Lovely park. Serene walk along the lake banks. Take into account that the trails are not always clearly marked, and a full walk around the lake could include some challenging terrain (eg climbing with a rope rail) and may take up to 3 hour. Get some water and ensure you have sufficient daylight.
Adi S — Google review
** An Absolute Gem of a National Park ** Breathtaking scenery everywhere you look. Well marked trails suiting different fitness levels. Parking can be bit tricky and €3 per hour. There are 2 entrances to the park one with a shorter hike than the main entrance. Can have a dip in the Crno Jezero ( Black lake ) after a hike to cool off. 100% recommended.
Tharindu N — Google review
An incredible natural park where every corner surprise you more and more. I high recommend doing the entire rout by car so you can stop at all the viewpoints. We had a lot of fog, but it was still spectacular. We can’t wait to come back with better weather!
Albert G — Google review
I have just spent some time in Durmitor National Park in Montenegro. Based on what I can tell, it is a breathtaking park with lots to see and do. I do not recommend coming in October. Stay at Hotel Pavlović for a “ski lodge” atmosphere, hot water, delicious breakfast and restaurant offerings, domestic wine and great and knowledgeable staff.
Sarah C — Google review
It's hard to describe in words all the beauty of Durmitor National Park, which has so much to offer every nature lover. Each visit here brings a new round of enjoyment and rest for the soul and body. I would recommend to everyone to come and stay at this beautiful mountain and in this wonderful national park.
Dejan J — Google review
The Durnitor National Park is so much more than words can describe. We looked at the reviews before going and we have to admit - we weren't expecting that much. As the time was flying we even considered not going due to timeframe. Fortunately we still went. All we did was drive through the mountains on the narrow road with lot's of opportunities to stop. It was rainy, windy and cold and still it was the best choice! We happend to get there just near the sunset time and the clouds, mountains and sun altogether - it was breathtaking. We just stopped the car, stood there and watched in silence. Majestetic! Amazing! The road is not bad at all. It is narrow, but you have plenty of broader places to reverse to if need be. We did not meet any buses. We went in the end of september. There was no fee - at least we did not see anywhere where to pay 🤷‍♀️ Defenetly a must-visit place!
Meelika S — Google review
An amazing national park and a must visit for any trip to the mountains of Montenegro. We started our time at Zbaljak, with the black lake, then drove the durmitor ring road in a clock wise direction. There are stunning views and nice short and ling trails in Sedlo, bobotov kuk and other places. We spent one night in Nedajno village at a very cute chalet and completed the trip the second day after a visit to the curevac peak. Would highly recommend sleeping in a village inside the park and not just in Zbaljak. It was very relaxing. Weather is on the cold side in late September so be prepared and probably best to come earlier if planning on camping.

Monastery

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled in the picturesque Moraca Valley, the Moraca Monastery, established in 1252 by Stefan Vukanovic of the Serbian Nemanjic dynasty, is a true gem of Montenegrin culture. This stunning Orthodox monastery showcases exquisite Rascian architecture and boasts an impressive collection of rare frescoes that captivate visitors. Even if you're not typically drawn to religious sites, a stop here is highly recommended due to its serene surroundings and breathtaking landscapes.
It is very beautiful and peaceful here. The courtyard and surrounding area are incredibly well-kept. You can go into a large church and a small old one, more like a cell, only you can't take pictures inside. There is a small bell tower, you can drink and wash yourself with holy water, sit in incredible peace on a bench, see the local apiary and carefully grown flowers.

The wall frescos in the monastery are just amazing. You have to go there to see that, no pictures were allowes to take inside. Unfortunately there was a really angry woman who does not like European youngsters because most of them wore too short clothes. To go there women ans girls especially! should covere their skin (sholders and knees).

The Millennium Bridge in Podgorica is a modern, elegant crossing. Great for a stroll and city views.
Yossi E — Google review
The Millennium Bridge is one of Podgorica’s most iconic landmarks. Its modern design is sleek and impressive, especially when lit up at night. The views from the bridge, overlooking the Morača River, are quite picturesque and make for a nice walk or photo spot. It’s a simple but striking piece of architecture that adds character to the city. The area around the bridge is well-maintained, though it can get busy with foot traffic during peak times. Overall, it’s a great spot to visit for both locals and tourists.
Enoch O — Google review
Probably the most famous landmark in Podgorica. Cool modern design and great views over the Morača River. It’s not a place where you spend a lot of time, but it’s nice to walk across, take a few pics, and enjoy the scenery—especially around sunset. If you’re in town, it’s worth checking out.
Haytham A — Google review
Great place to stop by if you’re walking around Podgorica. The view of the bridge is awesome—especially with the mountains in the background and the river below. There’s a little riverside café tucked under the trees that’s super chill, with outdoor seating right by the water. Nice for a drink or just to sit and enjoy the scenery. It’s quiet, not too touristy, and feels a bit hidden away. Definitely worth checking out if you’re nearby.

