Herceg Novi, although not the most spectacular city in Montenegro (Kotor takes that prize) is probably the most pleasant and warrants a several day visit. The city is particularly a good alternative to the very touristy Dubrovnik in Croatia. The cities have similar architecture but Herceg Novi not being as grand (nor as touristy and expensive).

Additional Info

A sizeable Bosnian (Serb) refugee population flooded into Herceg Novi during the war years. Many of the camps are still around although they have been turned into more permanent (and quite nice) settlements. You can still see them on the bus as you leave the city. Also if you go for a wander up into the hills (very much recommended) you will come into whole new areas of construction resulting from the refugee inflow.

Get in

Unless things have changed you will have to take a Croatian bus to the border, unload your stuff, cross the border and then wait for the Montenegrin bus on the other side. This cross border bus swap happens once a day. The Montenegrins were primarily responsible for the bombing of Dubrovnik during the Croatian war and as such much hasn't been done to achieve cross border unity.

Get around

By foot

See

The Herceg Novi old town is amazing. It is located on a fairly steep hill that leads all the way down to the ocean. Wandering through the small stair ways to the various plaza's and fortresses is a many hour adventure. There are both Orthodox and Catholic churches that are well worth visiting.

Do

• Swimming - The city has some great pebble beaches. There is a path that leads along the beach part of the city for about 3 miles. Follow it until you find a place that is suitable for you.

• Hiking - Going from the bus station up towards the hills you can find some wonderful ancient stone paths that lead up to some very rural communities. The paths are not marked and not very visible but if you wander along any road for a mile or so and keep an eye on the vegetation you should find one. Either way a 3 or 4 mile walk up in the hills is highly recommended (if you find the paths or not).

Accommodation is plentiful, look for signs that say 'soba.' You should be able to get a room for 10 EUR per person during the summer months.

Get out

Catch the coastal bus to another Montenegrin city. They run very frequently.
