Spent the later morning and lunch. Did a tour of the vineyard- lovely to hear about the history, process and meet the staff. Then had lunch, 3 option 4 wine and meat/cheese €22, 4 wine and starter and main €36 or 6 wines, appetiser, starter and steak €50. Was a great experience and we came away with a bottle from the gift shop. Everyone friendly, still a young business and team- but they are doing a great job.

We did the Wine Lover Pack at Duka Winery & Vineyard and really enjoyed the overall experience! Before the boat tour, we learned a bit about the winemaking process, which was informative. Our boat experience with the guide Tosi was definitely the highlight , he was very professional, friendly, and made the trip fun and relaxing. We had a great time on the water! The only downside was that the waiter during the wine tasting didn’t seem very friendly, which affected that part of the experience a bit. Overall, the visit was okay , especially the boat tour, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and unique way to experience the vineyard.

Incredible experience all around. Can recommend the wine tasting for 22€ and the boat ride. Honestly this place is a gem and one of the highlights of Albania for us. Special thanks to Tosi, Aldo and Juergen for serving us and making our time memorable and fun! Sunset views were stunning and the wine delicious.

What a fantastic experience! We were guided by Tosi and Klejdi, who were both exceptional and made the tour genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. Beyond the great tour, the staff deserves a special mention for being so incredibly friendly and accommodating. And let's not forget the food, it was truly delightful!

Me and my girls had such an amazing experience at this winery. Our guide Kesi really explained everything and now we know how wine is produced, what contributes to the taste as well. She was so friendly and patient with us as we took our photos. The service in the restaurant and boat ride was the icing on top. We'll be back for more, thank you 😊

We had such an amazing experience on the wine tasting tour at the Duka Winery and vineyard. Our guide, Kasie, was absolutely wonderful, she explained everything about the history of the wines and the vineyard in such a clear and engaging way. After the tour, Reni took over and served us during the tasting session. Reni took his time to explain each wine we tried. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about wine in a fun, welcoming atmosphere.

I loved my time at the winery Tosi really welcomed us and we instantly fell at home then he took us on a boat cruise giving us all the information regarding the lake. Kesi took us around the winery and explain the process of winemaking to clearly. Reni was out such a cheerful waiter ever smiling. We really enjoyed our time here

An interesting place! I visited in late February and there were no other people around except the groundskeeper. There are signs that help you understand the history. You can see the sea from here. A beautiful, quiet and unique place to stop in Albania. The road to the top is all up hill. The Google map shows it as a 30-minute walk, but due to the steep incline I recommend taking a car unless you are in great shape or want to spend some good amount of time walking up there. The view is quite something! I didn’t see any restrooms there and it is not a tourist trap. There are no shops or restaurants. Just go to enjoy the beauty and the history of the area! :)

Lezhë Castle is a hidden gem that blends history and breathtaking views effortlessly. Wandering its ancient walls, you feel the echoes of battles past while gazing over the lush landscapes of Lezhë. Every corner tells a story, making it a must-visit for history buffs and adventurers alike.

Beautiful landmark from 9th century. It was destroyed by the earthquake but you can still see important parts. There is spacious parking and friendly receptions. Entrance is 300LEK/adult, kids up to 12 years have a free entrance. Dogs are allowed.

Saw this place off the highway when driving from Tiranë to Shkodër and took a pit stop. Listed to both Google Maps and Waze and want up a crazy route. Thankful we had a 4x4 or we would have been in big trouble. We took a stop half way up to calm the nerves and a local named George came to meet us. After sharing some history with us, just jumped in the car and gave us a tour of the castle! It was one of the most unexpected and amazing places. It’s an awesome castle and you can see the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman layers built on top of each other. Amazing view. Don’t listen to google maps if the road turns to dirt. There is a paved option. Lessons learned!

Always one star down when you cannot pay by card. But this castle is very nice. Smaller than the Shköder castle, but still very enjoyable. The parking right under the castle is free. The path to the castle is okay until you find some... well, not okay part of it :-D We played The floor is lava, so it was fun. Would recommend to visit in the evening as almost no one was there.