The Millennium Bridge is a cool, modern landmark right in the same area as the Vladimir Vysotsky Monument. It’s got a sleek design and offers a great view over the river and surrounding park. It’s especially nice to walk across around sunset or just sit nearby and enjoy the atmosphere. The whole area feels open and relaxing, with a nice mix of nature and urban scenery. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the neighborhood.

Orthodox Temple of Christ's Resurrection

Mentioned on 
+3 other lists 
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
Jasmin M — Google review
For a cathedral modest in size, but magnificent on the inside and unique on the exterior. The reliefs on the outer walls are great.
Evangelos P — Google review
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!!!
Kirk B — Google review
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.
Parisa D — Google review
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.
Enoch O — Google review
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!

Ostrog Orthodox Monastery

Mentioned on 
16 lists 
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)
Martina D — Google review
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.
El B — Google review
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.
Alex S — Google review
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.
Koen Z — Google review
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!
Marijn P — Google review
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.
Debbie F — Google review
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.

Bodies of Water
Nestled within Durmitor National Park, Crno Jezero, also known as Black Lake, is a stunning glacial lake surrounded by pine-covered mountains. This picturesque destination offers a variety of activities such as hiking, swimming, and kayaking. Visitors can take a leisurely 3km walk from Zabljak to reach the largest of the eighteen glacial lakes in the area.
Beautiful place in the Montenegro mountains. Not much water compared to 2 years ago. Still look gorgeous. Take an easy hike around the lake or you can go to the peak Bobotov kuk 👍

The lake is 10min on foot from the parking and entrance. Paved path, playground on the way. On the lake there are bars and food but we didn’t try any. You can walk around the lake and swim, it is beautiful.

The lake is beautiful, we were there after snow - it looks stunning! The lake is surrounded by a forest and you can walk around. 5 minutes walking from parking (1.5 e/h), very recommended.

Great experience, awesome view and a must visit attraction of Durmitor park. There are two parking spaces when you enter the lake area, I parked in the second one in the left road which is narrower and parking was free as of 26th of October 2025. During autumn and winter the lake is separated in two because of a shallow narrow pass between them and the locals recommend to visit the lake in late spring when the weather is more stable and the the lake is at its max level due to snow melt.
Christian — Google review
Black Lake in Montenegro is one of the most breathtaking natural wonders I’ve ever visited. Nestled in the heart of Durmitor National Park, the lake feels like a scene from a fairytale – surrounded by dense pine forests and framed by majestic mountain peaks. The water is crystal clear, with a magical shift in colors depending on the light and time of day, ranging from deep emerald to shimmering turquoise. The walking trail around the lake is well-maintained and offers plenty of peaceful spots to sit and take in the view. It’s an easy hike that lets you appreciate the changing perspectives of the lake and the surrounding mountains. In the summer, the air is fresh and cool, making it a perfect escape from the heat, while in the winter, the snowy landscape makes the area look absolutely enchanting.

Very beautiful! Water with unique color (in pictures) Parking is 9 euro for 3 hours. Enterance is another 5 euro.

The lake views are breathtaking. Notice that the direction signs are in local language and not in English. From the parking on the street there is about a 3 min walk or take the little train. When you see the lake turn left ( otherwise you’ll walk in opposite direction and you won’t be able to see the signs that warn from the dangerous routes). I the route to your left is the shortest way to the path between the big and the small lake in which you can decide if you want the short route or the longer one. Around the lake there are three kinds of routes- the easiest one is to the benches of the lake. If you further 30-40 minutes there is the mid difficulty route that goes slightly into the forest ( has short parts which are challenging) and fit deeper in the forest there is the most challenging route. For some reason they don’t provide maps. Also start dogs alone, so if you are a dog lover bring in advance food for them. Montenegrians are lovely but their attitude towards dogs is incomparable: stray neglected dogs all over the Zabeljk village.

Park Milocher

Park
Outdoor Activities
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.

