Montenegro

At a Glance

Montenegro is a small Adriatic country that compresses mountains, medieval walled towns, Orthodox monasteries, and a beautiful coastline into an area small enough to explore in a single trip. The Bay of Kotor is one of the most dramatic natural harbours in Europe, and the interior highlands give the country a rugged quality that distinguishes it from its coastal neighbours. It suits travellers who want both sea and mountain in a single compact destination.

• Name literally translates to 'Black Mountain'.
• One of the newest countries in the world, independent only since 2006.
• Coastline per capita is among the highest of any European country.