We went on the off-season and paid 600 Lek to enter. It was open and sheep roamed around freely. There was plenty to explore. The hike up was a workout but rewarding. Lots if fun!

Nice and quite big to explore. Under the castle there is a parking space where you can park for free. It's very easy to go up, but I would reccommend to bring water. No crowd was there when we visited, but we were there at evening.

Such an amazing place! 😍 It's hard to recognize the entrance from the outside, it would be useful to have some signs. An entrance to the showroom is free, parking is free, an entrance to the factory costs 3€ but totally worth it! If you want, you can take part in mask painting workshops (about 35-40 min). The biggest factory of Venice Art Masks in the world. All items in the showroom are for sale and have their price. You can buy whatever you want. The service is very nice, they speak excellent English. Such an interesting experience.

If you visit Shkoder, you absolutely must go to this place! The showroom is filled with stunning Venetian masks, each more beautiful than the last. We even got to create our own masks at the factory, the team was amazing, sharing their techniques and guiding us step by step. They are official suppliers for the Venice Carnival and even Las Vegas shows, which says a lot about their talent and quality. A unique experience for both adults and kids. Thank you 🫶

Had an amazing time there - the showroom was amazing but personally - i can say that the Workshop - the place where everything starts -was the best part of the tour - i had the opportunity to witness a great craftsmanship- the artist there were so talented and really polite ( they even let me take some pictures of their works ) .A great experience overall. If ur debating whether to visit or not- DO IT! Hahaha. It’s definitely a must “not skip/miss” place !!

The masks are stunning—truly authentic and handmade. Seeing the artisans at work was fascinating, and the quality is incredible. We’re so glad we listened and took home a couple of these beautiful works of art. If you're in Shkodra, this place is a must-see.

This is one of those experiences that looks good in the reviews but is truly a memory that will be with you forever. I was not expecting much but I was astonished by the details and craftsmanship. My wife, an artist herself, really enjoyed the hands-on mask making workshop they offer. As with so much in Albania, the people working here were friendly and helpful. This is a truly remarkable experience.

Fantastic place! You can see how the masks are made in the factory and see a lot os mask in the shop. A must visit in Shkodër! The guy in the shop told os some history about the place and what movies they have made mask for. Very interesting.

If you’re looking for a place where Venetian elegance meets Shkodër’s artistic soul, Te Mëskat Veneciane is the perfect spot. The atmosphere is magical – from the intricate details of each mask to the vibrant colors and fine craftsmanship that make every piece truly unique! Each mask is a work of art, carefully handcrafted with passion and precision. They don’t just remind you of the charm of Venice, but also reflect originality and local artistry. Visitors often see them not only as beautiful souvenirs but also as timeless decorations that bring culture and elegance into any home!

My son is fond of photography and I always encourage him. Luckily upon our visit to Shkoder, we found Marubi and we decided to visit. National Museum of Photography entrance ticket is 700 and 210 for adults and children. The lady suggested us for 1 hour timing. No guide available but you can read about every photo and section. For us, the museum is so small, few wallpapers, old cameras, the way of printing, few characters with their details and few more. Maximum time we spent was less than 15 minutes.

The photographic exhibition currently showing is interesting to see, but I think the 700 lek entrance fee is excessive. I visited the "Site of Witnesses & Memory" museum which is well worth the 200 lek entry fee. The top floor is dedicated to the photos of Pietro Marubbi and the sons of his gardener who were taken under his wing and continued his work adopting the Marubbi name. A good collection of b&w photos depicting life & people during the earlier part of the 20th century. Interesting to see what his photographic dark room looked like, not so dissimilar to what I used 55 years ago at school in my teens.

Really interesting spot if you’re into photography and its history. Not only for showing original Albanian artists work, but also as the journey through the different eras of the photography as an art and process.

“A wonderful museum! The collection of old photographs uniquely tells the history and life of Albania. Very well organized, modern, and with a special atmosphere. A true journey through time, definitely worth visiting!”

A wonderful visit filled with great memories! The Marubi Museum offers a fascinating journey through Albania’s history captured in timeless photographs. The collection is beautifully presented, showing the evolution of Albanian life, culture, and people through the lens of talented photographers. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, making the experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit spot in Shkodra for anyone who appreciates art, history, and photography.