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. ☺️

The Library In The Citadel

Mentioned on

Library
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Sites
The Library in the Citadel is a small but historically rich part of the Budva citadel, which has been expanded and enhanced by different ruling empires. The barracks wing, constructed by Austria-Hungary in 1836, is the largest section of the citadel. Visitors can enjoy a stunning view from the top of the citadel for a fee. Inside, there's a modest library with an assortment of books on various subjects and even some unexpected items.
Two libraries are included in the fortress tour. At the lower level, there is also an exhibition of ships, while at the top you get an amazing view. Definitely worth a visit. The entrance fee is €4.40.
El B — Google review
Absolutely not worth paying 4.5€. Nice view from the top but the library is just two small rooms with a random collection. The museum was also very underwhelming. No insights on the building history whatsoever. Only accept cash.
Ieva Č — Google review
When you buy a ticket to the citadel they say that there are two libraries, a museum, models of old ships and an observation deck. In fact, the two libraries are just shelves with books that you can't read, the ship models are a small room with different models of ships that have nothing to do with Budva, just bought at a flea market. The only thing is the observation deck, from which you can see the city. If you are ready to pay 5.5 euros for a photo, then this is for you. Otherwise, it's a scam, you pay for something that is not there. A typical scam for tourists. Those who make such "sights" should be ashamed.
Vladimir L — Google review
Save yourself the money. The “old ships museum” could have been your grandpa’s model ship hobby project. The “library” could be your grandpa’s attic.

Mariusz L — Google review
There are 2 libraries inside but you can not touch the books of course. There are illustrations of old newspapers on the walls which are interesting. The view is really worth to see but 5,5 euros too much for this attraction. Instead of paying 5,5 euros to this overrated place, sit outside of the citadel, listen to the street musicians and give them the money.
Yilmaz P — Google review
The atmosphere is quiet, and the view of the Old City from the upper floor is worth seeing. The lady at the door is polite and helpful.

Just 2 rooms with books behind glass, untouchable, unreadable. This shouldn't be called a library. €5.50 fee to enter this Citadel isn't justifiable, overpriced, and more of a tourist trap.

Old Town Budva is a significant project that celebrates the cultural and historical heritage of the ancient city. Supported by various socially responsible companies, it aims to showcase Budva's rich past. The town has seen transitions from Venetian to Habsburg rule, flirtations with Russia and Napoleonic France, and a period as part of Yugoslavia. Despite enduring a devastating earthquake in 1979, which damaged much of the Old Town, it remains one of Montenegro's most sought-after attractions.

Hostel

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!
Anand K — Google review
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.
Keren R — Google review
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.

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.

We recently returned home from Montenegro with the best memories ever! From the moment we arrived, everything was lovely. The hosts greeted us with complimentary drinks and showed us wonderful bungalows right next to the river. The food was the best we’ve ever tried! Bravo to the chef – you really can taste the real flavour. We had a special occasion, and the owners helped and made their best to make this evening special. 🙌🏻 The rafting team was extremely professional. The instructions were clear, and our first river rafting experience was flawless. Thank you so much for your professionalism and kindness! We can’t wait to come back and stay longer. 🙏🏻

I spent the day rafting with Waterfall Rafting Center and it was a great experience from start to finish. We began with a nice buffet-style breakfast, then headed out on the river where the staff made everything feel fun, safe, and well organized. The scenery was beautiful, the rafting had just the right level of excitement, and afterward we enjoyed a hearty meal together. A fantastic day out in Montenegro that I’d recommend to anyone looking for adventure and good hospitality.

At the same time, there are different board games, music in the evenings if you're in the mood to have fun and socialize. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

Didn't stay with them, but went on the rafting trip. Absolutely amazing. The river is so beautiful. During regular season the river is calmer and a fun experience. Adrenalin junkies may want to wait for high water season (spring) when the river flows much faster - but the time taken is less. The breakfast and lunch they provide is really good, and great value for money. Super friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended.

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.

Our Lady of the Rocks

Mentioned on 
+88 other lists 
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.
Monica A — Google review
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.
Nikola R — Google review
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 church sits on an artificial island created by bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks. Renovated in 1722.

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!

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 😁

Neighborhoods
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.

