Fun things to do in Herceg-Novi: 10 fun attractions and activities

Unfortunately, the main church is under reconstruction. Only the small one is open for a visit. Nevertheless, it is beautiful and peaceful area to walk around and relax.

This is a beautiful place with commanding views across the bay. It's an easy walk up from the coast and worth the effort. The main chapel is undergoing a major restoration so access is not permitted but the doors were open allowing you to see in. There are great views of the church and the bay from the steeply tiered Graveyard. Glad we made the journey.

Absolutely stunning - we had a bit of a walk to the place from the winery but glad that we took the stairs down because like many Orthodox monasteries, this one is very well adorned. Additionally, they have a nice shop on-site with icons, wine, etc., so please do go and support them in that way. My quite a five star experience because the church was undergoing refurbishment and we could not do much but it is a very peaceful property and I was happy to see it.

It’s a Monastery/ Church so as a tourist place 3 stars, not attractive. But has non tourists value for people comming to pray.

Peaceful small monastery partly under construction. Ask if the museum is open if you like icons and get a bottle of wine from the nearby winery who can was associated with the monastery but isn’t now if I understand

Nice working monastery having two Orthodox churches, grave yards, and views over the bay.

Beautiful place !! Open until the Night

The Old Town has been occupied by the Ottomans, the Albanians and the Venetians so the architecture is eclectic if not slightly bizarre. The 16 meter, Ottoman-esque clock tower is definitely one of the more bizarre additions added here on what was the main gate during Turkish rule. Regardless, it's a cool thing to see as many come to do, and well worth the steep walk up the many steps from the beach. Both sides of the clock tower, both inside the city walls and outside (Nikola Djurkovic Square) have many cafes and restaurants.

This is one of the most beautiful central places of the old town - a meeting place :) The perfect time for photos without people and tourists is 6/7am

Beautiful architecture great cardio workout to get up the steps. @Erowid_Spark on YouTube

Must see

The clock tower is the most beautiful spot in the city.

Really well maintained !

Beautiful clock tower facing within the Old Town of Herceg Novi, somehow it’s acting like a gate

It’s a very cute a small city center, the little church in the middle of the main square is a picturesque view. Maps are scattered all around and help you navigate, very nice touch. The only thing I did not like was the state in which the fortresses are kept, I would have expected more since they’re candidates to enter the UNESCO sites list. The parking is really difficult, since the only way to pay is through SMS, very difficult with an eSIM that only has internet (App was not working).

Visited this town a couple of times. A coastal historic town with a beautiful small church up hillside. Spanish Fort further up plus another Fort near to coast. A walkway goes under a clock tower leading to nice plaza area. Good restaurants and bars within this town. If walk out of town going pass coastal Fort after 1 km arrive at another church set in peaceful grounds.

Vibe is truly impressive, it feels like a little Italy. Surrounding, architecture are great. There are several pizzerias in front of the Clock Tower and if you walk down narrow street behind the square you will be passing by clothes shops and a mini market Voli

Very quaint place. There are a couple of places to drink and eat in the main square. There's also a very small church in the square. I recommend Belavista. Less than €4 for a pint of Czech beer.

The Old Town of Herceg Novi is a hidden gem on the Montenegrin coast, offering a perfect blend of history, charm, and stunning sea views. Nestled on a hillside, the town is a maze of narrow stone streets, centuries-old buildings, and charming squares that tell the story of various civilizations—Ottoman, Venetian, Austro-Hungarian—all of which left their mark on the architecture and atmosphere. The main square, Belavista, is the heart of the old town and features the beautiful St. Michael’s Church with its unique blend of styles. Climbing the Kanli Kula fortress rewards you with panoramic views over the Bay of Kotor, especially magical during sunset. The Clock Tower, built by the Turks in the 17th century, stands as one of the town’s most iconic landmarks and serves as a gateway to this historic core. What sets Herceg Novi apart is its authentic, less-touristy feel compared to nearby cities like Kotor or Budva. Local cafes, family-run restaurants, and art galleries add life without overcrowding. The stone stairways connecting the town to the coastline create a unique vertical experience. This is a place where history, tranquility, and coastal beauty meet. For travelers seeking culture with a view, Herceg Novi’s Old Town delivers.