Marubi National Museum of Photography is a hidden treasure for art and history lovers. The collection is stunning, showcasing Albania’s past through powerful, timeless images. Every corner tells a story, and the museum’s vibe is both inspiring and intimate—perfect for anyone who appreciates photography and culture.

Very interesting museum with lots of photographs that show the history of the city. Definitely worth a visit. A bit expensive and they only take cash. The person selling tickets could be friendlier and more service minded. She barely said anything to us.

Very unique and very recommended to visit this castle in shkoder. Small entry fee or even for free. Perfect for a family trip. The view is awesome you the sea of shkoder but then on the other hand you see the adriatic sea. On top ih that beautiful view you see the two lakes run into each other. Amazing!

The castle is absolutely stunning. It wasn't too crowded and you can meander around for as long as you want. To get there, we took a taxi from near the bus station. It cost €10 or 1000 ALL for a round trip. We just called the driver when we were ready to leave. There are many taxi operators around the city centre. The tickets were 400 ALL per person. We didn't buy in advance and there was no line. The way up is quite steep and also the stones are quite slippery. The views are absolutely worth it. There is also a museum and restaurant on the premises, however, the museum has a separate ticket of 200 ALL. One thing is that the restaurant houses the toilets and you have to buy something to use it, even just a water bottle is fine though. Amazing visit overall!

You need to pay for the castle entrance, although in google maps it does not say that it is a paid entrance. And you can only pay with cash. The castle is nice, quite outdated and needs repairs and safety notices for people to go there. Also, lots of rubish, poop , and papers in every corner. Be aware! There is a cute goat in the premises, it’s cute. FYI, when we were driving to the castle two kids with weapons approached us and tried to break into our car to get money from us. The guns were fake but stay attentive and with locked doors! Quite terrifying experience.

Rozafa Castle is one of the most beautiful places in northern Albania. The view from the top is absolutely stunning — you can see the rivers, the mountains, and the city of Shkodër all in one frame. It’s peaceful, full of history, and perfect for photography or just relaxing in nature. Highly recommend visiting during sunset for the best light and atmosphere.

Absolutely breathtaking! Every corner of the Castle of Rozafa feels like a dream come alive. From its ancient stones to the sweeping views over rivers and mountains, each angle offers a masterpiece of light, history, and magic. A must see, five stars without hesitation.

One of the most beautiful castles in Albania. Views are magnificent. The parking is a bit problematic, there is many lots around but theirs service is not well organized. The local cafe closes surprisingly early, leaving you no option to buy even a bottle of water in the early evening.

Dating back to the 3rd century BC, this fortress offers stunning views over the valley and the city. Several structures are still standing. Inside the third courtyard, you’ll find a small café where you can grab water, coffee, or ice cream. There’s also a museum (entrance ticket required). Entrance ticket: 400 LEK per person (sept 2025)

This place is unreal 🤯I was truly mind blown by views. Definitely worth the hype. I went there in March and it was cold but i can't even imagine how beautiful it looks in the summer time. Amazing day for photography though☺️ It's so different from the rest of Montenegro and that's why it is so fascinating. If you're visiting Montenegro don't skip this gem😉

Sadly i'm putting one star.It's not the fault of the beauty nature god has created .Bcs god doesn't make imperfection,people/ humans do.The sea coastline ot this island offers fantastic views ,still left wild . Ada Bojana is so badly managed they put 2 euro fee per hour for people that haven't booked to stay at their apartaments to enter and park their cars. What do they do with all this money where does it go? When none of staff members cleans Ada Bojana beach and all plastic comes in sea or in sand .

❤️

I love this beach where the river meets the sea such a great place

Great location. People should pay attention where they throw garbage.

One of the most peaceful places I have ever been! Instant relaxation!! Perfect for a romantic getaway, or with a group of friends!

Better than the other ones nearby, but there's still a lot of trash. Start respecting what you have, Montenegro!