Blagaj Tekija

Mentioned on

Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
Blagaj Tekke is a historic Sufi monastery located on the cliffs by the water, featuring a mausoleum and an old Turkish bath. Built in 1520 by the Ottomans as a dervish lodge, it offers a wonderful area to explore while in Bosnia. Visitors can pay a small fee to tour the inside of the monastery or take a short walk up an opposite path for a beautiful view of the shaded area.
Beautiful place, the water is so pretty. Spring coming from a cave with a monastery. There are lots of vendors and restaurants outside the monastery. A nice walking path down to the water and a tiny boat ride across. It’s a cool tourist area but genuine pretty.
Sighting S — Google review
Visiting the Tekija in Blagaj was a truly peaceful and unforgettable experience. The harmony between nature and history is breathtaking — the crystal-clear river, the majestic cliffs, and the serenity of the Dervish house make it one of the most beautiful and spiritual places I’ve ever seen. A must-visit if you're in Bosnia and Herzegovina!
Mat B — Google review
The Islamic monastery of Tekija Blagaj is absolutely impressive! The entrance fee is around 10 km, but it's definitely worth it. Its location, right at the source of the Buna River, is simply breathtaking—surrounded by rocks, water, and beautiful nature. A place full of peace and history. Parking is also available nearby for a small fee. Overall, a fantastic destination that shouldn't be missed when visiting the region!🇧🇦❤️
Enver S — Google review
Incredible place to visit. If you are visiting Bosnia, I would say a must visit. Beautiful historical and natural heritage of Bosnia located at the spring of the Buna river. This spring ranks as one of the largest in whole Europe. Around the spring there are restaurants with a really beautiful view. Of course Blagaj tekke is opened for tourists and you can visit this architectural ensemble in and out.
M K — Google review
A short drive from Mostar and the place looks magical. We went on an evening in Ocotber and practically had the place to ourselves. You can also walk upto the monastery though we skipped it, and there are many restaurants around too where you can relax with a view. There is a parking lot nearby in walking distance and I had read previous reviews that they collect money, but surprisingly on the day and time we went there was noone there to collect.
Amruth M — Google review
Blagaj, which is the source of the Buna River and home to a beautiful Dervish Monastery nestled beside a cave and mountain. Entry to the monastery is €5. Some visitors were praying inside, and we were told that Dervish gatherings still take place here on Mondays and Fridays, lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Storee — Google review
Blagaj is a peaceful and breathtaking spot, crystal-blue water, a dramatic cliffside, and the historic Tekija house make it feel almost unreal. Perfect for a calm escape, beautiful photos, and a touch of history. Definitely worth the visit.
Sutha H — Google review
Yes, the place is undoubtedly beautiful—especially the river, the view, and the architecture itself. However, the entry fee feels disappointing given the lack of guidance or explanation. You’re allowed into a few rooms that were used for prayer and rituals, but there’s no clear information about the historical relevance of the person associated with the site, nor is there a guide available. Honestly, you could simply visit the area and take great photos from across the river without paying for the ticket.

Old Bridge Mostar

Mentioned on

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
Mostar Old Bridge Viewpoint, also known as Stari Most, is a must-visit destination in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This 16th-century Ottoman bridge is a symbol of reconciliation and unity in the city, connecting its Muslim and Christian quarters with its elegant design featuring a single stone arch gracefully curving 24m above the Neretva River.
Beautiful, even on an overcast day. We didn’t see the river’s famous green waters, but the view was still lovely. The bridge itself is so full of history and beauty that you can’t help but pause and take it all in. A must-see when visiting Mostar.
Cherry A — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Old Bridge in Mostar is one of the most breathtaking sights I’ve seen. By day it’s alive with history and crowds, but by night it transforms into something magical – beautifully lit, reflecting perfectly on the Neretva River below. Standing here, you feel the weight of centuries of Ottoman architecture, war, destruction, and then the powerful story of reconstruction and resilience. The bridge is not just stone and water – it’s a living symbol of unity and survival. Locals still dive from it (incredible to watch!), and the surrounding cobblestone streets are full of cafés, craft shops, and welcoming people. Walking across the bridge feels like stepping back in time, yet the atmosphere is buzzing and vibrant. If you visit Bosnia, this is an absolute must. Come at night if you can – the reflections, lights, and quiet atmosphere are unforgettable. 10/10 experience that blends history, culture, and pure beauty.

Beautiful scenery. The water level was high in November and the current was turbulent. The cobbled stones on the pathways make walking difficult. There are many sourviniers shops along the pathway. Many of them are selling magnet, keychains and some turkish products.

