Montenegro Travel guide
Montenegro : Michelin's recommendations
Montenegro, the black mountain, a name that evokes drama and legend. Imagine limestone cliffs plunging into a turquoise sea, stone villages sleeping under the Mediterranean sun, palaces with a Venetian look, unconquerable snow-capped summits, and age-old monasteries overlooking canyons as deep as the ones in Colorado. You're starting to get a sense of the pleasures in store for you in this 14,000 km2 European country coiled at the feet of the Dinaric Alps. Liberated from Venetian, Ottoman, then Austro-Hungarian domination, and survivor of a civil war, the smallest ex-Yugoslavian republic has been independent since 2006. It has forged a strong-willed character yet heartily welcomes tourists, still rather scarce but eager to tour the country.
You can start by exploring the trails in Durmitor National Park to the north and paddling in the depths of Tara Canyon. Then head south, bypassing the capital of Podgorica, and observe the orthodox faith of the Montenegrins at striking Ostrog Monastery and their festive spirit at the seaside resorts on the Adriatic. The coast is 293km long and was spared the concrete look. It is dotted with fortified cities and fishing villages affording salutary stopovers, such as a coffee break at a sidewalk terrace in Petrovac, a special treat, not to mention the famously spectacular Bay of Kotor.