A beach like any other. The good thing about beaches in Montenegro is that you can go in with your dog — just like in normal European countries, such as those in Eastern Europe, where so-called Western European 'culture' thankfully hasn’t arrived yet.

Great place, soft sand, lots of bars near. The water was absolutely fantastic! 100% must go!

It's a passable beach. The water isn't very deep. The entire beach is divided into businesses and is very long. There are too many wasps. They bothered us a lot.

Velika plaža is a sandy beach in Ulcinj, Montenegro. The beach is located on the Adriatic coast, 5 km from the city. The length of the beach is 13 km, and the width is on average 60 m. Due to its size and fine sand, it is also called the "Ulcinj Copacabana" we didn't sit in cafes because the prices are too high, and there is enough space on the beach to put up an umbrella and enjoy the old way, the so-called tomato tourists, in the video below you can see what it looks like.

Dirty black sand. Bed costs 40€ in Mykonos beach.

A beautiful sand beach, the water is clean. Probably one of the best places in Montenegro. The beach is not the best for city people though, cause there isn't music playing around and there are 1-2 caffes. Amazing beach though!

The largest and cleanest beach i have seen across Montenegro. No trash floating in the water, large sandy area, plenty of space, not overcrowded. The water is shallow, and because of fine sand, very cloudy, not for snorkeling. As that is flat shore, no bay, there are waves almost all the time. In 5-7 pm there are huge traffic jams of people leaving the beach🚦, so try to leave earlier or stay later. Typically, if you come after 5 pm, nobody will charge you for sun beds.

If you're lucky, you get one of the rooms/studios advertised on booking sites. If you're not, you'll receive a room not worth the price. Yup to you if you wish to take that chance.

Good accomodation, nice people.

Super

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Beautifully furnished rooms in a maritime style. A fantastic view of the sea. The hotel, along with its restaurant, is run by a truly friendly and welcoming family. We felt welcome at all times, and our every wish was fulfilled. We would love to come back! We're already very excited about the new rooms, where the owner personally puts the finishing touches to ensure they meet his high standards. (Original) Sehr schön eingerichtete Zimmer im maritimen Stil. Super Blick aufs Meer. Das Haus wird zusammen mit dem dazugehörigen Lokal von einer wirklich netten und offenherzigen Familie geführt. Wir fühlten uns jederzeit willkommen und jeder unserer Wünsche wurde erfüllt. Wir kommen gerne wieder! Wir sind schon sehr auf die neuen Zimmer gespannt, bei denen der Chef persönlich letzte Hand anlegt, damit sie seinen hohen Ansprüchen genügen.

(Translated by Google) Tragedy. I am writing to warn you against wasting your holidays. We booked a total of 11 nights and after 2 nights, fortunately, we managed to say goodbye to this beautiful place, as some people describe. Instead of writing, I'm sending a few photos as a warning. Not to mention it's not all bad, the views are amazing. I reported the matter via booking where I booked the place because despite the omnipresent dirt, no one bothered to clean the wonderful shared kitchen for two days (it's a miracle with a washing machine), the TV didn't work, there were ants in the room. this green bottle is the set of cosmetics we had left after arriving. there was supposed to be a welcome drink, but maybe it's good that there wasn't, because I would have run away from there drunk. the room was not cleaned, we spent over 10€ on chemicals to clean the bathroom, there was a lot of black curly hair everywhere. despite this we were asked to pay 100% for 2 nights and 30% to cancel the remaining 9 days. Fortunately, we moved to Albania and the holiday was saved. After we complained, they wanted to give us rooms of a higher standard, but together with the whole family we decided to leave after 2 days. (Original) Tragedia . Pisze aby was przestrzec przed zmarnowaniem sobie wakacji. Zamówiliśmy w sumie 11 nocy i po 2 nocach całe szczęście udało nam się pożegnać z tym pięknym jak opisują niektórzy miejscem . Zamiast pisać przesylam kilka zdjęć dla przestrogi. żeby nie było całkiem źle to widoki są rewelacyjne. Sprawę zgłosiłem przez booking skąd rezerwowalem miejsce gdyż pomimo wszechobecnego brudu przez dwa dni nikt nie raczył posprzątać tej wspaniałej wspólnej kuchni ( to jest to cudo z pralką) tv nie działał, mrówki w pokoju. ta zieloną butla to zestaw kosmetyków jaki zostaliśmy po przybyciu. miał być drink powitalny ale może dobrze że nie było bo bym jeszcze po pijaku z stamtąd uciekł. pokój nie był posprzatany wydaliśmy ponad 10€ na środki chemiczne aby posprzątać w łazience wszędzie mnóstwo czarnych kręconych włosów. pomimo tego kazano nam zapłacić 100 % za 2 noclegi i 30 % za anulowanie pozostałych 9 dni. Całe szczęście przenieśliśmy się do Albanii i wakacje się udało uratować. Po tym jak zaprosiliśmy zgłoszeniem reklamacji chciano nam dac pokoje i wyższym standardzie ale wspólnie całą rodziną postanowiliśmy że wyjedziemy po 2 dniach.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely not suitable for older people or people with walking difficulties! Breakfast very poor out of season, room totally shabby. But guests were still trying hard, unfortunately a bit overwhelmed. No change of towels and no cleaning of the accommodation, no longer an insider tip, unfortunately. (Original) für ältere oder gehbehinderte Menschen absolut nicht geeignet! Frühstück außerhalb der Saison sehr dürftig, Zimmer total abgewohnt. Aber trotzdem bemühte Gastleute, leider etwas überfordert. Kein Handtuchwechsel und keine Reinigung der Unterkünfte, längst kein Geheimtipp mehr, leider.