The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.

touch 👇 🇧🇦 A Day Trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina 🌉 Visited the iconic Mostar Bridge on a day trip from Croatia — and it was such a memorable experience. The old bridge, or Stari Most, is not just beautiful but also full of history and meaning. Rebuilt after the war, it stands as a powerful symbol of unity and resilience. Walking through the cobblestone streets and watching locals dive off the bridge into the Neretva River felt surreal. There’s something about the culture and warmth here that strangely reminded me of Malaysia — the hospitality, the blend of traditions, and the shared love for food and community. Definitely one of the most heartfelt and enriching day trips I’ve done in Europe ❤️

I visited Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 4th, 2018, and it was beautiful. The cobblestone streets and ancient buildings many still marked with bullet holes told the story of over 300,000 men, women, and children who lost their lives in a war fought over religion. My tour guide, who introduced himself as Yugoslavian (from a country that no longer exists), had a master’s in religion. He said something that I’ll never forget: “I’ve read every religious book, and they all say the same thing religion is freedom.” Our final stop was the iconic Mostar Bridge, where daredevils leap into the water below. As I sat there reflecting, I thought about how fortunate I am to live in a country where all children of all abilities and colors have the same right to education, where women can have equal right, and where anyone can freely practice their faith. On that day, July 4th, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I felt the deepest sense of gratitude and pride for my country. America is freedom. True freedom isn’t the absence of injustice, but the courage to confront it. That’s what makes America free. ❤️💙🤍 *UNESCO heritage site*

It's a gorgeous Herzegovina river sourcing near the Konjic and finished in the Adriatic sea near Metkovic town. The river passes through five major places Konjic, Jablanica, Mostar, Capljina, and Metkovic. The most famous world bridge passes over the Neretva River and joins two shores, and of course, it's Old Bridge in Mostar, protected by the Unesco association.

The Neretva, and in particular its delta, are a fascinating place to visit. It is a fertile area where primarily citrus and pomegranate farming exist side by side with extensive reed beds. It is a unique way of life lived between land and water. Who knows how long it will last or how it might change. The boat tours are well worth it to see what lies oit in the delta. A cuisine of eels, frogs fantastic stews is balanced with great wines and unique herbal spirits.

Apparition Hill

Mentioned on 
25 lists 
Pilgrimage place
Nature & Parks
Apparition Hill, located several hundred meters above the Bijakovici hamlet called Podbrdo, is a well-known site where apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary have been reported since 1981. The hill was initially a bare and stony area but has become more accessible due to the millions of pilgrims who visit it.
Peaceful and Powerful Experience Apparition Hill has a truly special atmosphere – peaceful, spiritual, and moving. You feel incredibly close to something greater while you’re there. The hike up takes about 15 minutes, depending on your pace. It’s a bit rocky, so good shoes help, but it’s manageable for most people. Once you reach the top, you’re rewarded with a beautiful view and a deep sense of calm. A must-visit spot if you’re in Medjugorje – whether for faith, reflection, or just the incredible energy of the place.
Mina H — Google review
Absolutely wonderful and worth the hike up the hill to be able to pray the rosary where our Blessed Mother appeared. All Catholics should make the pilgrimage here once.
Chris G — Google review
It was a very enlightening experience to witness such dedication among the pilgrims who made the climb up Apparition Hill. Some did it barefoot but I would highly recommend a strong pair of hiking boots as some of the rocks are quite sharp. It takes around 10 minutes to climb to Our Lady statue.
Mat B — Google review
Van ride to Apparition Hill – the movie’s rising action. Winding through Medjugorje’s green hills, the van climbs toward Podbrdo, where the Virgin first appeared in 1981. Sunlit vineyards and stone walls flash by – anticipation builds with every turn. The pilgrimage deepens
A G — Google review
Incredible place! You must go there to feel this atmosphere and energy. Hard climb up the hill on the rocks but was doable with three kids including 4 years old. It can get crowded, but on the other hand is so quiet and perfect place to pray to our Lady. She is there waiting for you!
Mariana Y — Google review
The path up to Apparition hill is rough, be prepared for a hike. We saw some people that were quite old and it was challenging, but they went slowly and were undeterred. There’s not a single set path, and nobody was impatient. Spiritually so worth visiting.

Waterfalls
Kravica Waterfall is a scenic spot popular for swimming and photography, with nearby concessions available. Some visitors find the entrance fee to be high, considering it's a natural feature, while others appreciate the affordable access and free parking. The walk down to the falls offers numerous photo opportunities and stunning views. Visitors enjoy swimming in the river at the bottom of the falls and appreciate the clean bathing area with ample seating.
Incredible place ! We got there early and it was so relaxing and not busy at all. Loungers were out and free to use and it had a lovely cafe. The water is freezing haha so not many people swam at all. But it was a gorgeous place and SO worth a visit
Madison C — Google review
Still 10 euro to enter if you're wondering. The ascent and descent can be a bit difficult due to the odd designs of the steps. The waterfall itself is beautiful and that's why we came of course, but the area around the falls feels very run down. Maybe it's because of the off season, but boarded up restaurants covered in graffiti, no real paths or sense of organisation. It does feel like a bunch of people just placed down shacks to sell drinks and gelato out of for a few months of the year.

