50 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Montenegro

Montenegro is a small, yet stunning country located in Southeast Europe on the Adriatic Sea. It’s known for its diverse landscapes, which include rugged mountains, deep canyons, and picturesque coastal areas. Podgorica is the capital and largest city, though many visitors are drawn to the coastal city of Kotor for its historical charm and scenic beauty. Montenegro’s compact size means that you can experience a lot in a short amount of time, making it a great destination for both relaxation and adventure.

We stayed in the quaint town of Dobrota, which is a 15 minute taxi ride from Kotor Old Town. Dobrota proved to be the perfect location to enjoy everything Montenegro has to offer without the typical European summer crowds. We were spoilt for choice with many beachfront restaurants and beach clubs, located right on our Airbnbs doorstep.

I feel so lucky to have visited Montenegro before it becomes a ‘busy and expensive’ European summer destination, which I have no doubt it will be in the next few years. The country is becoming on par with Greece, Spain, France and Italy with its charm, water-based activities, UNESCO World Heritage sites, luxury hotels and famous beach clubs. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Here are 50 photos from our trip in August 2023 - check out those views! Enjoy!

The Ultimate Guide to Battersea, London

Battersea has changed dramatically over the past decade. Once an industrial corner of south west London, it has become the focus of one of the city's most ambitious regeneration projects. For years, Battersea was best known for its power station. Today, it's one of London's most exciting neighbourhoods, where historic landmarks sit alongside new hotels, riverside restaurants and green spaces.

The Prettiest Villages in the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds has recently undergone a radical transformation from a quiet rural retreat into a global digital phenomenon. This surge is primarily driven by the TikTok effect, where the region's honey-coloured Jurassic limestone and lopsided medieval hamlets have become the face of a viral English aesthetic. Once known only to local walkers and historians, these villages now face a massive influx of international tourists who view the 17th-century streets as the ultimate high-contrast backdrop for travel content. This newfound status as a social media honeypot has turned ancient wool towns into essential bucket-list destinations for a new generation of travellers.

The Best Beaches to Visit in Cornwall

When it comes to dramatic coastlines and world-class shorelines, Cornwall completely stands apart. Shrugged by the wild Atlantic ocean, this southwest peninsula is home to some of the finest sand in Europe, where towering granite cliffs give way to expansive tidal flats and hidden, turquoise-water coves. Threaded together by the spectacular South West Coast Path, these landscapes offer incredible clifftop walking trails that lead directly down to the water's edge.

The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Sorrento, Italy

Sorrento sits on the edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula with views across the Bay of Naples, Mount Vesuvius and the islands offshore. It has long been one of the most convenient bases for exploring the Amalfi Coast thanks to its transport links, central location and easy access to ferries, trains and buses. The town itself is known for its historic centre, lemon groves, waterfront marinas, and busy Corso Italia, which stays lively from morning to late evening. You get a mix of coastal scenery, good food and day trips without the steep prices or limited access you find in the smaller cliffside towns.
