National parks appeal to all nature lovers. Montenegro already has five very distinctive ones and will soon have six. For instance Biogradska Gora, the wildly romantic primeval forest, which you can explore on an easy trail. Or the area around Lake Skadar, Europe’s largest bird sanctuary. With this and many other measures our country endeavours to fulfil the article of our constitution as an “Ecological State”. Growing areas of our land are being established as nature reserves and protected by law – naturally!

Historical treasures from the earliest settlements to the Njegos Mausoleum on top of the mountain Lovcen: Yes, naturally! Our varied history left its tracks from the Roman buildings that are still used as venues up to the fortifications built by the Habsburg realm – with a breathtaking view of the unique Bay of Kotor with its fascinating heart.

Follow the Adriatic coastline south to the charming medieval village Budva and to the largest beach near Ulcinj: there is a lot waiting to be discovered. But we would like to induce you also to explore the interior of the country: the historical royal town Cetinje is just north of Budva.