Kravica Waterfall is gorgeous and super relaxing. Entrance is around 20 KM for adults (10 KM for students), and parking’s about 3 KM/hour (or 6 KM for a whole day. A boat ride costs around €5 for 20 mins or €10 for 40 mins. The place isn’t overly busy, and there are lovely spots to sit, unwind, and take in the view

Very nice waterfalls, they are different and a must see if you are visiting the area. The reception guy was very nice and informative. We parked at a parking ahead of the park which was 3 EUR for the hole day, but 1 hour is enough if you dont visit Mala Kravica.

Went in early July and it wasn’t too packed. Arrived right at opening. Water was a bit chilly, and would definitely recommend water shoes as it’s rocky and mossy on the bottom. Give yourself a couple hours to swim, relax at one of the cafes, and enjoy the natural beauty.

Very beautiful! A bit expensive for 10eur entrance but still worth it. We stayed for about 1h30. We walked towards Mala Kavinica. It didn’t have much view on the other falls but the clear waters was beautiful. There were cafes by the falls but all closed at this season. The bridge going to the other side is also closed.
Ashbina N — Google review
Kravica Waterfall was my favourite place when I visited Bosnia and Herzegovina in early October. I couldn't contain my excitement during the entire 90 minutes I spent there and I took dozens of selfies, photos, and videos to capture the beauty of this natural wonder. I really wish I had more time, as I didn’t want to leave so soon. The €10 entry fee is absolutely worth it to witness such a marvel. There were people swimming and having fun in the water, as it was a gloriously sunny day. I also sat down to enjoy a coffee and a cigarette, simply soaking in the breathtaking surroundings and appreciating the moment.

Despite the beach getting busy during peak season, it never feels too overcrowded, and the family-friendly atmosphere is a big plus. The views are breathtaking, and the amenities are top-notch. It's a perfect spot for both sunbathing and swimming. Highly recommend a visit if you're in Croatia!

Sections of the beach are nice and photogenic, but overall this is a bunch of questionable touristy restaurants, generic bakery shops and LOTS of private accomodation options right on the beach. Motorbikes and deliveries use the promenade to bypass traffic. Architecturally, everything is horrendeous. Several hige hotels are right on the waterfront. Less chaotic than Makarska, but that is not saying much.

Parking spaces are not enough. Parking lots are located outside the town and are very expensive. 20-25 euros/day. Very crowded beach.

Makarska Harbour

Mentioned on

Harbor
Sights & Landmarks
Makarska Harbour, located in the historic city of Makarska Riviera, is a bustling port with a picturesque backdrop. Contrary to typical harbor stereotypes, this one offers stunning sights and clean surroundings. The vibrant blue and green waters complement the array of restaurants, bars, and cafes along the promenade. Visitors can enjoy affordable dining options while basking in the sunny weather.
I love walking in the harbor, looking at the boats and sea. And this place fulfilled it. The harbor is clean and sometimes full of people on the promenade.

Very old town full of narrow streets. A nice square and nice harbour. Well worth a visit for sure.

Punta Rata

Beach

Punta Rata, also known as Dugi Rat, is a stunning pebble beach located in the picturesque town of Brela on the Makarska Riviera. The beach is famous for its crystal-clear waters, pine tree-lined surroundings, and the iconic Brela Rock that juts out from the turquoise sea. Forbes magazine even recognized Punta Rata as one of the most beautiful beaches globally in 2004.
Absolutely stunning beach and hands down one of the most beautiful promenades we’ve seen along this coast. From what we can tell on the map, it stretches all the way to Makarska — but right around here, it looks absolutely unreal. The mix of greenery, the leaning trees, the turquoise water, and the clean, well-kept path — it all hits just right. Especially if you're not here during peak tourist time. We came in mid-May, and the whole place felt magical. Punta Rata Beach itself looked incredible. You could actually find your own little corner, a quiet spot to settle in. I’m guessing that during peak season, there’s no way you’d be able to find a comfortable space to lay down and relax.