Charming old city square, it is very small and that gives it special taste. In tourist periods must be crowded and may be even difficult to move around because of that.

Definetly worth visiting 🥰 Less crowded than other tourist attractions in Kotor bay

Nice place to have a meal , a cup of coffee or just some refreshment and watching daylilfe passing by. Many people visit the Serbian orthodox church that is on this square.

Beautiful old town, just to look around and have a good time. I would love to have more vivid music or more people, it feels a little bit lonely, but in general you will find some options to eat, drink and have a good time.

We walked down from Kanli Kula and came across this square, it’s a small one and fairly quiet. Giving a different vibe than Kotor’s old town, less tourist makes you able to enjoy it relaxingly

Quiet, small and clear old town. There’s an art gallery near the church that’s in the center and is free so mine as well visit it. There are shops and cafes around.

Little cozy square with nice restaurants around. The surroundings are clean with nice buildings, a bit away from the most crowded areas.

Nice and quite place to refresh after a walk around the old city. There are very nice restaurant to grab something to eat.

Lovely square to sit a while and enjoy a coffee.

Lovely house of the Nobel Prize Ivo Andrić. He lived in this house with his wife a couple of year.

Beautiful little museum- an actual house where Ivo Andric lived with his wife Milica Babić for several years. Very welcoming museum curator, a kind lady told us a short story about the history of the house. Lovely 30 minutes to spend there. Entrance is 4 euro and there is no parking, so you need to park your car in a garage down the street 100m. Beautiful place to visit!

We had amazing time visiting the house of Ivo Andrić! Such a great museum with extremely friendly staff

Nice place,please visit if you are nearby.Nice story about very important person in our history.Nice stuff.

Ticket price is 4 euros per person. There is not much to hear about it. No tour guide who will explain everything. But nice experience.

I loved this little museum, it's small but cosy! The woman on the reception is very helpful and friendly. The only downside for non-serbian speaking folks is that everything is written in serbian cyrilic...so since you have a lot to read inside, I guess for tourists it's not really enjoyable. Entry is 4 euros, and the view is great! 😊

The staff is verry friendly and helpfull small house but worth the entrance. The price is 4 euro per person recommend it.

Music is too loud, anoying and awfully picked. The kind of music they are playing does not fit the place. The beach misses much more ladders for entering and exiting the sea than it is provided. Changing booths should be washed off every morning because during the night people come and urinate in them. For beach visitors, hotel should provide a toilet at a certain spot.

Too loud and annoying music. Prices for chairs (€4) and umbrellas (€2) were okay though, compared to Herceg Novi beaches.

Nice beach

Great place

(Translated by Google) One of the beaches I keep coming back to! Even the rain didn't spoil my impression! Beautiful (Original) Jedna od plaza kojoj se vracam ! Cak mi pljusak nije pokvario utisak ! Prelepo

(Translated by Google) The sea is very clean, free of seaweed, slightly rocky, and the water is slightly cool. There's beautiful natural scenery between Herceq Novi and Kotor. The roads are generally single-lane and winding. It's best to avoid dusk on your return. Road lighting is almost non-existent, making nighttime travel a hassle, and the headlights of oncoming vehicles are daunting. There are no highways. (Original) Deniz çok temiz, yosun yok, inceden taşlık ve su da biraz serin. Herceq Novi ile Kotor arasında çok güzel doğal manzara mevcut. Yollar gidiş dönüş geneli tek şerit ve çok virajlı. Dönüşte akşam karanlığına kalmamakta fayda var. Yol aydınlatmaları yok denecek kadar az bu nedenle gece yolculuğu sıkıntılı, karşıdan gelen araçların farları gözleri mahvediyor. Otoban yok.

(Translated by Google) For those who love the sea, everything is beautiful, especially the warm ones. We're in the warm season this year too, I think the city could have at least poured gravel next to these steps where you enter and exit the water, if they don't have the money for concrete. (Original) Ko voli more sve mu je lijepo a topla posebno. I ove godine smo na toploj mislim da je grad mogao ako nema novca za betoniranje bar da naspe sljunak pored ovih stepenica gdje se ulazi i izlazi iz vode.

