And that&#8217;s a real shame, because this is exactly where you&#8217;ll find <strong>one of the most authentic atmospheres<\/strong> on the entire Adriatic coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This area is often nicknamed the <strong>gateway to the Bay of Kotor<\/strong>, and the moment you arrive you&#8217;ll immediately understand why. The town clings to steep slopes right above the crystal-clear sea and <strong>welcomes you with a flood of subtropical greenery<\/strong>. Unlike the packed resorts a little further south, Herceg Novi still holds on to its <strong>laid-back Balkan character<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But be prepared for one important thing \u2014 the stairs. <strong>The town is nicknamed the city of 100,000 steps<\/strong>, and trust me, your calves are in for a serious workout. The views that open up from the upper terraces over the whole bay, however, are <strong>absolutely worth the effort<\/strong>. Let&#8217;s take a look together at the very best things you can experience here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px.jpg\" alt=\"Quick summary for those who don&#039;t have time to read the whole article\" class=\"wp-image-234384\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-shrnuti-pro-ty-kteri-nemaji-cas-ci-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Boris Hamer \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/herceg-novi-montenegro\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/herceg-novi-montenegro\/#When_to_Visit_Herceg_Novi\" >When to Visit Herceg Novi<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/herceg-novi-montenegro\/#Where_to_Stay_in_Herceg_Novi_Montenegro_Hotels\" >Where to Stay in Herceg Novi (Montenegro Hotels)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/herceg-novi-montenegro\/#11_Things_to_See_and_Do_in_Herceg_Novi_Montenegro\" >11 Things to See and Do in Herceg Novi, Montenegro<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/herceg-novi-montenegro\/#1_The_Old_Town_and_100001_Steps\" >1.

The sea is already (or still) beautifully warm at 22 to 26 degrees, but <strong>you&#8217;ll dodge the biggest summer crowds<\/strong>. All the restaurants and boat lines are running at full tilt, and you can wander the town without swimming in your own sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re tied to school holidays and <strong>have to come in July or August<\/strong>, arm yourself with a little patience. Prices climb to their peak and big cruise ships sail into the bay. Even so, Herceg Novi is <strong>noticeably quieter than nearby Budva<\/strong>. A big draw in summer is also the film festival and evening open-air screenings right at the historic fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The destination&#8217;s real speciality, though, is <strong>February, when the famous Mimosa Festival takes place<\/strong>. While the rest of Europe is freezing, here <strong>everything is already blooming in a brilliant yellow<\/strong>, with parades and markets filling the streets.

The Old Town and 100,001 Steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The historic centre is utterly unique in that <strong>you&#8217;ll find almost no cars here<\/strong>. Everything is connected by an intricate labyrinth of stone staircases \u2014 supposedly exactly 100,001 of them. Whether that&#8217;s true or just a legend, <strong>the stairs are an inseparable part of local life<\/strong>, something even the famous Nobel laureate Ivo Andri\u0107 wrote about, having lived here with his family in the 1960s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of the old town is <strong>the main Nikola \u0110urkovi\u0107 Square<\/strong>, watched over by the beautiful Clock Tower, or Sahat Kula. It was built in 1667, still under Ottoman rule, and <strong>served as the main entrance gate<\/strong>. From there you can head higher up to the so-called Belavista, an upper terrace with a little church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Belavista you get <strong>the very best view<\/strong> over the red rooftops and the blue waters of the Bay of Kotor. I recommend coming here especially towards evening, when <strong>it&#8217;s no longer so hot and the setting sun<\/strong> bathes the whole town in gorgeous golden tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1372\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare.jpg\" alt=\"Forte Mare fortress\" class=\"wp-image-234389\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare-700x500.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare-1536x1098.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare-696x497.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-forte-mare-1392x995.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Marcin Konsek \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Forte_Mare_Fortress\"><\/span>2. Forte Mare Fortress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Right above the promenade, at the very edge of the sea, <strong>stands the majestic sea fortress Forte Mare<\/strong>. Its construction began as early as the 14th century and was gradually improved by the Turks, Venetians and Austrians. The fortress <strong>guarded the main entrance to the bay<\/strong>, and today from its upper terrace you can watch ships sailing into Kotor as if they were in the palm of your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission to the viewing walkway <strong>costs around \u20ac4<\/strong>, and definitely bring cash with you. A walk along the old ramparts takes no more than an hour, but <strong>the views over the bay and the old town<\/strong> are absolutely unbeatable and make for the best holiday photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s truly unique, though, is that the fortress <strong>has functioned as a summer cinema since 1952<\/strong>. It&#8217;s one of the very oldest open-air cinemas in Europe. If you&#8217;re here in summer during the film festival, <strong>don&#8217;t miss an evening screening<\/strong> under the stars \u2014 it&#8217;s a magical experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px.jpg\" alt=\"Kanli Kula, the