Montenegro manages to pack immense natural beauty, dramatic history, and vibrant culture into its compact territory. It's famous for the breathtaking Bay of Kotor, often likened to a fjord, with towering cliffs and medieval towns like Kotor and Perast perched along its shores.

Montenegro's interior is no less impressive with the wild beauty of Durmitor National Park, home to the Black Lake, and a haven for hikers, skiers, and those looking to immerse themselves in raw nature. The Tara River Canyon, one of the deepest in the world, offers thrilling white-water rafting experiences. You'll have the best views from the famous Tara Bridge.

However, Montenegro's rise as a tourism destination has its drawbacks. The once secluded and pristine beaches of the Budva Riviera are now often overcrowded, with soaring prices during peak season. The push towards upscale tourism has led to a proliferation of high-end resorts and developments, sometimes at the expense of local charm and authenticity.

Despite this, for visitors willing to venture beyond the polished veneer of the tourist hotspots, Montenegro still offers undiscovered villages and landscapes that still seem untouched by time or mass-tourism.
