Description
Your tour begins at an agreed location in Podgorica. From there, head to Budva Old Town, a fortified town shaped by nearly 400 years of Venetian rule. Budva features a 35-kilometer coastline and remains a key destination on the Montenegrin shore.
Next, travel to the UNESCO-listed Medieval town of Kotor. Its maze-like streets and small squares provide ample time for independent exploration.
After Kotor, continue to Njegusi Village via the historic road with 25 switchbacks, offering dramatic views. In Njegusi, visit a family-owned restaurant to sample smoked prosciutto and cheese, specialties of the region.
From Njegusi, proceed to Cetinje, Montenegro’s Old Royal Capital, where you will tour the town and its monastery on foot. The tour then returns to Podgorica.
An alternative itinerary includes visiting Rijeka Crnojevica near Skadar Lake National Park with a photo stop above Karuc village, a stop by Boka Bay, and a photo opportunity of Sveti Stefan island. Itineraries can be tailored upon request.
