VACATIONS

Montenegro is a Balkan hidden gem that offers a variety of beaches. The country's 150 miles of stunning coastline is nestled between Croatia and Albania.
The country’s Bay of Kotor is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hiking up to the San Giovanni Fortress rewards visitors with breathtaking views of the Bay of Kotor.
Montenegro’s beaches rival those of Croatia's Dalmatian Coast but have one major advantage: fewer crowds. Here, visitors can enjoy the Adriatic Coast uninterrupted.
Petrovac City Beach is ideal if you're traveling with kids because of its shallow waters. Budva is the hub of Montenegro's nightlife scene, and you can order food on its beaches.
The Montenegrin Riviera offers a wide range of fun coastal activities, and Bar's Old Town is one of the largest sites of medieval architecture in the Balkan countries.
