About Destination

Montenegro (Montenegrin: Crna Gora – translated as “Black Mountain”) is a country in Southeastern Europe. It is located on the Adriatic Sea and is a part of the Balkans, sharing borders with Serbia to the northeast, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the north and west, Kosovo to the east, Albania to the southeast, the Adriatic Sea and Croatia to the southwest, and maritime boundary with Italy. Podgorica is the capital and largest city.

Montenegro may be small in terms of area, but it boasts stunning mountainous landscapes, dramatic coastlines, historic monuments, and truly beautiful walled towns.

Although Montenegro's magnificent seaside scenery is best known among travelers, its mountainous inland has some grand panoramic views to offer, too. The country shares the large freshwater Lake Skadar with neighboring Albania. It has National Park status and offers great opportunities for hiking, bird watching and wildlife spotting.

Montenegro has really developed as an 'Adventure Tourism' destination in recent years. A number of companies provide: White Water Rafting (along Europe's deepest canyon), Canyoning, Mountain Biking, Climbing, Wind and Kitesurfing, Horse Riding, Hiking and Paragliding.

Montenegro makes a fantastic location for all Mountain activities, much of the interior is an uninhabited mountain and forest wilderness, with dramatic scenery and some of Europe's last bears, wolves and occasionally lynx.

In addition to the standard European and Mediterranean cuisine, Montenegro offers a variety of healthy food products and local specialties.

Montenegrins are generally, like most people in the Balkans, very hospitable and welcoming to visitors.
