Its main boulevard is lined with beautiful buildings, crumbling bell towers, and lovely coastal cafes. Perast is a must-see on any vacation to Montenegro. It awes visitors with its numerous gorgeous attractions, stunning architecture, and a lovely church in the deep blue sea. A vacation to this coastal town, whether on a day trip or as part of a round trip, is undoubtedly worthwhile!

Tara River Canyon: The "tear of Europe," as it is also known, is a great natural and tourist attraction not only in the area but also in the entire country. During the activity, you will be navigating the rapids while the water splashes you, paddling down the river while admiring the magnificent view of the Tara Gorge, and swimming and taking pictures during the breaks.

Durmitor National Park: Durmitor National Park in the northwestern portion is the go-to spot for hiking, canoeing, and other adventure activities. But there's a lot to see and look at on the way! Durmitor National Park was the right length of time to spend there, and it was a welcome respite from the summer heat on the coast. Durmitor National Park, with its towering peaks and stunning valleys, is one of Europe's best-kept secrets with towering peaks and dramatic canyons.

Lake Skadar: Lake Skadar's waters are divided by Montenegro and Albania, however, the lake's richest, marshiest region is on the Montenegrin side. It's one of Montenegro's most beautiful destinations, and it's also an opportunity to experience true Montenegrin culture that you won't find in tourist traps. Lake Skadar's reasonably warm water also makes it a good swimming destination and there are numerous beaches and waterfronts in and around Lake Skadar's villages and cities.

Sveti Stefan: Is it worthwhile to go to Sveti Stefan? Without a doubt, yes. Sveti Stefan is Montenegro's most recognizable landmark. In any event, a trip to Sveti Stefan is worthwhile. This island is one of the country's most gorgeous attractions, and swimming at its dream beach is high on any list of the finest things to do in Montenegro. Sveti Stefan is a truly serene and peaceful island, with water that sparkles like jewels. I couldn't believe how blue the lake is; it was just breathtaking.

 

MUST-DO THINGS IN MONTENEGRO

 

Climb up Kotor Fort: It's a nice hiking track where you can get away from the busy tourist areas while taking in the scenery. Although you may be out of breath by the time you reach the summit, persons of practically any physical ability can tackle the hike; just go slow and steady! Roundtrip should take about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on how much time you want to spend seeing the stronghold or simply admiring the sights. Ideally, five days or more is sufficient time to tour the seaside towns, relax in Kotor, and then travel inland.

Grab a drink with amazing views at Horizont Restaurant: One of the most picturesque spots to eat in the country. In addition, the restaurant serves homemade prosciutto and cheese from a local village. They serve Italian, International, Mediterranean, European, and Eastern European cuisines. This location offers the most stunning views of the Bay of Kotor. We want to return at sunset, which should be an unforgettable experience.

Swim in the sea at Montenegro’s beautiful beaches: It goes without saying that going to the beach and swimming in the sea is one of the most traditional things to do in Montenegro. It features a plethora of lovely beaches with blue waters and incredible peacefulness. The Bay of Kotor is without a doubt one of the best spots in Montenegro for a beach vacation, and the Blue Flag family beach is popular with locals due to its tranquil mood and beautiful scenery.

Go white river rafting on the Tara Canyon: The canyon itself is 82 kilometers long, making it one of the world's deepest and largest canyons. The view is almost unearthly, with thick pine forests on either side. With an excess of adrenaline, every visitor will experience the charm of pristine nature, with strange and distinctive landscapes that change from minute to moment. An excellent way to unwind and spend time with loved ones.

Take a sunset boat ride on Skadar Lake National Park:  Enjoy the vistas of verdant valleys and gorgeous mountains, and the ideal way to do it is on a sunset boat ride. Nothing beats skimming around the lake, looking for birds. A Skadar Lake boat ride is the ideal opportunity to sit back, relax, and experience the lake's beauties from the comfort of your own traditional Montenegrin lake boat. Visiting during the summer? This is the ideal time to take advantage of the warm lake waters and swim!