Bloody Tower\" class=\"wp-image-234390\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kanli-kula-aneb-krvava-vez-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Boris Hamer \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Kanli_Kula_the_Bloody_Tower\"><\/span>3. Kanli Kula, the Bloody Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even higher above the town rises another fortress, <strong>one with a notably darker history<\/strong>. It&#8217;s called Kanli Kula, which translates as the Bloody Tower, and it was built by the Ottomans in 1539. For long years <strong>it served as a feared prison<\/strong> with no escape, and traces of that era can still be felt here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission ranges <strong>from \u20ac2 to \u20ac4<\/strong>, and if you already have a ticket from Forte Mare you&#8217;ll get a discount. From its walkways you have the entire old town and its tangle of lanes <strong>literally spread out beneath you<\/strong>, offering a completely different perspective than the lower fortresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, though, a much cheerier atmosphere reigns here. In the 1960s the interior was rebuilt into a <strong>huge summer amphitheatre for more than 1,000 spectators<\/strong>. During the season it hosts opera performances, guitar festivals and theatre plays, and <strong>the acoustics between the old stone walls<\/strong> are said to be absolutely perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola.jpg\" alt=\"\u0160panjola fortress\" class=\"wp-image-234391\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-pevnost-spanjola-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Alexkom000 \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Spanjola_Fortress\"><\/span>4. \u0160panjola Fortress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to escape the tourists and <strong>experience a slightly rawer slice of history<\/strong>, head up to the \u0160panjola fortress. You&#8217;ll find it high on Bajer hill above the town, and <strong>the climb is quite demanding<\/strong>, though you can drive much of the way. It was originally built by the Turks, but got its name from the Spanish, who briefly owned it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge advantage is that <strong>entry is still completely free<\/strong>. The fortress is currently going through the first phase of restoration, which should hopefully be finished by 2027. Despite the scaffolding and somewhat crumbling state, <strong>the grounds are freely accessible<\/strong> and there&#8217;s a wonderful atmosphere of a place being slowly reclaimed by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the old ivy-covered barracks you get <strong>perhaps the most picture-perfect view in the whole area<\/strong>. The combination of the bay, the open Adriatic and the high mountains in the background is breathtaking. <strong>You&#8217;ll meet hardly anyone here<\/strong>, so you can sit down in peace and soak up the silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px.jpg\" alt=\"Savina Monastery and the local vineyards\" class=\"wp-image-234392\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-klaster-savina-a-mistni-vinice-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Miljan Ra\u0161evi\u0107 \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Savina_Monastery_and_the_Local_Vineyards\"><\/span>5. Savina Monastery and the Local Vineyards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>About half an hour&#8217;s walk from the bustling centre, <strong>the Savina Monastery is tucked away in a dense pine forest<\/strong>. The path here leads gently uphill, but the shade of the trees protects you from the worst of the heat. Entry to the grounds is free, but <strong>don&#8217;t forget appropriate clothing<\/strong> \u2014 shoulders and knees must be covered, as this is an active Orthodox monastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole complex is made up of three churches. <strong>The oldest is the Small Church, with fragments of frescoes from the 11th century<\/strong>, while the main attention falls on the large Baroque church from the 18th century with its ornate iconostasis. The third little church stands a bit higher up the slope, and <strong>even though it&#8217;s usually closed, the view from it is well worth it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the monastery stretch <strong>traditional vineyards covering roughly two hectares<\/strong>. The monks grow vines here and make their own excellent Vranac wine. <strong>I recommend coming early in the morning<\/strong>, when there&#8217;s absolute peace, the scent of pine resin fills the air and you&#8217;ll meet only a handful of locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica.jpg\" alt=\"Pet Danica promenade\" class=\"wp-image-234393\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-promenada-pet-danica-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Gorana Gomirac (VMRS) \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"herceg novi\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-06-19T06:34:41+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

The Pet Danica Promenade<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve had your fill of climbing stairs, <strong>head down to the Pet Danica promenade<\/strong>. It stretches an impressive 7 kilometres along the coast from the Meljine district all the way to the spa town of Igalo. It was named <strong>in honour of five young partisan women called Danica<\/strong>, who fell during the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the entire route you&#8217;ll find <strong>caf\u00e9s, restaurants and little swimming jetties<\/strong>. You can simply stroll along, sit on a bench or dive straight into the sea, which sits at a pleasant 24 to 26 degrees in summer. <strong>It&#8217;s most beautiful here just before sunset<\/strong>, when the surrounding mountains turn pastel shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip for vegetarians:<\/strong> Right on the promenade you&#8217;ll find Peters Pie &#038; Coffee. They serve fantastic savoury meat-free pies, fresh vegetable dishes and great coffee. It&#8217;s <strong>one of the best vegetarian stops<\/strong> in the whole town. For lunch in the classic konobas, reach for the traditional cheese zeljanica or fried priganice, and leave the meat and fish specialities to everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1196\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px.jpg\" alt=\"\u017danjice and Miri\u0161ta beaches\" class=\"wp-image-234394\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-700x523.