The beach is beautiful but a little bit crowded. Beautiful landscape, crystal clear water, pebble beach. The "parking" is just a patch of dirt and trees — no pavement, no order — but they still charge €4 per hour. From 9 AM to 3 PM, I paid 24 €. The attendant speaks aggressively and treats visitors with zero respect. It's totally unprofessional and a terrible first impression for such a beautiful beach.

The most amazing beach in Brela and has crystal clear water, and the beach with small pebbles. The calm, shallow water and pine-tree promenade makes it a great spot for everyone.
Amalia M — Google review
I confirm this is a nice place: - views to sea/mountains/islands are superb from any side of the beach - has many shadow places under big trees - less crowded than Makarska beaches - low locals with their goods level - low garbage level - has some nice places to do great photos (like Brela rock) Basically, calm village beach with great views. Only downside - expensive parking nearby.

I love this place, especially in the morning before 9 a.m., while the tourists are still asleep. The most beautiful it ever was was during Covid-19 – no one around, just me, the crystal-clear sea, pine trees, fish and squirrels. That’s why, even today, I quietly pray every day: “Dear God, please send us another small, sweet pandemic. This time, one that harms no one, but whose symptoms simply stop people from travelling – say, global diarrhoea or a collective outbreak of painful hemorrhoids. Amen."

Definitely the best beach in Brela, and I wouldn’t exaggerate if I say that it’s the best beach in whole Croatia. Small stones are very pleasant under the feet and absolutely no need for those ugly sea shoes. Be a real man and walk bare footed. And ladies that are planning to attract someone, you can do it only without sea shoes. There are a lot of pines with natural shade at the beach. Free showers are available in whole Brela which is really great and quite rare nowadays.
Ivann — Google review
One of the best beaches I’ve ever been. The temperature of the water is great and if you swim a bit, you can see the full chain of mountains behind the beach. Yes, it is crowded compared to others, but I don’t think that’s a real problem. There’s plenty of space and it’s not impossible to find a place for you in the shadow. A pair of sunbeds and umbrella costs 28 euros.

Beautiful, quiet, gravel beach. Super clean water. Have to pay for parking and for toilets. Easy to go for a walk as there's a promenade. -1 * due to lack of free toilets and I believe you need coins for it.

Situated near Bol, the main tourist destination on the island, this hotel provides easy access to the expansive Zlatni Rat Beach where visitors can find various amenities for purchase or rent. Recent updates have left the rooms feeling fresh and clean while maintaining a great location. Guests appreciate the friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay.
The most perfect location if you wanted easy access to the beach. It is literally the nearest hotel from the Zlatni rat beach. Very friendly and professional staff. The housekeepers did an amazing job in making our room clean. The room was so nice and comfortable. The breakfast was good and to be honest it was the best food we ate in Brac 🤣

From the moment Micki checked us into our accomodation, we could not fault a thing. The rooms were very clean and spacious, the service very obliging and second to none and the location was just a short walk to Europe's most famous beaches 'Zlatni Rat'. Our stay was awesome and would definitely recommend and come stay again. Could not fault a thing. Until next time. Ciao.

Perfect location walking distance to Zlatni Rzt beach and 15 min to Bol. Room was beautiful, clean, spacious and quiet. The front desk were so helpful all of them. The housekeeping came and cleaned and changed the towels every day. Breakfast on the terrace was amazing!

Impeccable location, nice and comfortable room, and incredibly kind and helpful people! From reception to the restaurant, Dusan, Miki, Mate, Josip and Ognjen were all so kind and really made my stay wonderful. Thank you!

our air conditioner didn't work. we told the staff and they promised to look during the day while we are at the beach. when we came back from the beach they forgot so they were making it the whole time we were in the room. the first night we were without air conditioning, and the second in a room with masters. they then transferred us to another room only after the intervention of the manager. the staff said there were no available rooms even though there were more available on the booking. then on the last night we were transferred again to the third room because the second one was reserved. The hotel has potential, but with management work. it is not enough to offer the guest 0.2 dcl champagne as an excuse. someone took their time and paid for a vacation and that vacation looked like I described.

I just got back home and couldn’t resist writing this review right away. From the moment we booked, we felt completely taken care of. When we arrived, we were welcomed by Miki, Dusan, Katerina, Ognjen, and the rest of the team—each one radiating warmth and professionalism. This place is more than just a hotel. It’s a little world where you have everything you need—delicious meals from breakfast to dinner, a shop on site, live music at dinner, and views that honestly look like a postcard. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. They catered to every need with a smile, even arranging a golf cart ride to and from our car (a small detail that made a big difference in the summer heat!). 💙 A heartfelt thank you to Miki for his kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care—he truly set the standard for what hospitality should feel like. And of course, a big shout-out to Dusan, Katerina, and Ognjen as well—their warmth and professionalism made our stay unforgettable 💙 If I could suggest one tiny improvement, it would be lighter short-sleeve uniforms for the staff in those hot 30–40°C summer days—they’d still look elegant, and it would make their work more comfortable.