Great experiance for Families with children. Olive tree is amazing, but children prefer to follow races of turtles and spending time on feeding them. We loved it!

Interesting visit, both impressive and historic. If you want to play along, go three time around it (wealth, health and happiness). The entry is not free, you need to pay a small fee

Off the main road you will find this lovely thriving piece of history. It is cared for by a team who loves and appreciates its value. The lady running the booth thay day, once she realized we respected and appreciated the tree, oh she opened up and shared so much! She was born down the road from the tree and grew up loving it, there are 15 turtles living within the fence and most of the trinkets and olive oil sold at the kiosk are made locally as well. Thank you to the kind woman who made our experience so wonderful.

Around 2500 years old. Costs €2 to visit. Very nice little stop off on my journey.

The idea of visiting it is nice since it is 2000 years old but it’s not spectacular as the one in Greece, however the place is quite and clean. Entrance fee is 2€ for adults and one for kids

The oldest tree in Europe, damaged by fire many years ago but still very much alive. Legend says walk around 3 times for love, health and luck.

It’s a nice place to see oldest tree. The tree is said to be over 2,000 years old. Worth spending some time.

We had an amazing visit here. Only €5 entry for an adult, then you can wander around for as long as you would like. There was so much to see, so would recommend having a rest halfway through or at least avoiding the hottest part of the day! So many lovely viewpoints, great for getting pictures. Information on the buildings, ruins, and history was available too. Would definitely recommend, it was a great day trip from the coast!

Spactacular ruins. Due to large area you won’t feel crowds. There’s extensive information about Bar history in the museum. You should dedicate some time for walking and visiting different chambers. There’s water fountain, toilet.

Must see location - a beautifully preserved city and citadel. Definitely worth the trip. The kids e enjoyed roaming freely in the different street and found every nook and cranny.

Recently, when visiting Montenegro, I was honestly at a loss for what to do and I randomly chose a tour that just happened to include a visit to this old fortress. Turned out to be such a great choice. The ruins of the fortress overlooking Stari Bar are an amazing archeological site. From the main gate to the Prince's Palace, the ruins are dripping with history and endlessly picturesque. Note that, hiking the site can be challenging at times. Many of the stone surfaces are smooth and slippery after centuries of weathering and foot traffic. But that caveat aside, Old Bar and the citadel are must-sees when visiting Montenegro.

Stunning, beautiful place to visit. €5 adults and €1 children under 14. Historical place well worth a visit.