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-1536x1148.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-696x520.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-plaze-zanjice-a-mirista-px-1392x1041.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: F1lter 88 \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Zanjice_and_Mirista_Beaches\"><\/span>7. \u017danjice and Miri\u0161ta Beaches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you can swim straight off the concrete jetties in Herceg Novi, <strong>for the prettiest beaches you&#8217;ll need to take to the water<\/strong>. Your target should be the Lu\u0161tica peninsula and its two gems, the \u017danjice and Miri\u0161ta beaches. This way you&#8217;ll skip the stressful drive along narrow local roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the main town pier of \u0160kver, <strong>small water taxis run daily from nine in the morning<\/strong>. The trip takes about 15 minutes and a return ticket <strong>will set you back a bargain \u20ac5<\/strong>. \u017danjice is a beautiful pebble beach lined with olive trees and Mediterranean greenery, offering absolutely crystal-clear water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miri\u0161ta lies right next door and is <strong>a little smaller and quieter<\/strong>. Both spots are equipped with sun loungers and restaurants, so you can easily spend the whole day here. <strong>It does get quite busy in season<\/strong>, though, so I recommend hopping on the very first morning boat to bag the best spot by the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px.jpg\" alt=\"The Blue Cave (Plava \u0161pilja)\" class=\"wp-image-234395\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-modra-jeskyne-plava-spilja-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Boris Hamer \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_Blue_Cave_Plava_spilja\"><\/span>8. The Blue Cave (Plava \u0161pilja)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Herceg Novi is <strong>the single best starting point<\/strong> for visiting the famous Blue Cave. It&#8217;s much closer from here than from Kotor or Budva, so you won&#8217;t spend half a day on the boat. You&#8217;ll find group trips at the \u0160kver harbour and <strong>prices start at around \u20ac30 per person<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cave&#8217;s main magic lies in a light effect. Sunlight penetrates through an underwater opening and <strong>turns the water inside an incredibly vivid shade of blue<\/strong>. Inside the cave you can even swim or snorkel, which is a wonderful experience in this glowing water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you want to see the most intense blue hue, <strong>ideally set off on the trip around midday<\/strong>. That&#8217;s when the most sunlight reaches the cave. The cave is at its most beautiful from May to October, when the sea is calm and the light effect works to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px.jpg\" alt=\"Mamula Island\" class=\"wp-image-234396\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-ostrov-mamula-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Boris Hamer \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Mamula_Island\"><\/span>9. Mamula Island<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking out to the open sea from the promenade, <strong>you&#8217;re sure to notice a small circular island<\/strong>. It&#8217;s called Mamula, and on it stands a massive 19th-century Austrian fortress. During the Second World War it served as an Italian prison, something that <strong>still stirs up plenty of emotion and controversy among locals<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today the situation on the island is completely different. Since 2026, the <strong>luxury five-star Mamula Island by Banyan Tree resort<\/strong> has been fully operating here. The fortress was rebuilt into an exclusive hotel with pools and a spa, and a memorial gallery was also created inside, commemorating the complicated history of this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to know that <strong>the island is not freely accessible to ordinary tourists<\/strong>. You can&#8217;t just sail over and walk along the ramparts \u2014 entry is permitted only to overnight guests, who arrive by private transfer. <strong>Regular tour boats merely slow down by the island<\/strong> so you can photograph this striking circular structure up close straight from the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px.jpg\" alt=\"Mimosa and the February festival\" class=\"wp-image-234397\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-mimoza-a-unorovy-festival-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Boris Hamer \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_The_Mimosa_and_the_February_Festival\"><\/span>10. The Mimosa and the February Festival<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to how sheltered the bay is from cold winds, <strong>the town has a unique subtropical microclimate<\/strong>. Palms, eucalyptus and large fig trees grow commonly right in the streets here. The greatest symbol of all, though, is the <strong>beautifully yellow mimosa<\/strong>, which lends the town its signature colour and scent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While back home in February we&#8217;re scraping frost off our cars, <strong>here the mimosas are already in full bloom<\/strong>. To celebrate them, the famous Mimosa Festival is held here every year. In 2026 it will be the 57th edition, running <strong>exactly from 13 to 28 February<\/strong>. The town comes alive with spring markets, music and parades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s an <strong>absolutely fantastic reason to come here outside the main season<\/strong>. Accommodation prices are ridiculously low, the streets smell of perfume from the blossoms and <strong>you&#8217;ll experience a real, genuine Montenegrin celebration<\/strong> without the summer tourist crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px.jpg\" alt=\"Igalo, healing mud and Tito&#039;s villa\" class=\"wp-image-234398\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-igalo-lecive-bahno-a-titova-vila-px-1392x783.