Main Information for Tourist

The sea, the lakes, the canyons, the mountains enable everyone to decide on the best way to enjoy quality vacation. In one day, a curious traveler can have a coffee on one of the numerous beaches of the Budva Riviera, eat lunch with the song of the birds on the Skardar Lake, and dine next to the fireplace on the slopes of the Durmitor mountain. These are all characteristics of Montenegro as a tourist destination with a lot to offer.

A turbulent history of this small country left behind an invaluable treasure in numerous historic monuments throughout this proud country. The blue sea with endless beaches, restless waters of the clear rivers and beautiful mountain massifs, mixed with the spirit of the old times, have given Montenegro everything one needs for an unforgettable vacation.

Montenegro is an ecological state. This fact grants it one of the primary posts in the tourist maps. A large number of sunny days in the summer months and a large quantity of snow in the winter, determine the two most developed forms of tourism in Montenegro: the coastal one - in summer time, and the winter - recreational one.

Montenegrin towns are rich in architecture from various periods that take the breath away and bring one back to the time when the structures were created. Through the various manifestations, the tourists get the possibility to learn more about the tradition and the customs of this country.

In recent times, following the global trends, Montenegro is developing extreme sports that the tourists can enjoy, as well.