From the moment we arrived at Zlatni Rat Beach Resort, we were completely captivated by its unbeatable location—just steps from the iconic Zlatni Rat Beach, with its crystal-clear waters and unique pebble shoreline. It truly doesn’t get better than this. The resort itself is thoughtfully designed for convenience and comfort. Parking is just seconds from the rooms, which are spotless, stylish, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxed and carefree stay. And the food? Absolutely exceeded my expectations. I’ll admit I was skeptical about hotel dining at first, but this is no ordinary hotel restaurant. It's a proper, high-quality restaurant connected to the resort—and honestly, one of the best around. I highly recommend trying the octopus salad—it's a standout dish. What truly made this stay exceptional, though, was the staff. Their warmth, humor, and dedication elevated our entire experience. At reception, Biljana, Dusan, and Miki were incredible—always available, helpful, and full of that genuine Balkan hospitality that makes you feel like family. In the restaurant, Josip, David, and Strahinja not only provided fantastic service but also brightened our days with laughter, generous touches, and spot-on recommendations. Honestly, it’s the people here who will bring me back. The building is beautiful, the beach is world-class, the food is delicious—but it’s the staff that made it unforgettable. If I had to find one downside? The mosquitoes—but even they couldn’t dampen such an amazing experience. PS: I read a review stating that there is a strong smell from the sewage which I did not feel as everything around us only smelled of lavenders, the sea and some great food.

Vidova gora

Mountain peak

Mountains
Nestled on the stunning island of Brac, Vidova Gora stands proudly as the highest peak among the Adriatic islands, reaching an impressive height of 778 meters. This remarkable destination is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike, offering breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea and neighboring islands like Hvar and Vis.
Fantastique and challanging walking. The road is well signed, full of stones but good for walking. For us with a 8 year old boy took 3 hours to walk up. The view is beautiful. At the top there is a small bar with icecream, coffee and souvenires. To go up and down it was about 10 kms. Challanging but beautiful.
Szilvia R — Google review
We drove to the top. I can't imagine hiking it in the heat. The views were amazing. There was a small cafe at the top but the views were stunning. I would be careful at the top around the cliff edges. Most of the island has a lot of rock but this drive gives you some interesting forest time as well on the way up!
Jamie S — Google review
It's the tallest mountain in the isle of braç, and the view is amazing. You can clearly see the Zlatni rat beach from up there and also the very cool formation of the island in front (Hvar island if i'?m not mistaken) which I thought looked like a hand reaching out. 10/10, definitely would recommend
Eros — Google review
Amazing spot!! Went there for sunset and left in total awe. The access is very easy through a pine forest and uphill there’s a small free parking, after which you have to walk a paved road for 5-10 minutes to reach the top. Amazing views of the Hvar and Vis islands, also of Zlanti Rat beach and, of course, Bol and the rest of southern Brac. Must see spot on the island.

One of the most beautiful beaches I've seen in Croatia. It's on the island of Braz. The island is easily assecable from Split. A 50 minute ferry ride to Supetar.

Challenging hike but very fascinating. The trail was not identified on Google Maps and we had trouble finding the path in the beginning, luckily there were marks for hikers everywhere (see the red and white circle in the picture). The hiking trail starts from road UI. Gornje Podbarje where there is a hiking plate. We followed the marks and it took c. 3.5 hours to go up and c. 2 hours to go down. There were loose gravels everywhere on the path and it can get tricky especially on the way down. The view from the top was amazing and there is a table and a bench for picnic. There is also a small shop for refreshment. The mountain peak is also accessable by car/bike. For hikers, bringing plenty of water and food is recommended. Overall, it's worth a visit.
Sophie Y — Google review
Vidova Gora is an absolutely amazing place. The view from the top is simply stunning – especially if you come just before sunset. As someone from this region, I really recommend visiting during that time because the light and atmosphere are truly magical. Just a small tip: bring something warmer to wear, as it can get chilly up there even in summer. The road that takes you through the forest to the top is also really beautiful and adds to the experience. The only downside is an abandoned building near the viewpoint – it looks a bit neglected and spooky. Hopefully, it gets renovated in the future to match the beauty of the rest of the place.