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Biljana Jovanovi\u0107 \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Igalo_Healing_Mud_and_Titos_Villa\"><\/span>11. Igalo, Healing Mud and Tito&#8217;s Villa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the very western edge of the promenade, about seven kilometres from the centre, <strong>lies the spa district of Igalo<\/strong>. These days it&#8217;s practically merged with the town, but a far calmer atmosphere reigns here. You&#8217;ll find the famous Dr Simo Milo\u0161evi\u0107 Institute, renowned for its <strong>natural healing peloids \u2014 in other words, sea mud<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spa is celebrated all over Europe, and in 2026 it even <strong>marks 50 years since the arrival of the first Norwegian patients<\/strong>. If you enjoy wellness, you can book various treatments here or stay right in the spa complex, which <strong>feels like an intriguing step back in time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge curiosity here is the <strong>so-called Tito&#8217;s Villa Galeb<\/strong>. The Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito himself stayed in this enormous residence from the 1970s. Today the building, with its 137 rooms, is part of the spa, and <strong>occasionally public tours are held here<\/strong>, taking you through the opulent historic halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px.jpg\" alt=\"Where to go next from Herceg Novi\" class=\"wp-image-234399\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/herceg-novi-kam-dal-z-herceg-novi-px-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: F1lter 88 \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Go_Next_from_Herceg_Novi\"><\/span>Where to Go Next from Herceg Novi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Herceg Novi is an <strong>absolutely brilliant base<\/strong> for further travel. If you have a car, you can head deeper into the bay. To avoid driving all the way around the gulf, though, <strong>I recommend taking the Kamenari\u2013Lepetane ferry<\/strong>. The crossing takes just 10 minutes, costs about \u20ac5 per car and saves you nearly an hour of driving to Kotor or Tivat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d definitely recommend <strong>not skipping the country&#8217;s other iconic spots<\/strong>.

The island has recently been transformed into a private five-star luxury resort, Mamula Island by Banyan Tree, and <strong>only guests staying there have access<\/strong>. However, most tourist boats stop by so you can admire this photogenic fortress with a dark past at least from the deck.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781084698001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_the_city_nicknamed_the_city_of_100000_stairs\"><\/span>Why is the city nicknamed the city of 100,000 stairs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The entire historic center is built on a very steep slope and <strong>staircases are the only way to connect the upper quarters with the promenade<\/strong>. The number 100,000 is of course symbolic, but after a day of walking it will certainly feel that way. Nobel laureate Ivo Andri\u0107 himself described the city with the words: stairs, stairs, stairs.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781084698002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_here_from_Dubrovnik_Croatia\"><\/span>How do I get here from Dubrovnik, Croatia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It&#8217;s incredibly easy. By car from Dubrovnik airport, <strong>you&#8217;ll reach the border in about 40 to 60 minutes<\/strong>. Herceg Novi is the first larger town just past the crossing. However, in July and August, watch out for huge queues at the border that can extend your journey, so it&#8217;s better to set off early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781084698003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_entrance_to_the_local_fortresses_cost\"><\/span>How much does entrance to the local fortresses cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Prices are still very friendly. For the view from Forte Mare, you&#8217;ll pay <strong>around 4 \u20ac in cash<\/strong>, while entry to the upper Kanli Kulu costs approximately 2 to 4 \u20ac (often with a discount if you already have a ticket from the lower fortress). The highest one, \u0160panjola, is currently under reconstruction and visiting it is completely free.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781084698004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_I_go_to_Herceg_Novi_in_February\"><\/span>Why should I go to Herceg Novi in February?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>While winter reigns at home, <strong>the local microclimate is already awakening nature to life<\/strong>. The famous Mimosa Festival takes place here (in 2026 from February 13 to 28), the town is fragrant with blooming yellow trees, concerts are organized and accommodation prices are at their annual minimum.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781084698005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_best_get_to_the_famous_beaches_of_Zanjice_and_Mirista\"><\/span>How to best get to the famous beaches of \u017danjice and Miri\u0161ta?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s located on the Lu\u0161tica peninsula and you can drive there, the roads are narrow and parking is difficult. The best option is to <strong>take a boat taxi from \u0160kver port<\/strong>.
