Know before you go

Join me on this scenic ride to Lovćen National Park by the old 25-switchback road, going from 0 to 1100 m altitude. As we climb, the view over the Bay of Kotor becomes more and more spectacular. A photo stop at the top will blow your mind!
In Njeguši village, we will see old dry-stone wall houses and discover the main local food specialties. While learning the secrets of the smokehouse, you will hear how our ancestors used it to make traditional smoked prosciutto, cheese, and brandy. We will enjoy tasting them later together with other traditional food at an old tavern.
We will find the roots of my country in Cetinje, the old Royal Capital where the royal Petrovic dynasty was settled. St. Nicolas Castle and Cetinje Monastery preserve the glorious legacy of the ancestors who shaped this country.
For more stunning views, we will make a photo stop above Budva and St. Stephen Island, two other pearls of the Montenegrin coast.
To complete Montenegrin roots, we cannot skip medieval Kotor Old Town: charming piazzas, palaces, cathedrals, and walls bring Mediterranean spirit to the country.
