Montenegro basics

Montenegro In Your Pocket
Named after the forbidding view of towering black mountains that the trembling Venetians spotted from their ships, Montenegro is a tiny but very bumpy country housing less people than Glasgow - yet with so much good stuff on offer. With a stunning coastline, Venetian-built medieval cities and fortresses, huge mountain ranges and Europe's most impressive bay, Montenegro has it all. The gem of the Montenegrin coastline is undoubtedly Kotor, with its charming UNESCO-listed old town hid in a corner of a dazzlingly beautiful bay. Kotor In Your Pocket has the details. Other intriguing sights include age-old Cetinje and leisurely Lake Skadar, both just a short drive from Podgorica and honored with a feature in this guide.
