Tour itinerary
Day 1 : Arrival in Tivat/Podgorica
Flight to Montenegro. Transfer to the hotel.
Day 2: Budva – Sveti Stefan – Petrovac
The day begins with a stroll through Budva, one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic coast. The Mediterranean flair of this historic old town unfolds between Venetian walls, narrow streets, and small squares.
Along the coastal road, the view opens up to the world-famous island of Sveti Stefan, the symbol of Montenegro. Once a fishing village, now a luxurious retreat, the island offers a spectacular panorama – one of the most popular photo subjects in the country.
Another stop is the tranquil Reževići Monastery, which sits picturesquely overlooking the sea. The ancient stone walls, frescoes, and peaceful atmosphere make this place a true hidden gem, far from the tourist crowds.
Finally, the journey leads to the charming coastal town of Petrovac, whose red sandy bay is surrounded by pine groves and ancient fortress walls. A place that embodies Mediterranean ease.
Return to the hotel in the evening.
Day 3: Budva – Tivat – Perast – Kotor – Budva
A day full of scenic and cultural highlights along the spectacular Bay of Kotor, considered the southernmost "fjord" in Europe and one of the most beautiful natural settings in the Mediterranean.
First on the itinerary is the elegant port city of Tivat. Originally an important naval base for the Venetians and later for the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, the city now presents itself as a meeting place for international sailors and travelers with its modern Porto Montenegro marina. Between gleaming yachts, upscale boutiques, and palm-lined promenades, the modern face of Montenegro is revealed – sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and yet charmingly Mediterranean.
The route continues to Perast, a jewel of Venetian architecture. The town enchants visitors with its baroque palaces, ancient bell towers, and a waterfront promenade. From here, there is a magnificent view of the two small island churches of St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks, whose origins are rooted in an old seafaring legend – a story of faith, hope, and the inhabitants' deep connection to the sea.
In the afternoon, the journey reaches the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kotor. The city, surrounded by mighty walls and protected by the mountains, is considered one of the most beautiful and best-preserved medieval cities on the Adriatic coast. A guided walking tour leads past Venetian palaces, the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon, and through narrow, winding streets where history and Mediterranean life blend in a unique way.
Afterwards, there will be time to enjoy the special flair of the old town with a coffee or a walk along the city wall.
Return to Budva in the late afternoon.
Day 4: Cetinje – Njeguši
The day begins with a scenic drive from the Adriatic coast into the interior, into the impressive mountains of Montenegro. The destination is Cetinje, the ancient royal city and former capital of the country. Nestled among the Lovćen Mountains, Cetinje was the political and cultural heart of Montenegro for centuries.
A comprehensive walking tour leads past historic embassy buildings, ancient monasteries, and opulent residences that still bear witness to the country's glorious past. The Royal Palace, once the seat of Prince Nikola I, is particularly worth seeing, as its collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of the Montenegrin ruling family.
After the visit to the city, the journey continues to the small mountain village of Njeguši, situated on a plateau at the foot of Mount Lovćen. The village is considered the cradle of prominent Montenegrin families and the origin of national traditions. Amidst ancient stone houses and clear mountain air, visitors can sample the famous Njeguški pršut, the air-dried prosciutto produced according to centuries-old traditions – a true taste of Montenegrin culture and way of life.
In the afternoon, return to the hotel along picturesque panoramic roads with magnificent views of the surrounding mountain landscape.
Day 5: Ada Bojana – Ulcinj – Lake Skadar
The day begins with a drive to the far south of Montenegro, where the Bojana River flows into the Adriatic Sea. There lies the extraordinary island of Ada Bojana, a natural paradise characterized by its pristine beaches, dense pine forests, and tranquil river delta. Surrounded by two branches of the river, the island is renowned for its rugged beauty and is considered one of the most unspoiled places in the country.
Next, we travel to the historic city of Ulcinj, the southernmost city in Montenegro. Under Ottoman rule for centuries, Ulcinj is one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic coast. The old town rises on a rocky outcrop above the sea, its narrow streets, mosques, and oriental elements reflecting the city's rich cultural heritage. Ulcinj was once famous for its slave market – one of its most famous prisoners was said to be the Spanish poet Miguel de Cervantes, who supposedly found inspiration here for parts of his famous "Don Quixote."
In the afternoon, the route leads to Lake Skadar, the largest lake in the Balkans, which connects Montenegro and Albania. The national park of the same name is considered one of the most important bird sanctuaries in Europe and offers a breathtaking backdrop of reed beds, water lily fields, and small islands dotted with ancient monasteries. A boat trip across the lake reveals a peaceful landscape – a true haven for nature lovers. Along the way, the small island of Grmožur is also passed, once a state prison and known as the "Montenegrin Alcatraz" due to its isolated location.
A day spent amidst wild nature, turbulent history, and the quiet beauty of southern Montenegro.
Day 6: Train journey on Tito's mountain railway
An unforgettable experience awaits travelers today – a ride on the legendary Tito Railway, one of the most spectacular mountain railways in Europe.
From the coastal town of Bar, the train heads north, winding its way through impressive mountain landscapes, deep gorges, and across breathtaking viaducts. Built in the 1970s under the government of Josip Broz Tito, the railway is still considered a technical masterpiece of Yugoslav engineering. During the journey, fascinating views of Montenegro's wild nature unfold – rugged cliffs, dense forests, and sparkling rivers alternate in a stunning panorama.
After arriving in Kolašin, a charming mountain town in the heart of the country, there will be time for a short stay before the return journey begins. On the way back, a visit to the famous Morača Monastery is on the agenda. Built in the 13th century, this Orthodox monastery is picturesquely situated above the gorge of the same name and impresses visitors with its harmonious architecture and colorful frescoes, which are among the most beautiful in the country.
A day that impressively combines technology, history and nature – and shows Montenegro from one of its most pristine sides.
