Detailed itinerary

1

The tour will start in the wider region of Budva, the local licensed tour guide will be waiting for you in front of your hotel.

2

After soaking in the charm of Kotor’s Old Town, we’ll head up one of the most breathtaking roads in the region—the old Austro-Hungarian road, famous for its 25 winding serpentines. Don’t worry, we’ll take it slow so you can enjoy the ride and take in the views. With every turn, the Bay of Kotor opens up more and more below us—like a painting that keeps coming to life. This road was built over a century ago, and it’s still one of the most scenic drives in Europe. We'll stop along the way for photos and to just breathe it all in. It's the kind of view that stays with you long after the trip is over.

From the winding road, we’ll climb even higher—up to the majestic Lovćen Mountain, the heart and pride of Montenegro. At the very top sits the mausoleum of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, our beloved poet, philosopher, and ruler. Getting there feels like a little adventure of its own—461 steps to the top, but totally worth it. Once you're up there, the view is unreal: mountains rolling into the sea, skies that seem to go on forever, and silence that makes you feel like time has paused. We’ll share Njegoš’s story, why he means so much to us, and give you plenty of time to take in the peace and beauty of this sacred place. It’s more than a monument—it’s a moment.

Stop 4

Welcome to Kotor! We’re so excited to show you around our beautiful Old Town. Your licensed local guide will be waiting for you right in front of the main gate, ready to take you on a relaxed walk through the cobbled streets and secret corners. Kotor is small but full of charm—every stone has a story, every square feels like a movie set. We’ll show you the spots you’d miss on your own, share local legends, and maybe even a few personal memories. It’s not just history—it’s home. Come wander with us, feel the heartbeat of this magical town, and see why we locals love it so much. You’re not just booking a tour—you’re joining a friend for a walk.

5

Next, we’ll make our way to Cetinje—the old royal capital of Montenegro and a place that feels like walking through the pages of our history. Once the center of culture, politics, and royal life, Cetinje is full of charm and quiet dignity. We’ll stroll past old embassies, the royal palace, monasteries, and colorful streets that hold stories from every chapter of Montenegro’s past. It’s peaceful, a little nostalgic, and deeply meaningful to us locals. This isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a glimpse into the soul of a small country with a big heart. We’ll take our time, share stories, and let the town speak for itself.

6

After the fresh mountain air, we’ll take you to the village of Njeguši—small, peaceful, and full of flavor. This is where Montenegrins have been making traditional prosciutto, cheese, and honey rakija for generations. We’ll stop at a family-run place where you can taste the real deal: smoked ham slow-cured in mountain air, local cheese, homemade bread, and a sip (or two) of rakija to warm your heart. It’s not just a tasting—it’s a chance to slow down, connect, and experience a piece of everyday life here. Locals always say: you haven’t really been to Montenegro until you’ve eaten in Njeguši—and we couldn’t agree more.

7

Just when you think the views can’t get any better, we’ll take you to one of Montenegro’s most iconic viewpoints—Pavlova Strana. Tucked above the meandering Rijeka Crnojevića river, this spot feels like it was made for postcards. The way the river curves through the green landscape looks almost too perfect to be real. It's peaceful, quiet, and absolutely breathtaking. We'll pause here so you can soak it all in, snap some unforgettable photos, and just enjoy the stillness. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop, smile, and remember exactly why you travel.

8

If you are heading to Kotor, we’ll make one last unforgettable stop—a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Budva Riviera and the iconic island of Sveti Stefan. From here, the coastline stretches out like a dream: sparkling blue sea, tiny red rooftops, and the famous islet that looks like it floated out of a fairytale. It’s the perfect farewell view—quiet, stunning, and a beautiful way to reflect on the journey we've shared. We'll pause for photos, take in the breeze, and let the moment sink in before gently winding our way back to where it all began.

9

After taking in the jaw-dropping views from Pavlova Strana, we’ll head down to the peaceful riverside village of Rijeka Crnojevića. Once a royal fishing spot, today it’s a quiet gem with stone bridges, sleepy boats, and charm around every corner. We’ll stop here for a relaxing break—maybe a coffee by the river, or even a short boat ride if you’re up for it. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and nature and history wrap around you like a warm blanket. Whether you're sipping something local or just enjoying the calm, this stop is a breath of fresh air before we head back.
