Montenegro is a picturesque hidden gem. The Bay of Kotor, just off the Adriatic Sea, is surrounded by beautiful mountains with historic towns dotted along the coastline. Exploring The Bay of Kotor and towns along the Adriatic Coast will give you the fullest Montenegrin experience.

We took the leap, booked a 2.5 month trip, and found ourselves enchanted by the country. From tranquil charm to picturesque old towns, sun-kissed beaches, and majestic mountains, Montenegro has all the ingredients for an idyllic getaway—it exceeded our wildest dreams.

Montenegro is probably the MOST underrated European country. Located in the Balkans by the Adriatic sea, most people would choose Croatia or Greece over Montenegro. Why pick Montenegro instead? Because it's way less touristic and cheaper than its neighbors. And despite its small size, it has it all! From picturesque coastlines with centuries old towns to Alpine mountains and waterlily filled lakes, Montenegro doesn't disappoint. And because of its small size, it's possible to see its highlights in 7 days, from North to South. This guide is best suited for road trip enthusiasts and avid travelers who want to see as much as possible in a limited time and on a budget. There is little time for relaxation, expect to be exploring and driving every day (on average 3 hours per day), but it will be absolutely worth it! For convenience reasons, this itinerary starts and ends in Dubrovnik, Croatia, right at the border with Montenegro. This guide includes a detailed 7 days itinerary based on my own road trip done in 2021, with cheap accommodation recommandations, places to eat, activities, sight suggestions and even hidden gems! Everything you need in one place, so you can focus on enjoying your trip!
