More information about Montenegro

Montenegro's name means "black mountain," a nod to the rugged, forested peaks that dominate much of the country's small territory.

The Bay of Kotor, often compared to a fjord, is ringed by steep mountains and a string of Venetian-era towns that once formed part of the Republic of Venice's maritime empire.

Inland, Durmitor National Park protects glacial lakes and the Tara River Canyon, one of the deepest gorges in Europe.

Montenegro's compact size makes it easy to combine mountain adventure with coastal relaxation within just a few days.

From fortress walls to fjord-like bays and whitewater canyons, Montenegro offers dramatic scenery within one of the Adriatic's smallest countries.
