Montenegro

Montenegro packs an extraordinary variety of landscapes into one compact country, making it one of Europe's most rewarding walking destinations. In a single trip you can stroll along the shores of the Adriatic, explore the medieval streets of Kotor, and venture deep into the UNESCO-listed wilderness of Durmitor National Park, home to glacial lakes, ancient forests, and Europe's deepest canyon. Gentle trails wind through primeval beech forest at Biogradska Gora, while the serene waters of Skadar Lake and the elegant bay towns of the Montenegrin coast offer a softer, more leisurely pace. Compact enough to cover in a week yet diverse enough to surprise at every turn, Montenegro rewards walkers of all abilities with dramatic scenery, rich history, and a warmth and authenticity that feels refreshingly undiscovered.
