest stop.
What a beautiful and scenic lake. The water here is so clear and blue, and the beautiful rocks that surround the lake are great to sit on. There was almost no shade so keep that in mind, and try not to get too close to the trees since there are a ton of mosquitoes there. Keep this in mind and you will have a great time here. The lake is not crowded at all and it's so quiet here that it makes a fantastic place to rest.
Sunset -river Moraca
Great scenery, very old road through the mountain. Lots of vehicles are passing by here, so it's kinda hard to find the space to take some photos.
Beautiful river. Just the canyon part was not very well described and there are hard places for kayakers.

Surprisingly good lake for kayaking (no kayak rentals though), with clean water and nice view of the mountains close to Niksic. Only a little bit more than 1 hour from Durmitor, which makes it a perfect destination if the weather is bad up there.
Wonderful nature, perfect for bird-watching, cycling, walking, meditating, camping, having picnics, and lots of other amazing outdoor activities! Always delighted to come back here! ❤❤❤
Decent. Over-needed showers. No trash cans. Prices are normal. Decent service.
Very nice place for chilling near the city. It has beach and caffe on the bank
A beautiful place.

Nevidio Canyon, the latest addition to Europe's tourist attractions, allures climbers with its spectacular narrow gorges.

The crystal clear water and serene ambiance make it an ideal place for swimming and rejuvenation. Visitors can also join David and Ana from the intimacy project online for yoga sessions every day at the eco-sell Nevidio.
Marco, Bogdan, and Luka are super nice guides! From Montenegro-Canyoning. Attentive, clear instructions, help overcome any fear, take lots of videos and photos. Will stay with you until you're safely back, even if you fall behind a little. Lots to see and explore!
P B — Google review
It was an amazing experiense, and we enjoyed it very much! All instructions were clear and simple, from the starting point (sent by whatsapp), gear, how to behave, safety. The whole route was very beautiful, Marco helped us and took care of everything. Very recommended, but note that you have to be in shape, and have at least some basic highking and swimming skills.
Thank you, Marco, for a great canyoning at Nevidio!
Just a wee explore of the top of the Nevideo slot canyon. Don't forget you need to pay the park entry and parking fees, 1e pp + 1e parking.
While most reviews mention going with a guide, the start of the canyon is easily accessible (and extremely beautiful) without one. There are plenty of pools to swim in and you can happily spend a whole day exploring - also great for kids. There were hardly any people as well, a real gem.
One of their guides wouldn't let me continue past the start of the trail when he found out I had diabetes, because he thought it was too much of a risk! I'm an experienced hiker and have done similar things before. I've never experienced such disrespect and it ruined all of my daughter's and my plans for the day and we left s disappointed that we didn't get the canyoning experience we were looking forward to.
I just went canyoning and had the absolute best tour guide Marco imaginable! He made sure we felt completely safe at every moment – even me, someone with a real fear of heights. Thanks to his calm, confident guidance, I didn’t feel anxious at all, and my friend (who has no fear of heights) had the time of her life. He created the perfect balance between adventure and security, and made the whole experience incredibly fun. I can’t recommend him enough – truly the best guide you could ever ask for!
Great experience canyoning with this group. Top notch guides were friendly and helpful. Stunning beautiful canyons and great fun!
Stunning place

I am speechless by how stunning this lake is. It felt like paradise, literally. Don’t miss this!
Wow. Stunning! So quiet. There is nothing on it, anywhere else world be covered in boat trips, canoe's etc. We did as a little boat trip around it & never saw anyone else & think this boat is the only one on the lake. Just beautiful & even more so when the sun is out! (& with a beer in the hand).
Amazing lake with an amazing view and drive around it
Beautiful lake! The drive by it is lovely. Lots of pretty places to take pictures
One of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in my entire life ❤️
Beautiful lake with an incredible emerald color. It’s an artificial lake thanks to the dam but it’s super wild and you can swim in it of course.
Beautiful lake. One of the highlights of Montenegro. Don't miss it!

Bobotov Kuk is an 8,278-ft. mountain in Durmitor, offering two hiking routes to the summit and stunning panoramic valley views. The Durmitor massif boasts 18 glacial lakes at heights over 1500 meters, known as Gorske Oci or "Mountain Eyes," along with 748 springs of pure mountain water and ancient forests.
Nice view around the dumitor national park. You can reach the peak by cable car. Up then, you can walk a bit uphill to enjoy the great view. Highly recommended
Norman G — Google review
Did today hike to the viewpoint just before the summit peak but above the pass (red marker on screenshot).
Hike to the pass:
The hike itself can be considered of medium/hard difficulty due to the rock scrambling required. There is a cabled section as well as some steep incline portions but nothing too crazy for experienced hikers.
Definitely good hiking shoes are needed,
especially on the return. Can be challenging for non avid hikers.
Hike from pass to scientic viewpoint (red marker):
This is the section in which people mentioned snow. We saw a few people pass on the snow, but without crampons I do not believe it's worth the risk. That's why instead we walked around the snow section on loose rocks - if you look closely at the photo you can see a person who does exactly that.
Viewpoint to summit:
Haven't done it. It's the most dangerous part with confusing trail, snow and step rock scrambling.
Personal opinion:
Making it to the scenic viewpoint above the pass is extremely rewarding. The views are amazing.
Amazing peak. It is high, most of the path is quite steep. The last part is very steep and dangerous, a bit exposed. You have to be careful and do it in a good weather. If there very is sunny and dry there isn't any risk here. Views are amazing, you can see Albanian and Bosnian peaks from it. Also there is a beautiful view to Zabliak, and both Tara and Susica canyons. Trail is well marked and can be done from Sedlo pass (longer) or shorter way (you need to drive 2 more km from Sedlo).
Wonderful hike from Sedlo to the top of Bobatov Kuk. Approximately 6km up and 6km back, total elevation around 950m. It should take around 4h hours up and 4 hours down with breaks. Saw 25 balkan chamoises.
Bobotov kuk, i did not plan a day for this, i started the walk at 5:10 in the morning. I bought a great flashlight so i was able to see through the path.. “note, i do not recommend this route to be started in the dark”. The route was nice, the marking was good, but having the map on your watch or phone is recommended. Because i was the first at the parking i got the majestic but weird advantage of getting the bobotov kuk dog to do the entire hike together with me, the views are amazing. 10/10 worth it.. but if you try this. Make sure you have a decent physical condition. Because the last 2k up. It will knock you out😎.
We had started our hike in Zabjak! It is a long way and very hard to get there, lots of rocks and level elevation is crazy. But we did it, it took us 11 hours with all of stops.
Lovely hike in Montenegro with stunning scenery. Big recommendation if you are in the area and look for challenging but rewarding day hike! ⛰️
We (m, 26; f, 24) started from the parking spot (labeled 'Mountain pass Sedlo' on Google), ascended into the basin and followed the trail until we reached the bottom of the final ascend to Bobotov Kuk.
From there its all about endurance and patience. Take your time, find your pace and you'll slowly ascend to the top. I agree that the final sequence is a bit sketchy but I would consider it still absolutely doable for almost everyone. Select your steps carefully and you'll be rewarded with a beautiful 360° view of northern Montenegro.

Climbed it in first week of June . The peak was not accessible because of the snow. Otherwise great 10km hike. Took us 6,5hours with multiple rests and lunch brake.