Very nice Fort, I liked the augmented reality QR Codes which explain things through your phone and show you how buildings used to be. 5 euros entry, don't expect too much from the toilets

Very nice view. A lot of restaurants, bars and souvenir shops in walkthrough. 4 stars because of prices. All over 12 yeas old pay 5€ to enter, and under 12 pays 3€. Not worth the money, comparing to, let's say Kalemegdan in Belgrade, where entrance is free and you need few hours to walk around all, with much more content to see and enjoy .

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice modern bridge, underneath there’s a walk way along the beautiful river

It can be nice spot if you like to take photos of architecture or traffic. I like it mire during the day but didn’t have time to take photo. Sharing night one. Also interesting.

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.

Nice landmark to stap by if you are in Podgorica. Also take a walk and enjoy the bridge from riverside!

Magnificent cathedral. Amazing work of art on every wall. It was my first time visiting an orthodox cathedral and I was in awe. The detail and grandness of it is amazing. The outside is amazing, gold and white make it stand out , it’s great! There’s a little honesty system stall on the right hand side as you enter. The location is very accessible, just across the car park. Stunning view surrounded by the mountains. Remember to appropriately dress and behave according to the rules.

Very beauty Orthodox Chrurch. Located very near to the beach of the beautyful town of Bad, Montenegro. The many golden accents on the roofs and painting makes it a extremely beautyful landmark to be seen from far away. The inside is soo beautyful. Icons all over the place. Very beautyful paintings of all the holy men. Such a nice altar... When your in Bad, please visit this beautyful church. Of your an Orthodox Christian...you need to go there.

amazibg monenegrian orthodoxe church, onside is very artistic, i would say even a bit like modern art, dont also miss tgecsouvenir shop which has amazing icones of many saints, angels ect. - very good quality for a cheap price!

The Church of St. Jovan Vladimir in Bar, Montenegro, completed in 2016, is a grand neo-Byzantine Orthodox cathedral dedicated to the martyred ruler and saint Jovan Vladimir, serving as a major spiritual and cultural landmark.

A stunning and peaceful place of worship that stands out as one of Bar’s most iconic landmarks. The Church of St. Jovan Vladimir is beautifully designed with gleaming golden domes, striking mosaics, and a spacious interior filled with light and reverence. Even if you are not religious, the architecture and serene atmosphere are well worth a visit. The church’s interior is adorned with traditional Orthodox iconography, still being completed in parts, which gives you a sense of living history. It’s especially beautiful during sunset when the light catches the domes and surrounding mountains. Located near the sea and easily accessible from the city center, this modern cathedral is not only a spiritual site but also a cultural gem. A perfect stop for those interested in Montenegrin Orthodox tradition, history, or simply seeking a quiet moment of reflection. Tip: Modest clothing is appreciated, and photos are usually allowed respectfully.

I'm not Orthodox but this is one lovely church ❤️

We went to the Church of St. Jovan Vladimir in Bar when we drove through the city. We didn’t expect such a beautiful church. We went inside and were the only people inside and were able to have a look on all the beautiful pictures and frescos in the church by our own. It is difficult to comprehend everything inside because there is so much to discover. I really can recommend a visit in the church if St. Jovan Vladimir.

Embarrassing levels pf incompetence on check in. Boat sailing late because staff can't print boarding passes properly.

(Translated by Google) Great service, great parking assistance on the ferry! The ferry has its glory days behind it, but that wasn't the point. Cabins very small and not worth the price. (Original) Obsługa super, asysta przy parkowaniu na promie bomba! Prom lata świetności ma za sobą, ale nie o to chodziło. Kabiny bardzo małe i nie warte swojej ceny.

(Translated by Google) Nice service on the Dubrovnik ship. Toilets are terrible. 2 hour delay both at low and high tide. Well-functioning air conditioning on the ship. The atmosphere is like at a campsite: even in the restaurant there are people on mattresses and mats. (Original) Miła obsługa na statku Dubrovnik. Toalety straszne. Opóźnienie 2 godzinne zarówno w odpływie jak i w przypływie. Dobrze działającą klimatyzacja na statku. Atmosfera jak na campingu: nawet w restauracji ludzie na materacach i matach.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Excelent

Expensive place!

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.

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.

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