My partner and I had the most incredible day with Nebojša on his boat tour of the Bay of Kotor. To put it simply, the day was unreal. The speedboat itself was fantastic – fast, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious, making the journey between spots an absolute pleasure. ​What truly set this trip apart was Nebojša himself. We were blown away by his deep knowledge of the bay's history. He brought the stories of the charming villages and islands to life, which added a rich layer to the stunning scenery. It was like having a private historian and a skilled skipper in one! ​We visited several incredible spots, including the hauntingly beautiful Mamula island, but for us, the absolute highlight was visiting the sea cave. The experience of swimming in that brilliantly blue water was pure magic and the most fun we had. ​If you are thinking of a boat trip in Kotor, look no further. We cannot recommend Nebojša's tour enough. It was a perfect day, and we already want to go back. Our highest recommendations!!!

Absolutely fantastic experience! The wakeboarding was thrilling and well-managed, thanks to an amazing skipper who made everything smooth and enjoyable. The crew was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, which really added to the overall fun. The scenery was gorgeous. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exciting and memorable day on the water with expert guidance.

Truly amazing experience, Pistre (Nebojsa) was very professional in guiding us and showing the area. Boat ride was so much thrilling, it's not genuine Bayliner 🙃 but that's why it has a toilet in the back, ha!!!

(Translated by Google) A wonderful day trip, Budva and Sveti Stefan, and in the evening a wonderful view of Herceg Novi at night! Nebojša is a wonderful guide and has a lot of knowledge about the history of this area! 5/5! (Original) Divan dnevni izlet, Budva i Sveti Stefan, i uvece divan prizor Herceg Novog noću! Nebojša je divan vodič i poseduje mnogo znanja o istoriji ovih prostora! 5/5!

Amazing private kayak tour. The tour guide was so nice, relaxed and knowledgeable. He took us to really cool places - it was a great adventure! Would highly recommend

Had the pleasure to do this kayak tour with Obi, he was super helpful and friendly, took us to a little town called Rose, where we can swim and have coffee, it was an amazing day and we couldn’t recommend Kayak Herceg Novi enough!! Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic tour, don't let 7km of kayaking put you off, waters were calm, and the kayaking was quite easy. Ljubo was a great guide with some great knowledge of the area. Submarine shelter was fascinating. I never felt like we were in a rush. Stopped for an espresso in Rose, nice local village. Thanks for a great few hours.

We had a short kayak rental. It was a fantastic way to see more of the bay and the service was superb. We would love to come back and do one of the tours!

We had a fantastic day kayaking in Herceg Novi! We had a great time kayaking to see the submarine pen, explore the town of Rose and have a swimming break. Our guide Alan was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended for a unique and fun experience!

Me and my girlfriend did the half day tour to Rose with Ivana. We paddled across the bay and then had a drink in a café in Rose, swam at the Rose beach and headed back. She was a great Guide and we had the best time! We can only recommend the Kayak Tour with her! It was really fun and we would do it again 😊

A lovely hour kayaking on Kotor bay. Really recommend this. If not in high season worth phoning the number on the website to book.

That's the centre of Herceg Novi. I think it's worth to visit this town but it can't compete with Perast or Kotor. But I liked sitting don at the Gradska Kavana with a view of Kotor Bay. The old town is nice but it doesn't have this kind of attraction to me as other places in the bay of Kotor. Still I recommend to go there, you won't regret it!

Soo much love am here 26 August 25

(Translated by Google) The short street leading to the Old Town Square is paved with stone. This is a place for a leisurely walk, careful sightseeing, time signs on the gates and walls of buildings. The street leads to the Clock Tower and then to Belavista Square. There are many souvenir shops and cafes here. (Original) Короткая улица, ведущая на площадь Старого города, вымощена камнем. Это место для неспешной прогулки, внимательного осмотра достопримечательностей, знаков времени на воротах и стенах зданий. Улица ведёт к Часовой башне и далее на площадь Белависта. Здесь много сувенирных магазинчиков, кафе.
