Montenegro is unlike no other place in Europe. Soaring mountains and winter havens for skiers and snowboarders are just a few hours drive from some of the Mediterranean’s best beaches. The sun shines on Montenegro for hundreds of days each year, and ancient cities are bordered by 2000-year-old olive trees that still yield their precious fruit for local olive oil.
Montenegro is also a growing capital for adventure and extreme sports, including caving, rock climbing, skiing, paragliding – the list goes on.
And in the true Montenegrin spirit of hospitality, we at Montenegro.com have developed travelogues that truly describe our wonderful country in pictures that express our love for this place, so unlike any other in Europe.
Our Montenegrin travelogues are intended also for those who simply want to take a virtual stroll through Montenegro’s mountains, canyons, lakes, forests and other natural wonders that despite the advent of modern tourism, still enjoy the relaxing peace and quiet of a sunny summer’s day, as Montenegro intended you to enjoy it!
No sooner have the summer crowds on the coast calmed down than the first snows on the mountain peaks signify the official beginning of the winter tourist season.

Montenegro is a country with a beautiful coastline, unique beaches, islands, cultural riches, and the largest lake in this part of Europe. It is extremely rich in hunting grounds, birds and all types of fish but the essential riches of her attractiveness as a tourist centre is the huge diversity of natural beauty in such a very small area. This is what makes Montenegro as a tourist destination unique in the whole Mediterranean.
Manito and Captain's Lake
There are very few places in the world where you can at one time of the year go skiing or snowboarding early in the morning, and just an hour later enjoy one of the superb sandy beaches, to the accompaniment of a good cocktail and a first-class view.
Lipovo, Balji zub
The majority of tourists who visit Montenegro during the summer months, at the very height of the season, when all is seething with summer attractions, have no idea that the ideal time to visit can be during the pre-season, which covers the months of April May and June.
Zminje Lake
Those are the months when one could say that there is a perfect combination of weather and the advantages of a small country full of the surprises of nature. Even before all the snow has melted from the mountains the season of swimming and the delights of the sea is well under way!
